This book examines the variation found in modern spoken French, based on the research programme 'Phonology of Contemporary French' (Phonologie du Francais Contemporain, PFC). Extensive data are drawn from all over the French-speaking world, including Algeria, Canada, Louisiana, Mauritius, and Switzerland. Although the principal focus is on differences in pronunciation, the authors also analyse the spoken language at all levels from sound to meaning. The book is accompanied by a website hosting audio-visual material for teaching purposes, data, and a variety of tools for working with corpora. The first part of the book outlines some key concepts and approaches to the description of spoken French. Chapters in Part II are devoted to the study of individual samples of spoken French from all over the world, covering phonological and grammatical features as well as lexical and cultural aspects. A class-friendly ready-to-use multimedia version of these 17 chapters as well as a full transcription of each extract is provided, with the sound files also available on the book's companion website. Part III looks at inter and intra-speaker variation: it begins with chapters that provide the methodological background to the study of phonological variation using databases, while in the second section, authors present case studies of a number of PFC survey points, including Paris, the Central African Republic, and Quebec. Varieties of Spoken French will be an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, and students of all aspects of French language and linguistics.

The Oxford Handbook of Corpus Phonology (Hardcover): Jacques Durand, Ulrike Gut, Gjert Kristoffersen The Oxford Handbook of Corpus Phonology (Hardcover)
Jacques Durand, Ulrike Gut, Gjert Kristoffersen
R4,431 Discovery Miles 44 310 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This handbook presents the first systematic account of corpus phonology - the employment of corpora, especially purpose-built phonological corpora of spoken language, for studying speakers' and listeners' acquisition and knowledge of the sound system of their native languages and the principles underlying those systems. The field combines methods and theoretical approaches from phonology, both diachronic and synchronic, phonetics, corpus linguistics, speech technology, information technology and computer science, mathematics and statistics. The book is divided into four parts: the first looks at the design, compilation, and use of phonological corpora, while the second looks at specific applications, including examples from French and Norwegian phonology, child phonological development, and second language acquisition. Part 3 looks at the tools and methods used, such as Praat and EXMARaLDA, and the final part examines a number of currently available phonological corpora in various languages, including LANCHART, LeaP, and IViE. It will appeal not only to those working with phonological corpora, but also to researchers and students of phonology and phonetics more generally, as well as to all those interested in language variation, dialectology, first and second language acquisition, and sociolinguistics.

Dependency and Non-Linear Phonology (Paperback): Jacques Durand Dependency and Non-Linear Phonology (Paperback)
Jacques Durand
R1,257 Discovery Miles 12 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

First published in 1986. The purpose of this collection of articles is to explore in depth the notational model dependency phonology, and also to offer rival, non-dependency-based accounts of aspects of suprasegmental and intrasegmental structure. Dependency and Non-Linear Phonology offers an introduction to dependency phonology that does not presuppose any knowledge of this framework and points out some of the major differences between dependency phonology and competing systems of representations. The book will also act as a guide to current debates in the field of 'non-linear' phonology.

Frontiers of Phonology - Atoms, Structures and Derivations (Paperback): Jacques Durand, Francis Katamba Frontiers of Phonology - Atoms, Structures and Derivations (Paperback)
Jacques Durand, Francis Katamba
R2,211 Discovery Miles 22 110 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"Frontiers of Phonology" is a collection of essays that present a selective overview of trends in the linguistic analysis of sound structure. The essays are written by specialists from Europe, Canada and the USA and discuss issues from three broad areas of phonology: the nature and representation of phonological features; the role and structure of the skeletal tier and syllable structure; and the competing claims of derivational and declarative approaches to phonology.
The book provides a forum for lively discussion of important theoretical topics from various standpoints including metrical and autosegmental phonology, dependency phonology and declarative phonology. The contributors, who are protagonists of these different standpoints, compare notes and show the merits of their different approaches. The essays discussing derivational issues offer an excellent introduction to the area of constraints based phonology, and by covering the phonology of many languages the book provides an understanding of how human languages in general use sound.

Generative and Non-Linear Phonology (Paperback): Jacques Durand Generative and Non-Linear Phonology (Paperback)
Jacques Durand
R2,115 Discovery Miles 21 150 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Modern generative phonology has witnessed an explosion of models in recent years, in the wake of Chomsky and Halle's monumental 1968 study of The Sound Pattern of English. A variety of competing frameworks have appeared since then, usually labelled non-linear in contrast with the model advocated by Chomsky and Halle. The scene has become so crowded and complex that it is now difficult for specialists and non-specialists alike to see which of these claims are compatible, which contradictory, and which mere notational alternatives. There has been a growing need for a judicious review of the whole field, which Jacques Durand now meets in this timely and impressive addition to the Longman Linguistics Library. In it, the author offers a perceptive discussion of the full range of concepts and debates in modern generative phonology. Starting from the basic notions of classical phonemics, he gives an overview of standard generative phonology, including distinctive feature theory. Thereafter, separate chapters introduce and evaluate such developments as Underspecification Theory, Lexical Phonology, Metrical Phonology, Autodimensional and Multidimensional Phonology, and Dependency Phonology. The book presupposes only a basic knowledge of phonetics in the reader. Designed for linguistics, students of language and linguistics, and information scientists, it will be widely welcomed for its objectivity and range, and for the clarity of Jacques Durand's analysis throughout.

This wide-ranging collection of essays provides penetrating insight into a variety of views on grammatical theory from a number of leading linguists. Contributors such as John Anderson and Jim Miller address, in different ways, the semantic basis for syntactic relations. John Alyons develops a theme underlying his work on "notional grammar"--the relationship between ontology and language. Steve Pulman's work on prepositional relatives in English, and Andrew Radford's essay on exclamative particles in modern spoken French, provide a detailed study of particular constructions in one language. The volume also contains a wealth of original work by leading figures in Universal Grammar such as Bernard Comrie on reference tracking systems, Bob Dixon on grammatical relations, Greville Corbett on gender systems, and John Hawkins on the explanation of Language Universals.
