Phénomènes prosodiques de constituants “appartenant
au fond” autour de deux constituants distingués : le focus et la portée de seulement
Résumé
This study investigates the prosodic realization of three-syllable constituents belonging to the ground in the
vicinity of constituents semantically distinguished in two ways : either focalized or in the scope of the
adverb “only”. Fundamental frequency (Fo) and duration values show that the realizations of the end of
these constituents is significantly dependent on the presence or absence of a distinguished constituent
immediately following. The realization of its initial and medial parts are more subject to variation but these
are not necessarily dephrased.
