Thesis (M.A.)--Indiana University, 2017.

Picard is an endangered Romance language of Northern France; it is closely related to and in intense contact with French. Because its speakers are all bilingual and many Picard activists are currently involved in a revitalization movement that seeks to legitimate Picard as a language, the study of variation in Picard speech raises many complex and important questions concerning language and identity. In addition, this situation has created a sociolinguistically eclectic speech community that combines speakers who have been speaking Picard from a young age and activists and non-activists who have learned it later as a second language. While Picard variation patterns have been tackled by studies such as Eloy (1997), Pooley (2002) and Hornsby (2006), these studies have not answered the particular question of how the sociolinguistic background of the speakers and their view of the language influences the patterns of variation inside their Picard speech. The present thesis proposes such a study, observing in particular the variation in morpheme combinations at the word level, specifically in the infinitive, the past participle and the imperfect. This study builds on previous findings by Auger & Villeneuve (2013) and Auger (2001, 2003), for example, which have revealed that French and Picard each have a separate grammar, by comparing the variation patterns in French and in Picard. The present study seeks to determine whether language activism, the time of first language use (at a young age or as an adult), and the level of formality affect the variation patterns in Picard speech. First, this study finds that French grammatical morphemes are rare in the corpus, confirming that Picard verbal morphology remains relatively unaffected by contact with French. This study also reveals that age of first use is be the most crucial factor for explaining the variation observed. Moreover, it reveals that the different speaker groups treat variables differently: for example, activists have a similar pattern to non-activists in the imperfect, for which the paradigm finds directly correlating forms in French, but the variation patterns are different in the past participle and infinitive paradigms, which are contrastive in Picard but homophonous in French.
