Résumé

Phonetic changes generally affect assimilated etymons in Afro-American languages. The topic of this paper is to compare in a synchronic perspective the transformations from English to Jamaican, an English Lexicon Based Creole (ELBC) and from French to Martinican, a French Lexicon Based Creole (FLBC). A contrastive approach of these changes on the lexicon can point out specificities of syllables in Creole languages from Jamaica and Martinique. Similar but not identical, reduction of consonantic groups is quasi-systematic in Jamaican and Martinican, no matter what position they have in lexical items : initial, final or mid-position. From european etymons to Jamaican or Martinican, lexical items are not simplified as it was said before but re-shapped on a different pattern, confirming that it is a syllabic re-structuration, a general open bisyllabic tendency based on open syllable.
