Les communautés francophones de l’Ouest canadien: De La Constitution Des Corpus De Français Parlé Aux Perspectives De Revitalisation
La recherche sur les variétés de français parlées dans l’Ouest canadien a connu ces dernières années un essor lent mais certain. Il reste que bien des aspects de ces parlers français sont encore méconnus et qu’il est nécessaire de poursuivre les travaux de collecte, de description et d’analyse afin de donner un portrait linguistique actualisé des communautés francophones de ces régions du Canada. C’est le principal objectif que s’est fixé l’équip…
Canadian English in a Francophone Family
The French language in Alberta is evolving in a strongly minority context. An examination of three generations of speakers from the Peace River region in northwestern Alberta—the area with the highest proportion of francophones—shows the progressive effects of longstanding contact with English. While the grandparents have fluent spontaneous speech with little calquing or code switching, the father’s speech is less spontaneous and shows increased …

Schwa and /œ/ in French
Few topics in the phonological literature have inspired the amount of attention that has been lavished on the notorious “mute-e” of contemporary French. Perhaps the most perplexing difficulty for phonologists is how (or even whether) to include schwa in phonological representations. Solution of the representation problem, moreover, is necessary for a proper identification of the conditions under which schwa is deleted, maintained or inserted, and…
Differences in live coverage between CNN and the Broadcast Networks in the Persian Gulf War
The crisis in the Persian Gulf presented a unique opportunity to assess differences in the coverage of live breaking news between the Cable News Network (CNN) and the broadcast networks. For the first time, CNN and the broadcast networks competed directly for audiences by presenting round the clock coverage of certain events. A content analysis revealed that CNN focused on the presentation of five events while the broadcast networks concentrated …

Morphological Features and Markedness in the Old French Noun Declension
In the evolution of morphological studies, morphological features and markedness have come to play increasingly important rôles. Feature notation in morphology allows the development of the notion of natural morphological class, renders explicit much of the internal structure of paradigms and permits the exploitation, suitably adapted, of many of the results obtained in phonology. Markedness considerations, particularly when linked to general the…
Automatic versus morphophonemic rules: Some Old French evidence
Patterns of analogy in the old French verb system
Collapse and Reorganization of the Latin Nominal Inflection, as Reflected in Epigraphic Sources
On contracted forms in Canadian French
Speculation concerning the future direction of linguistic evolution, despite its obvious pitfalls, has a long tradition, not to mention attraction, in linguistics. In the French domain, one need only think of Pulgram (1967) or of various works by Ashby concerning « Future French » (1974, 1977), both of whom reflect on ideas present in French scholarship dating from the early decades of this century (e.g. Meillet, 1921, 1936; Vendryes, 1923).

Lexical stratification in French phonology
Word Stress in French
French phonology and morphology (Schane 1968, henceforth FPM ) presents a tightly integrated set of arguments for an abstract morphophonemic stress rule in Modern French. This rule depends crucially on an underlying tense-lax distinction in the vowel system, and on various morphological restrictions. However, the FPM rule can be modified and restricted, within Schane's framework, to give a more accurate picture of stress assignment on a morphopho…
Analogy, simplification, and the history of French
In traditional studies of historical phonology, there is frequently a division between sound change and analogy. Sound change is said to proceed gradually and inexorably under strictly phonetic conditions; “La règle générale est que les transformations phonétiques s’opèrent avec une constance absolue c’est-à-dire que les mêmes phonèmes placés dans les mêmes conditions, se développent d’une manière identique.” (Schwan-Behrens 1963: 12). Occasional…

Competing analyses of the Vulgar Latin vowel system
The ways in which the vowel system of Vulgar Latin (VL) differs from that of Classical Latin (CL) have been well documented. These differences arise from historical innovations including: (1) the monophthongization of the diphthongs [oj] œ and [aj] œ to [ē] and respectively, (2) the lowering of the short vowels to respectively, and the consequent introduction of a new phonemic degree of vowel height for the front unrounded and back rounded vowels…

Epenthesis in Old French
This paper is structured in the following way: first, certain alternations involving consonantal insertion will be examined in order to motivate a synchronic epenthesis rule for Old French (OF) phonology. After details of this rule and some of its relationships with other rules are fixed, an interesting set of historical changes involving restructuring, analogy, and rule ordering will be investigated in an effort to clarify several complicated in…
On a Morphophonemic Innovation in Old French
Vowel nasalization and the subsequent development of these nasalized vowels constitute one of the most intensively studied areas in French historical phonology. Despite this attention, however, the set of problems associated with these phenomena is not exhausted. I will argue here, for example, that nasalization in French provides evidence for the crucial role of allophonic information (redundant phonetic detail) in initiating and conditioning ph…

Old French Epenthesis Revisited
It is always gratifying when one’s research elicits a response, particularly the detailed discussions by Singh (1980) and Morin (1980) of Walker (1978). It is also clear that both of these authors have contributed to our understanding of the process of epen-thesis in Old French, although I am not convinced that we may yet be confident of having dealt with the process in a fully satisfactory way. The following comments on Singh’s and Morin’s propo…

On a phonological innovation in French
Traditional analyses of French recognize three nasal consonant phonemes /m n ɲ/ appearing in the labial, apical and palatal orders respectively. What is interesting about this situation is that while French contains labial and apical oral stops /p b t d / corresponding to /m/ and /n/, there are no palatal occlusives linked to /ɲ/. Conversely, in the velar order where we find /k/ and /g/, there is no velar nasal representative. Thus, in a widely u…
