	Writer's Block, Essay, Franglais in Canada — Does it Facilitate or Impede Clear Expression? - Spring 2000
		In Canada, however, Franglais has a predominantly linguistic connotation, and the consensus among specialists is that it refers to the francophone practice of "borrowing" English words and randomly stringing together English and French sentence fragments.
		For her, Franglais is a "skill rather than some kind of defect." Poplack has spent more than a decade studying the effect of the French language’s long contact with the English language in Ottawa-Hull, one of Canada’s largest bilingual enclaves.
		The argument in favour of Franglais is simple: linguistic cross-pollination is as old as time and most languages have remained vibrant thanks to the influx of new words, new meanings, and new discoveries.

	Franglais - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this sense, the term "Franglais" is used as much in a European context as in Canada (except Quebec).
		However, the term Franglais is used in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and some parts of Northern Ontario and northern Maine to refer to the mix of English and French spoken there, which is itself a longstanding dialect (see chiac).
		A good example of an anglicism turned Franglais is the unintentional translation of English phrases into French by students unaware of the 'proper' ones generally used in Quebec French.

	An Orwellian Language Policy?
		Though French people pay lip-service to the notion that le franglais must be stopped, if a dirigiste strategy is to work, French speakers must change their stripes, since the French readily admit that they are unwilling to do what they are told to do.
		In other words, resistance to franglais will come about if each French citizen not only pays lip-service to the official policy about it, but also exercises self-control in their consumption and exchange of such illegitimate linguistic commodities.
		Other social forces may act to do this, but they will be social forces outside the control of the government, such as urbanization, computerization, the channel tunnel, the globalization of the economy (and the concomitant spread of the English language), perceptions about the cultural capital that standard language provides and so on.

	The threat of franglais (Site not responding. Last check: )
		What is clear, however, is that even if the French Academy does not see its task as being one of standardizing the French language, the public at large thinks it does, and cannot understand why it does not act to save the language from the incursions of the more modern menace, le franglais.
		Thus the body that has the highest public expectations of it, imbued as French linguistic culture is of the idea that language can be controlled from a central body, itself abjures any notion of control, even of something as mundane as spelling.
		But the responsibility for various things is diffused, and for the public at large, the perception is that things are mired in red tape.
