<P> The abundance of anglicisms in Quebec French leads some people to speak of "sabirisation" (from sabir, "pidgin"), because of the mixture of both languages . Law 101 could postpone the advance of the phenomenon or even prevent it . </P> <P> In conclusion, according to Robert Dubuc's article "Régionalismes et communication" ("Regionalisms and communication"), for the French - speaking community of Quebec, "il n'y a de salut hors de la maîtrise de ses moyens linguistiques dont le français commun constitue l'armature essentielle et efficace" ("there is no salvation beyond the mastery of its (the community's) linguistic means, of which common French constitutes the essential and effective weapon"). </P> <P> In general, the same norms as in common French are applied . Only certain words have a different gender . Notable from a semantic point of view are the use of the word "pis" for the conjunction "and", where "et" would be used in Metropolitan French; the word "là" to punctuate the end of a sentence or after a word; and the use of "à" instead of the possessive "de", for instance, "la maison à Jacques" for "Jacques's house". </P> <P> French is a language with a T--V distinction, where different pronouns are used for polite and familiar address . Quebecers use the familiar tu form more than other dialects . This use is often qualified as the imitation of the English - speaking use of you, which is the only pronoun referring to the second person, but only in spoken language . </P>
