  • A Comparative Prosodic Study of Questions in French in Contact with Occitan and Catalan
    Journal of Speech Sciences 4(2) 59-72.2014 Available at: www.journalofspeechsciences.org A comparative prosodic study of questions in French in contact with Occitan and Catalan Philippe Boula de Mareüil, Albert Rilliard, Fanny Ivent, Varvara Kozhevina LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay, França __________________________________________________________________________ Abstract In the south of France, the French language has developed in contact with Occitan in Provence and Languedoc, in contact with Catalan in Roussillon. This study reports on a first analysis of data collected in these regions, during a field survey carried out among speakers of Occitan and Catalan, in addition to French. In particular, we compared the prosody of yes/no questions ending in a word stressed on the penultimate syllable (e.g caserna ‘barracks’ in Occitan or Catalan, caserne with a pronounced final schwa in southern French). On the last two syllables of questions, it turns out that the rising-rising pitch pattern is the most common and, according to a perception experiment using prosody modification/resynthesis, that it is preferred to a falling-rising pattern by southern French listeners (without significant differences between Provence and Languedoc). A falling-rising pattern was also observed in Roussillon, possibly resulting from a prosodic transfer from Catalan to French. It was not associated with that region by southern French listeners who took part in a second perceptual experiment. Yet, the intonation patterns found may have different functions: the rising-rising pattern, especially, is most often interpreted as a confirmation query. Key words: prosody in contact; southern accents in French; endangered languages. __________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction Interrogation is a key aspect of prosody since, in many languages, intonation distinguishes questions from statements.

The IE accentual system is described in light of recent advances in the understanding of prosodic phenomena. It is proposed that the IE accentual system was much like that of modern Russian or Lithuanian in that the accent was a distinctive property of morphemes, and words without accent received initial stress. A set of simple rules is developed to account for this stress distribution. Since the theory predicts that loss of lexical accent should result in initial stress, the initial stress found, for example in Celtic, Germanic, and Italic, is attributed to this loss.

  • A Typology of Stress in Spanish Non-Verbs
    A typology of stress in Spanish non-verbs Mark Gibson Universidad de Navarra [email protected] Abstract This article discusses the topic of stress in Spanish and its relationship to a higher metrical category called the foot. A general typology couched in the theoretic architecture of Optimality Theory is provided. I argue and illustrate that all stress patterns in Spanish non-verbs can be justified by a ranking schema of constraints which first govern the shape of metrical feet, and later determine the alignment of these feet to the syllable. Keywords: Stress assignment, Spanish, Optimality Theory. Received: 4.ix.2011 – Accepted: 20.xii.2011 Table of Contents 1 Introduction to Spanish stress patterns 2 Projection of stress on the grammar 3 Foot alignment 4 A typology of Spanish stress 5 Conclusions References 1 Ianua. Revista Philologica Romanica ISSN 1616-413X Vol. 11 (2011): 1–30 http://www.romaniaminor.net/ianua/ c Romania Minor 2 Mark Gibson 1 Introduction to Spanish stress patterns In this article stress is defined in terms of relative prominence in relation to the other syllables contained in the word. In the disyllabic token pato ‘duck’, [pa.to], for example, primary stress falls on the [a], denoted by the application of the acute accent mark «´ » [p´a.to]. Some words may also contain secondary stress which is exclusive to the phonetic level. Consider the word mariposa ‘butterfly’. Apart from primary stress, which applies over the penultimate vowel [o], this word also contains secondary stress over the first vowel [a], depicted using a grave accent mark «` », [m`a.Ri.p´o.sa]1.

  • 3.3 BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE PRONUNCIATION for SPEAKERS of SPANISH, LEARNERS of PORTUGUESE Antônio Roberto Monteiro Simões University of Kansas
    I created special characters for this chapter, but the editors had problems to print them correctly. This version which is currently in print is under format revisions before the final product goes public. 3.3 BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE PRONUNCIATION FOR SPEAKERS OF SPANISH, LEARNERS OF PORTUGUESE Antônio Roberto Monteiro Simões University of Kansas This chapter contrasts the basic and most relevant pronunciation features of Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. It is designed for speakers of Spanish who wish to learn Portuguese as well as for teachers with an interest in Portuguese for speakers of Spanish. Given its bilingual nature, it can also be useful for other audiences, such as speakers of Portuguese who are learners of Spanish and, as pointed out by Beaudrie, Ducar and Potowski (2014 212), to heritage speakers. I will focus only on the pronunciation features that are most relevant for these audiences. I have chosen to avoid certain phonetic details because they are more useful to linguists, especially to phoneticians and phonologists. It is obvious that it is completely impractical for teachers and learners of Portuguese to try to correct every detail of pronunciation. For a more detailed historical and synchronic description of the sounds of Spanish and Portuguese, I recommend the recent study by Ferreira and Holt (2014). This chapter focuses on the pronunciation of Brazilian Portuguese. Note that the terms “second language” and “foreign language” are not used, as I prefer the term additional language. Although this chapter highlights Spanish and Portuguese, examples from English will be used as needed, to more fully illustrate some of the pronunciation features discussed.

  • F422 HISTORY of the FRENCH LANGUAGE Prerequisite: FRENCH 221
    F422 HISTORY OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE prerequisite: FRENCH 221 Catalog Description: "A linguistic study of the phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical changes which turned the Latin spoken in Gaul into modern standard French. No previous training in linguistics required." (Note also: no previous training in Latin or Old French required.) Language of instruction: English. Instructor: Dr. Nathan L. Love Texts: A History of the French Language Peter RICKARD The French Language: Present and Past Glanville PRICE We will be concerned with external and internal history. External history pertains to the cultural, social, political realities bearing on language change, whereas internal history concerns itself primarily with phonological developments that occur within the language, independent of cultural phenomena. The Rickard text outlines external history, and the Price text catalogues the internal history of the French language. Class instruction will consist of traditional lectures bearing on language structure and internal history. The emergence of Old French from Vulgar Latin will receive emphasis since it is the earlier stages of development which are most remote from us. The readings on external history will be left to the students to complete. Requirements: A research paper, midterm and final exam. This will be a course rich in learning opportunities. It will provide a brief introduction to linguistics (especially historical Romance linguistics), an overview of the structure of Classical Latin, the essential characteristics of the syntax and lexicon of Old French, the standardization of Modern French in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Much that is arcane in Modern French grammar and spelling will become clearer, I hope.

In the case of Costa Rica (the variety under study in difficulty in placing the written accent in Spanish words is this investigation), similar results were found in a study with related to their ability in perceiving stress. The following children (primary school) [5]. As far as adults are concerned, variables were also taken into account in this study: the [6] found that 84% of the spelling errors in an adult Costa participant's education level (academic and non-academic), the Rican written Spanish corpus (COCAE) were due to the stimulus lexical status (words and non-words), accentual omission of the written accent. Besides other reasons (e.g. pattern (proparoxytone, paroxytone and oxytone words) and education level, lack of attention, etc.), the difficulty in placing length (2, 3 and 4 syllables). Participants performed a stress the written accent might be explained by the difficulty in identification task and a word spelling task. Besides the effects perceiving stress. In that respect, [7] mentioned that 46% of of lexical status, education level and accentual pattern, results the participants (students at the very beginning of their studies show an effect of the stress perception in the assignment of the in Pedagogy in Spanish) had difficulties in identifying the written accent: stimuli with a correctly identified stress were stressed syllable.

In this experiment, the role of stress to be placed on the first (proparoxytone), second these parameters in the perception of lexical stress in (paroxytone) and final (oxytone) syllable –número, numero, isolated words has been studied using natural resynthesised numeró; límite, limite, limité; médico, medico, medicó; speech.

  • ROMANI GRAMMAR by Marcel Courthiade
    ROMANI GRAMMAR by Marcel Courthiade Volume 1: General Information, Phonology, and Morphology Translated from Albanian by Geoff Husič Originally published in Tirana, Albania, 1989 as Gramatika e gjuhes rrome Notes on the digital edition I originally completed this translation in 1989 and have recently digitized the print edition, the original text file of which is in a now-unconvertable format. Other than the few chances mentioned below, this pdf is identical to the print version. I have changed the original spelling of Romany to the more moden spelling Romani. Replacing text in a PDF is a fairly clunky procedure so there may be a few resulting format abberations. It was also not possible to change the spelling in few cases in the images in the text.
