Abstract
Were the Acadians still considered as Acadians from 1755 to 1765? This article gives an account of the many linguistic designations used in Atlantic host societies regarding Acadian exiles. These designations, found in public archives and private correspondence, reveals much about the British and French administrators’ views whenever they used expressions such as “Acadians” or “Neutral French.” These designations shed light on administrators’ expectations of Acadians who hesitated between granting Acadians British subjection and considering them as free laborers.Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the author(s), with Acadiensis being granted a non-exclusive licence to each and every right in the work throughout the world.
