【 摘 要 】

Most North American research into technical writing explores the profession as it is practised in English; investigation of technical writing in languages other than English centres mainly on technical translation. This paper points out that in Canada, and primarily in Quebec, there is a considerable body of technical documentation written originally in French. Through an analysis of two surveys conducted by the authors itattempts to identify who these French-language professional and technical writers are, where and under what conditions they work, and what type of training they have.
