Résumé

In the vast body of literature related to French schwa
behavior, prosodic factors are sometimes mentioned, but
never systematically studied. This paper proposes to
investigate how the topological organization of a sequence
influences schwa behavior. The empirical base for this study
is extracted from the PFC (Phonologie du Français
Contemporain) corpus where 20 speakers have been
systematically coded for prosodic elements. In addition to
obvious geographical differences, we show a clear distinction
between so-called optional schwas in monosyllables and in
polysyllables. This contrast will impact on the phonological
analysis, favoring two distinct underlying representations.
