Editing Quebec French (section)

=== Mutual intelligibility with other varieties of French ===
There is a continuum of intelligibility between Quebec and European French; the two are most intelligible in their more standardized forms and pose more difficulties in their dialectal forms.{{sfn|Larose|2004}}<ref name="salien1998">{{Cite journal |last=Salien |first=Jean-Marie |date=1998 |title=Quebec French: Attitudes and Pedagogical Perspectives |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1540-4781.1998.tb02601.x |journal=[[The Modern Language Journal]] |language=en |volume=82 |issue=1 |pages=95–102 |doi=10.1111/j.1540-4781.1998.tb02601.x |issn=1540-4781}}</ref> If a comparison can be made, the differences between both varieties are analogous to those between

Quebec's culture has only recently gained exposure in Europe, especially since the [[Quiet Revolution]] ({{lang|fr|Révolution tranquille}}). The difference in dialects and culture is large enough that speakers of Quebec French overwhelmingly prefer their own local television dramas or sitcoms to shows from Europe or the United States. Conversely, certain singers from Quebec have become very famous even in France, notably [[Félix Leclerc]], [[Gilles Vigneault]], [[Kate and Anna McGarrigle]], [[Céline Dion]], and [[Garou (singer)|Garou]]. Some television series from Quebec such as {{lang|fr|[[Têtes à claques]]}} and {{lang|fr|[[L'Été indien (TV program)|L'Été indien]]}} are also known in France.<ref>{{cite web|title=L'Eté Indien|url=http://www.france2.fr/emissions/ete-indien/presentation_249371}}</ref> The number of such shows from France shown on Quebec television is about the same as the number of British shows on American television even though French news channels like [[France 24]] and a francophone channel based in France, [[TV5 Québec Canada]], are broadcast in Quebec.<ref>{{cite news|title=La chaîne France 24 diffusée au Québec par Vidéotron|author=Agence France Presse Québec|work=The Huffington Post|date=7 October 2014|url=http://quebec.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/10/07/la-chaine-france-24-diffusee-au-quebec-par-videotron_n_5949704.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tv5.ca/|title=TV5 Canada}}</ref> Nevertheless, Metropolitan French series such as ''[[The Adventures of Tintin (TV series)|The Adventures of Tintin]]'' and {{lang|fr|Les Gens de Mogador}} are broadcast and known in Quebec.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allocine.fr/series/meilleures/pays-5018/|title=Allociné}}</ref> In certain cases, on French TV, subtitles can be added when barbarisms, rural speech and slang are used, not unlike cases in the US of a number of British programmes being shown with subtitles (notably from Scotland).
