| Summary | "Glossaire franco-canadien et vocabulaire de locutions vicieuses usitées au Canada" by Oscar Dunn is a linguistic reference work created in the late 19th century. This volume aims to document and preserve the unique French language as used in Canada, addressing the blend of traditional French with local vernacular and English influences that characterize Franco-Canadian speech. The opening of the book includes a detailed introduction written by Louis-H. Fréchette, which reflects on the historical context of the French language in Canada following the Treaty of Versailles in 1763. Fréchette discusses the resilience of the French language and culture amidst British dominance and emphasizes the importance of maintaining the purity of the language against anglicisms and vulgarisms. The introduction sets the stage for the glossary itself, which promises to catalog over 1,750 distinct terms and phrases that reveal the evolution of the French language in Canada, highlighting local expressions and the impact of rural and urban life on linguistic development.
