- See p. 21.
- Hereinafter referred to as LaF; Louisiana French will be referred to as LF and Standard French as SF.
- See also W. von Wartburg, ACLS Bulletin, No. 34 (March 1942), p. 77, where he points out that it is impossible to delimit linguistic boundaries for Louisiana French because of a very unstable settlement history and the fact that “… the language… has undergone a strong influence of English. The intensity of this influence, however, varies not only from one place to the other, but from one person to another.”
- see A. Juilland, Structural Relations (S'-Gravenhage, 1961).
- Cross-boundary relations (e.g. linking or liaison) between contiguous grammatical words illustrate physical indeterminacy in SF, and these phenomena are still largely preserved in LaF, although the behavior of word stress allows more independent status for the word.
- The use of /epsilon/ for the morpheme une is on the level of morphology. Mention should be made of the confusing use by the authors of slashes for both phonemes, phones, and allophones.
- For the fluctuation of er and ar in Old French see K. Nyrop, Grammaire historique de la langue f rankaise, Vol. I (4e édition; Copenhague 1939, pp. 259–262; amor is common in texts of the Middle Ages.
- On implosion in St. Martin Creole, spoken in St. Martin Parish, La., see this reviewer's paper in Studies in Languages and Linguistics. A. H. Marckwardt, ed., Ann Arbor, 1964, p. 159.
- For this feature, ibid., p. 158.
- We believe that one cannot therefore properly speak of diphthongs, etc. In French but rather of successive sequences of full vocalic segments. For the history of the mono- phthongization of Old French diphthongs, see W. von Wartburg, Evolution et structure de la langue française (Cinquième édition; Berne, 1958), p. 124f.
- see E. Haugen, The Norwegian Language in America, Vol. II (Philadelphia 1953), p. 402f.
- The statement of the authors that LaF ø often corresponds to SF /d/ as in grand'- mère is surprising, to say the least. A similar error is made in the statement “Pronunciation of the digraph au alternates between and /o/…” (47).
- For tenront and the lack of consonant between n and r in Picard, see von Wartburg, op. cit., p. 83.
- Authors discuss invariables under syntax and variables under morphology, according to constituent (form) class. Since both systematic (paradigmatic) and syntagmatic (text) procedures show little variation in basic form classes of SF and LaF, the authors do not give detailed catalog of LaF morphemes and tend to rely on traditional assumptions as a result.
- Cf. footnote 6.
- Intensification of an adverb was noted for assez loin là-bas en arrière (cf. English go on down into the barn). Repetition is also a frequent stylistic device with adjectives and adverbs, e.g. il est supposeé être gros, gros; j'ai un antique shop là-là.
- There can be also just plain ellipsis, e.g ., quand les oeufs [viendront], on va avoir de I’ argent.

- The use of this term is similar to that of Trager and Smith in some of their recent papers.
- The reviewer could not help but notice that her paper on juncture (Ilse Lehiste, An Acoustic-Phonetic Study of Internal Open Juncture. Supplement to Phonetica V (I960) is erroneously quoted and listed as a co-authored paper.
