La règle de fusion [vocalique entre deux mots en français québécois] est une règle variable dont ne sera formulée ici que la version catégorique; ce sera une tâche trop vaste, dans le cadre étroit de ce travail, que de déterminer le poids relatif de chacun des facteurs structuraux, sociaux et stylistiques qui en commande la variation.
