- PublicationAccès libreAn Acoustic Study of Penultimate Accentuation in Three Varieties of French(Shangai: Speech Prosody, 2012)
; ; Racine, IsabelleThe aim of this paper is to provide an acoustical account of penultimate accentuation in some varieties of French. We compare stretches of spontaneous speech produced by 8 Swiss speakers (4 Neuchâtel speakers and 4 Wallis speakers, hereafter "regional varieties") with the productions of a group of 4 Parisian speakers (hereafter "standard variety"). The results of our study show that penultimate accentuation is less frequent in Parisian French than in the Swiss varieties. More interestingly, the study reveals that the phenomenon has different acoustic correlates not only between the standard variety and the regional varieties, but also within the two regional varieties: while Wallis speakers tend to be closer to Parisian speakers using melodic cues to mark their penultimate syllable as prominent, speakers from Neuchâtel tend to prefer using durational cues to do so. - PublicationAccès libreNotes de recheche sur l'accentuation et le phrasé prosodique à la lumière des corpus de français(2013)In this paper the main rules for stress assignment in French, the constraints relative to the formation of minor prosodic units (Accentual Phrases) and major prosodic units (Intonational Phrases, IP) are first recalled. A procedure developed in order to annotate semi-automatically these phenomena in different French corpora is then described. Finally the results of two studies are presented. The first one is conducted on a 4-hour long corpus (designed for the statistical study of regional variation in Swiss French). It aims at testing the robustness of two phonological rules implicated in the formation of Accentual Phrase in French (deaccentuation of pre-nominal adjectives (a sequel to the Align-XHead constraint), accentual clash avoidance rule). The second summarizes the main results obtained in the author’s PhD thesis (Avanzi, 2012). It is conducted on a set of data containing approximately 800 dislocated-sentences. It questions the weight of syntactic and information structure cues in front of prosodic structure cues in order to identify Intonational Phrase boundaries.
