- W10857806 abstract "COHOES, NEW YORK IS LOCATED AT THE CONFLUENCE Of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, about ten miles north of Albany, the state capital. In its late-nineteenth-century heyday, the city was home to Harmony Mills, then one of the largest textile factories in the world. As in many other industrial centers of the northeastern United States, much of the labor was supplied by French-Canadian workers. Today, approximately one third of the population of 16,000 is of French-Canadian descent. The 1990 census shows one tenth of these Franco-Americans' reporting French as the language of the home.2 There are at least two dimensions along which North American francophone communities form a continuum. The first is the proportion of the communities' speakers who are bilingual in English and the second is the number of communicative functions which French fulfills for those speakers. In the Cohoes community, there are no French monolinguals and there is no function for which French is regularly used. In fact, most francophones are over 60 and claim they never speak French because there is no one left with whom to do so. However, field work has revealed that they have maintained strong language skills and handily identify relatives, friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners as potential consultants. The apparent contradictions in the Cohoes situation raise a theoretical question as to whether one can still reasonably consider Cohoes a French speech today. Through an examination of the way in which Cohoes Francos categorize themselves and other members of the community in relation to their skills in and use of French, this paper offers the beginnings of a response. It demonstrates how, in the face of the steady decline of the use of the language in their daily lives, French-speaking inhabitants of this city maintain their francophone identity. The discussion is based on conversations with 22 consultants aged 56 to 81 recorded in the summer of 1991 and averaging 75 minutes, and on continued personal interactions with those and other members of the Cohoes Franco-American community since then. Further details of the corpus are found in earlier reports.3" @default.
