Résumé
Acadie's existence has long been debated. This article analyzes the ideological discourse of New Brunswick francophones in an effort to elucidate what is understood by the term Acadie. The author presents three Acadian discourse periods and a typological framework that have served to define Acadie in academic literature. Focussing on data collected as part of a larger project on Acadian identity, the author validates this framework through qualitative analyses, proving the existence of ideological diversity in that province that led francophones to interpret the term Acadie differently. The author concludes by postulating that Acadie is perhaps best understood as a co-linguistic community located within the Maritime provinces whose founding members are francophones and whose heritage can be traced back to the 1755 Expulsion.
