Prosodic Structure in Child French: Evidence for the Foot
There is disagreement in the literature on whether French has stress and on whether it has a foot projection. The disagreement stems from the observation that French is unusual in that the phrase rather than the word is the domain of stress assignment, there is optional initial stress in addition to obligatory final stress, and there are rampant violations of word minimality. In view of these o...
متن کاملThe Autosegmental-Metrical Prosodic Structure: not fit for French?
Since two decades at least, intonation phonology is almost exclusively dominated by the Autosegmental-Metrical model, which appears universally appropriate to describe sentence intonation in most languages. However, careful examination of the AM limitations and drawbacks may question this universality, leading way to improve and possibly modify key properties of this theoretical approach, at le...
متن کاملProsodic Structure Representation for Boundary Detection in Spontaneous French
Automatic speech processing has recently turned to the treatment of continuous spontaneous speech, which demands, among many other issues, a representation of its prosodic organization. This paper presents a new approach to automatic prosodic boundary detection and prosodic unit structuring, based, with certain changes, on a descriptive theory of the French prosodic system initially proposed fo...
متن کاملThe Prosodic Structure in French: Properties and Constraints
In this lesson we will attempt to formalize the properties of the prosodic structure and define its relationship with the syntactic structure of the sentence applied to French data. To characterize the properties of the prosodic and syntactic structures we will need a set of 4 dependency relations: A-> B A depends of B on the right, A selects B on its right, B precedes A; Ex.: Une charmante soi...
متن کاملTriggering Factivity: Prosodic Evidence for Syntactic Structure
It is well-known that, across languages, so-called “given” information (as opposed to “new” information) systematically correlates with lack of phonetic prominence, or deaccentuation (Halliday 1967, Taglicht 1982, Ladd 1996, Selkirk 1995, Schwarzschild 1999, among many others). The primary goal of this paper is to provide a minimalist syntactic account for a sub-case of this phenomenon, namely ...
