by the linguistic landscape and by the nature and direction of population change. Linguistic affiliation determines one's propensity to remain within a region and guides the choice of destinations. The bifurcation of Canada into unilingual regions will be renforced.

The border regions of Eastern France are closely related with the neighbouring countries. This relationship is still alive in spite of the tendency to stress national identity of each state. The relative linguistic homogeneity favours cultural
continuity, a spatial model that can be seen as having developed during four periods: up to 1955, perceptions were preferentially directed to national spaces| from 1955 till 1960, the linguistic unity gradually entered the perceptions of people in the areas

Les aires linguistiques laissent ressortir plus ou moins distinctement les frontières linguistiques. Ces dernières exercent un effet de barrière qui réduit sensiblement les échanges migratoires. Connaissant cette particularité, il est intéressant
d'analyser la répartition de certains noms de famille issus des différentes aires linguistiques. De fait, ces répartitions permettent, d'une part, de redessiner les aires linguistiques et, d'autre part, de s'interroger sur la diffusion de ces noms de famille

The linguistic analysis supports the hypothesis that Wisconsin glacier ice influenced the distribution of native North American linguistic groups. The distribution of languages suggests that the arrival of humans in the New World predated the last
glacial maximum (approximately 18,000 yr ago). The positions of the Eskimo-Aleut and Na-Dene linguistic groups during the Wisconsin glacial maximum are hypothesized to have been northwest of the main ice sheet, while the Algonquian linguistic group
Minority toponyms on maps. The rendering of linguistic minority toponyms on topographic maps of Western Europe
Purpose of this thesis is the reconstruction of the various trends or developments in the government approach to toponyms. This is done by comparing subsequent map series of the same areas where linguistic minorities were or are prevalent. The study
is by no means a linguistic study but it is intended to be a cartographical analysis. The study has been carried out in a number of contact-zones such as Belgium, Wales, Scotland, South Tirol, Carinthia, Lausatia, Vallée d'Aosta and Corsica. (AGD).
