Québécois (word) la langue française mentions only a territorial meaning for "Québécois". Newspaper editor Lysiane Gagnon has referred to an ethnic sense of the word "Québécois" in both English and French. French expressions employing "Québécois" often appear in both French and English. Québécois (word) Québécois (pronounced ; feminine: Québécoise (pronounced ), ' (fem.: '), or (fem.: ) is a word used primarily to refer to a native or inhabitant of the Canadian province of Quebec, the majority of whom speak French as a mother tongue. It can refer to French spoken in Quebec. It may also be used, with an upper- or
Latin word order based, and establishing what nuances of meaning or emphasis could be obtained by using different word orders. Two major recent works on Latin word order, based on different approaches, are those of Devine and Stephens (2006) and Olga Spevak (2010). It is generally agreed that pragmatic factors play a major role in Latin word order, that is, factors such as topic and focus, contrast, emphasis, and heaviness. The topic (what is being talked about) often tends to come at the beginning of the sentence, and the focus (what is said about the topic) at the end or in penultimate position.
