Intonational Phrasing in French in the light of oral corpora

Résumé

It is well established that the speech flow is segmented into prosodic phrases (let’s call them ProsoP), which are crucial for interpreting the speech stream. Since the eighties, several proposals have been formulated, mostly within Prosodic Structure Theory, to account for the way ProsoP phrases are derived and organized. Among the proposals, there are however discrepancies regarding the criteria used to derive prosodic units above the word level (phonetic and phonological criteria vs. syntax-phonology mapping rules). This raises questions on the exact nature and status of these phrases, especially in French where there is a strong syncretism between accentuation, rhythm and intonation. Among ProsoP phrases above word level, it is nevertheless important to make a clear distinction between the intonational phrase (IP) and other prosodic phrases such as minor and major phonological phrases (PhP). The aim of this paper will thus be twofold: (i) showing in which way the intonational phrase differs from other prosodic phrases above the word level in French; and (ii) arguing for a model in which the effective phonetic realization of a prosodic phrase boundary partly derives from the occurrence of other boundaries within the utterance. This study is based on an analysis of various French corpora.
