Abstract
Le gouvernement canadien analyse ses données linguistiques de recensement en fonction des objectifs politiques de l’heure. Depuis quelque temps, il cherche surtout à rassurer quant à la situation du français. La mise à jour par Marmen et Corbeil (2004) de leur monographie sur les statistiques linguistiques fédérales, parue dans la série Nouvelles perspectives canadiennes du ministère du Patrimoine canadien, va encore plus loin en ce sens que l’édition précédente. Nous proposons ici des pistes à suivre en vue d’apprécier de façon plus adéquate la dynamique des langues au Canada.
The Canadian government analyses its census data on languages according to current political objectives. For some time, it has mainly been seeking to provide reassurance about the situation of the French language. The update by Marmen and Corbeil (2004) in their monograph on federal language statistics, which appeared in Heritage Canada’s series New Canadian Perspectives, goes even further in this direction than the previous edition. This paper sets out some lines of thought aiming to develop a more accurate assessment of the dynamics of languages in Canada.
