Abstract: My paper addresses from a user-based sociolinguistic 
perspective the different formal and structural connections between 
language use and representation, social inscription and spatial 
anchoring of the “old” French-speaking people of Ghent in Belgium 
(Gantois francophones, once the French-speaking bourgeoisie with Flemish 
roots), in contrast to the evidence provided by the relatively “new” 
French speakers of Ghent, whose multilingual repertoires result from 
their heterogenic sociohistorical situations and migration trajectories. 
It is in the context of super-diversity, which characterises the city of 
Ghent, that the paper demonstrates how French – imagined or practiced – 
contributes to the construction and consolidation of collective 
“minority” identities of these francophone groups through language 
practices marked by what I call conventionalized heteroglossia (Lafkioui 
2019, 2021). In doing so, the study demonstrates how French contributes 
to the phenomenon of “vernacular globalisation” (Appadurai 1996: 10; 
Blommaert 2010: 75).
