Study of the affinities and differences in the lexical characteristics of French spoken in North America (Quebec, Acadia, Louisiana)

Since French is spoken on all five continents, it does not always have the same face and the same features in the entire French-speaking world. North America is one of the linguistic areas of the Francophonie, with particular interests for linguists who seek to study regionalisms and lexical features highlighting cultural and linguistic diversity within the Francophonie. The study of the affinities and divergences of the lexical characteristics of spoken French in Quebec, Acadia and Louisiana is of interest in this article in order to examine the plurality of the French-speaking North American space. Many examples that we categorize at lexical and semantic level support our discussion and present the lexical richness as well as the diversity of North American French"s".
