Abstract
An examination of Acadian French spoken in the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Coordinate & subordinate structures are examined because they deviate noticeably from Standard French constructions. Data are drawn from several recent novels, most notably A. Maillet’s La Sagouine (The Squirrel‑Monkey). Discussed is use of pis (puis ’then’) as a conjunction, often replacing et ’and’. Usage of ou ’or’ is also examined. B. Annesser Murray
