Mission

(Voir le texte en français ci-dessous)

Language is central to the cultural identity of every Canadian and has been integral in shaping Canada’s development. Few countries can match Canada’s rich and varied language heritage, which includes the official languages of French and English and their regional dialects, aboriginal languages from coast to coast and the many languages brought to this country by more recent immigrants.

The Canadian Language Museum will:
- promote an appreciation and understanding of all of the languages spoken in Canada and of their role in the development of this nation.
- initiate and support the collection and dissemination of information about the constantly changing linguistic landscape of this country.
- introduce the public to the scientific study of language and to current language research in Canada.
- encourage communication between groups across the country that are concerned with language.
- facilitate dialogue on fundamental language issues that are at the heart of the future of Canadian society, such as bilingualism, multilingualism, language endangerment, preservation and revitalization.

La langue est une composante principale de l'identité culturelle de toutes les Canadiennes et tous les Canadiens, et elle a joué un rôle fondamental dans le développement du Canada. Peu nombreux sont les pays qui peuvent se réjouir d'un héritage linguistique aussi riche et varié que celui du Canada, qui englobe les deux langues officielles, soient le français et l'anglais, et leurs dialectes régionaux ainsi que les nombreuses langues autochtones et toutes les langues apportées jusqu'ici par les immigrantes et les immigrants.

Le Musée canadien des langues aura pour but :
- de favoriser l'appréciation de toutes les langues parlées sur le territoire canadien et leurs rôles respectifs dans le développement de cette nation;
- d'entreprendre et appuyer le rassemblement et la diffusion de l'information sur le paysage linguistique toujours en évolution de ce pays;
- de faire connaitre à la population canadienne l'étude scientifique du langage et la recherche linguistique contemporaine au Canada;
- de favoriser la communication entre des associations canadiennes concernées par le langage;
- de coordonner la discussion sur des sujets linguistiques fondamentaux pour l'avenir de la société canadienne, tels que le bilinguisme, le multilinguisme et l'aménagement linguistique.
