L' enseignement (ou non) de je vas en Louisiane

un exemple de pragmatique appliquée à la variation diatopique ?

Abstract

Based on a corpus of twelve interviews with French immersion teachers in Louisiana, this article explores the links between pragmatics and diatopic variation, focusing on a morphological feature of North American French: je vas. Perceived locally as an authentic form, this variant is considered by European French speakers to be an error that needs to be corrected. How, then, do teachers view the teaching of this form from a pragmatic perspective? Based on a case study, this article reflects on the integration of variation into the field of second language pragmatics.
