Canada′s official language communities: an overview of the current demolinguistic situation

Abstract

The demolinguistic trends affecting the two major official language communities in Canada are reviewed for the period 1971-1991 using census data. I will begin by discussing some of the basic concepts used in demolinguistic analyses....The quantitative parts of this paper...will first describe the patterns of change in Canadas official language communities between 1971 and 1991 for the country as a whole for the provinces and for the major linguistic regions. Further analysis will deal with the processes that affect the size and composition of language communities: fertility mortality migration and language shift. (EXCERPT)
