Un accent multiculturel en région parisienne

2013

Abstract

This study was carried out within the ANR project Multicultural Paris French, which deals with linguistic consequences of the contacts between migrant languages and French within Parisian suburbs. The constitution of the corpus for this project was the opportunity for methodological considerations concerning the conditions of data collection, and in particular for a reflection on pre-categorizations (of speakers as well as of situations). The present article discusses some "emergent phenomena" such as an intonation contour said to connote "suburban ways of speaking". The analysis shows how sociolinguistic considerations highlight phonetic and prosodic observations.
