La réforme des accords du participe passé: Réception dans les presses belge, française et québécoise

This article examines the reception of the reform of past participle agreements in the print media in France, Belgium, and Quebec. Using a corpus of newspaper articles collected from the Europress and Eureka databases, covering the period from 2014 to 2022, the study compares media reactions and public opinion in these three French-speaking regions. The authors and arguments for and against the reform are identified. In all three communities, the majority of arguments support the reform. Arguments in favor of the reform are primarily logical and pedagogical, while arguments against are often emotional and linked to principled opposition. France stands out with a presence of ad hominem attacks, often directed at Belgium, while Quebec emphasizes its progressive stance on language to encourage the implementation of the reform.
