Écrire au contact du français et du francoprovençal : la représentation de la diglossie dans quelques œuvres dialectales de France et de Suisse

Abstract

In this paper, we study the presence of French/Franco Provencal (FP) diglossia in FP literature, whether original texts or translations. We discuss: 1) the presence of French passages in ‘classical’ FP literature in the western part of the FP region; 2) the bilingual writing in the contemporary novel of the Savoyard writer Pierre Grasset and the differentiated possibilities offered by each language; 3) the staging of diglossia in the translation into Gruyère Francoprovençal (canton of Fribourg) of the Tintin album L’affaire Tournesol (Engl. The Calculus affair).
