Abstract

Though forty years of language policies much improved the status and use of French in Quebec, laws such as Bill 101 played a role in reducing the demographic and institutional vitality of the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ). Pro-French laws maintained Francophones at close to 80% of the Quebec population and ensured that 95% of the Quebec population acquired knowledge of French. Language laws contributed to the decline of Anglophone mother tongue speakers from 13% of the population in 1971 to 7.5% in 2016, while increasing to 70% French/English bilingualism amongst Anglophones. With a net interprovincial loss of over 310,000 Anglophones who left Quebec for the rest of Canada (ROC), results show that Anglophones who stayed in Quebec are less educated and earn lower income than Quebec Francophones. Language laws limiting access to English schools succeeded in reducing the size of the English school system from 256, 251 pupils in 1971 (100%) to only 96,235 pupils in 2018 (37%). While the Anglophone minority bemoan their demographic and institutional decline in education, health care, and government services, many Francophones remains concerned about threats to French by bilingualism in Montreal and their minority status in Canada and North America.
评估101号法案对魁北克英语社区的影响
尽管四十年的语言政策大大提高了法语在魁北克的地位和使用,但101号法案等法律在降低魁北克英语社区的人口和制度活力方面发挥了作用。亲法法律将法语人口保持在魁北克人口的近80%,并确保魁北克人口的95%掌握法语。语言法导致讲英语的母语人口从1971年的13%下降到2016年的7.5%,同时英语人群中法语/英语双语率上升到70%。跨省净损失超过31万名离开魁北克前往加拿大其他地区的英语人,结果显示,留在魁北克的英语人受教育程度较低,收入也低于魁北克法语人。限制进入英国学校的语言法成功地将英国学校系统的规模从1971年的256251名学生(100%)减少到2018年的96235名学生(37%)。虽然讲英语的少数民族哀叹他们在教育、医疗保健和政府服务方面的人口和制度下降,但许多讲法语的人仍然担心蒙特利尔的双语以及他们在加拿大和北美的少数民族地位对法语的威胁。
