In January 2017, the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) adopted a new policy revising the principles and the treatment criteria on which its language intervention regarding linguistic borrowing, and more specifically anglicisms, is based. However, the issue of anglicisms is likely to prompt debates in Quebec, and this is exactly what happened when the OQLF published its new policy. This article focuses on the polemic caused by this policy in the media. The aim is to show the dichotomy between the various points of view that have been taken and thus to reflect on the current perception of not only anglicisms, but also the relationship between French and English in Quebec and, more broadly, the role of the OQLF in the society.
