Contribution to a grammar of intonation in French Form and function of three rising patterns
Résumé
The grammatical status of intonational contours is roughly uncontroversial in the literature on intonation although the definition of this notion may differ according to the different approaches. However, the status of the so called 'continuation rise' remains quite unclear. Is it a real contour or a 'default' F0 movement? Could it appear in focal position and if so, is it part of the nuclear inventory of contours? Is it formally and/or functionally different from other rises? From a study on spontaneous speech in French, we show that the 'continuation rise' in focal distribution has the same formal properties than in non focal one. On the contrary, we observe a clear formal difference between the 'continuation rise' and rising contours appearing in enumerations.
