Travaux Neuchatelois de Linguistique (TRANEL) (Neuchatel Working Papers in Linguistics), Volume 14.

Three papers in linguistics, all in French, are presented. "La delocutivite lexicale en francais standard: esquisse d'un modele derivationnel" ("Lexical Delocutivity in Standard French: Sketch of a Derivational Model"), by Marc Bonhomme, examines the process by which certain expressions become neologisms. "La terminologie de l'Essai de grammaire de la langue francaise' de Damourette et Pichon" ("The Terminology of 'The Essay on Grammar of the French Language' by Damourette and Pichon"), by Ruedi Rohrbach, explores why grammarians Damourette and Pichon attempted to reinvent the terminology of grammar, and how their results are coherent but not always in accordance with empirical reality. In "Statut de langue et accommodation langagiere le long d'une frontiere linguistique" ("Status of Language and Language-Related Accommodation Along a Linguistic Frontier") (Shana Poplack), research on French language patterns along the border between French-majority Quebec and French-minority Ontario is presented. Individual papers contain references. (MSE)
