Les faits linguistiques, l’effet littéraire. Vers un bilan de la problématique sociolinguistique dans la recherche sur la littérature québécoise

In this article, we propose a synthetic review of the selected studies published at the turn of the 21st century that refer to the phenomena of the relation between language(s) and the literature of Quebec from the 19th century till today. This brief overview of current research on the relations between language(s) and literature(s) shows some directions in the evolution of theoretical approaches: from the political to the aesthetic, from the collective to the individual, from the bipolar to the multidimensional, from the local to the global, through comparative readings. The québécois sociolinguistics, which functions as a theoretical basis for the scholars and critics of literary texts, shows the directions of reflection characterizing the committed attitude of the contemporary sociolinguist (especially from the year 2000 onwards).
