The status of a language in a foreign land is always difficult to determine precisely. Regarding the case of French in England, this status seems highly shifting throughout the course of history. Relatively well documented for the centuries of the Norman period, the presence of French seems to wane with time only to appear in unexpected and versatile areas.
To measure changes in the status of the language of Molière, we chose to divide arbitrarily this long period of ten centuries into three parts of unequal duration. This way, we will firstly focus on the late Middle Ages and the Norman period, then the era between the Renaissance and the late Enlightenment and finally the period stretching from the Industrial Revolution to today.
