The overtness of a communicative act is the publicity inherent to shared commitments, and since commitments can be shared unknowingly, communicative intentions are not necessary for communicating.

Through an examination of representations of the French language and French language ability, the study develops a comparative analysis of the evaluation of French language ability of English-speaking Canadian politicians in the French-language and English-language Canadian media in a comparative perspective, demonstrating that the divergent language representations and the ideologies they underpin condition a number of differences between the two respective discourses: the overwhelmingly negatively constructed commentary in the French-language corpus, the construal of French language ability as an acquirable skill and a tool of communication by English Canadian journalists and as an intrinsic faculty by French Canadian journalists, and the positing of a monolingual educated native speaker as a standard in French Canadian journalistic metadiscourse on language, with no such standard discernible in the English Canadian discourse. Crucially, in examining the ways in which the two discourses interact, and, potentially, influence one another, the analysis shows the reproduction of discourse to be unidirectional, with French-language discourse influencing its English-language counterpart. This finding suggests an important role of language ideologies circulating in the French-language press in judging French language ability in Canada, which can be problematic for bilingual speakers and adult learners of French, such as English-speaking Canadian politicians.”</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 52-62"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50197390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
