Extract

The purpose of this article is to consider the main contributions of Mougeon et al.’s study and to examine the implications of their findings for future research on Canadian French. We first give a brief overview of results obtained, then present a critical analysis of their findings. In our comments, we consider alternative methodological approaches with a view to reflect on how such alternatives would enhance Mougeon et al.’s results and those of future research.
