This paper is a first attempt to understand “Chiac” and its goal is to determine the degree of linguistic interference between French and English in a language contact situation where French is the minority language. To this end, we analyzed about 5,000 dialogues in France Daigle’s novel and revealed the following two facts through a series of discussions centered on “borrowing scales” and “integration.” First, through corpus analysis, we confirmed that the lexical categories most sensitive to borrowing are nouns, followed by verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in the order of how greatly they are influenced by English. Conjunctions, interjections, prepositions, and pronouns were also borrowed from English but the frequency of their borrowing was less high than those of the higher-ranking lexical categories. Second, in the case of adjectives, conjunctions, and verbs, even if they were borrowed from English, they were often assimilated into the unique grammatical rules of French, which differed from English. In the case of adjectives and verbs, inflections according to gender, number, and derivation according to person appeared; in the case of conjunctions, there was no morphological change but they did not have the power to ruin the grammatical structure of French. From the above two facts, we found that in the case of Chiac, factors such as function of words in a sentence, morphosyntactic differences, and complexity of grammar can affect the degree of language interference. This study hopes to resolve the serious imbalance in domestic studies and promote a broader understanding of French in North America.
