Sacres Across the Atlantic

- An intercultural comparison of the pragmatics of swearing in Quebec French and Maltese with implications for FLE

About Sacres Across the Atlantic

A distinguishing feature of Quebec French is the varied set of swearwords inspired by Catholicism (les sacres) that are used in conversation. These terms are approached here from an interactionist viewpoint in order to be able to establish a comparison between their functions and those of Maltese swearwords in linguistic interaction.
