Im Kampf zur Verteidigung und Verbreitung des Standardfranzösischen, der schon lange vor der Französischen Revolution begann, ist das Internet zum neuen Schlachtfeld geworden. Wir wollen untersuchen, inwieweit die Neuen Medien die althergebrachten Denkweisen zur Sprachenpolitik in Frankreich herausfordern. Insbesondere gehen wir dabei der Regelung von On-line-Praktiken nach, und zwar aus vier verschiedenen Blickwinkeln. Zuerst geht es dabei um die gesellschaftliche und intellektuelle Elite (vor allem in Paris), die den Staat, die Regierung und damit verbündete Organisationen umfasst. Zweitens beleuchten wir die selbst ernannten und lautstarken Wächter der französischen Sprache, die den Gebrauch der Standardformen durch alle, jederzeit und in allen Kontexten fordern. Drittens betrachten wir die neuen Medien-Plattformen und ihre Sprachenpolitik. Schließlich berücksichtigen wir die Nutzer der Neuen Medien, die oft textspeak, emoticons und normabweichende Formen verwenden und deren wenig konventionelle Sprachpraktiken die drei zuvor genannten Gruppen zu steuern suchen.

<p><strong>RÉSUMÉ.</strong><strong> </strong>Motivé par la forte différenciation ethnico-linguistique d’un pays caractérisé par un profil sociolinguistique pléthorique et complexe du fait de ses 283 unités linguistiques, l’Etat camerounais opte au lendemain des indépendances pour une politique linguistique érigeant l’anglais et le français comme langues officielles. A ce titre, ces deux langues des anciennes puissances coloniales bénéficient de privilèges de premiers rangs, au détriment des langues nationales qui se contentent de statuts et fonctions secondaires. Le français en ce qui le concerne se retrouve ainsi sur un territoire où les diversités ethnique, géographique et culturelle détermineront ses modalités d’appropriation et d’expansion, et surtout les variations sociolinguistiques auxquelles il est soumis. Se pose alors la question du développement et du devenir de cette langue importée et le présent article vient apporter des éléments de réponse à ce sujet. Ainsi, le travail analysera à partir de l’approche variationniste, les usages du français camerounais qui évolue et s’enrichit chaque jour un peu plus de tournures morpho-syntaxiques, d’emprunts, de nouvelles graphies, de calques, de nouveaux sens, etc.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Mots-clés:</strong> <em>appropriation, diversité, français camerounais, statuts, variations.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><strong>ABSTRACT.</strong><strong> </strong>Motivated by the strong ethno-linguistic differentiation of a country with a bloated and complex sociolinguistic profile due to its 283 linguistic units, the Cameroon government after independence opted for a language policy erecting English and French as official languages.

This raises the question of the development and the future of this imported language, and this article just provides answers to this.

The article analyzes the language situation and language policy in the Canadian province of Quebec. The Federal and provincial laws on the language adopted in the second half of the XX century are analyzed and the situation in which the French language was in the province of Quebec is indicated. The sixties of the last century in Quebec is called the "quiet revolution", it was a period of profound social and political changes. The quiet revolution was peaceful, evolutionary, but it involved the entire population of the province. The "revolution" was accompanied by a change in the ethnic imbalance in the society, in which the both political and economic powers were in the hands of the English-speaking minority. Another important aspect was the modernization and secularization of the Franco-Canadian community and the rise of its standard of living up to the average level of Anglo-Canadians one. French-speaking Canadians who were at a lower stage of economic development, was on the edge of loosing their native language, which caused a strong rise of the nationalist movement in Quebec, which was directed by provincial authorities to rescue the Quebec version of the French language and improving socio-economic situation of the French speaking community.
