Abstract
The linguistic questionnaires applied in the Aosta Valley in 2015-2016 allowed us to establish that Aostan French is still dotted with regionalisms that attest to their vitality. The lexemes and collocations confirmed by Aostan speakers of French can be grouped into three main categories: loanwords from Italian and Franco-Provencal, as well as archaisms and lexical neologisms. Thus, the specialized study of the examples contributed by representatives of three generations allowed us not only to elaborate a classification of Aostan regionalisms by their nature, degree of assimilation, etymology, etc., but also to define the trends of the lexical development of Aostan French in the 21st century.
