Radio-Canada et la promotion de la culture francophone (1936-1997)

Abstract

Radio-Canada and the Promotion of Francophone Culture (1936-1997), Aurélie Luneau. In the service of 6.5 million Francophones, Radio-Canada (SRC) has been fighting since 1936 against Anglophone assimilation. From the promotion of Francophone artistic talents to the Frenchification of sport vocabulary, the defense of French culturs has been accompanied by a constant effort to assure the literary quality of the spoken language. The French spoken on the SRC today plays the role of language reference. But the undertaking has been suffering since 1986 by a budget squeeze, to the extent of seeing its mission put into question.
