- Abstract
- The goal of this paper is to shed new light on the accentuation in French, more precisely to discuss the role of grammatical constraints and of phonetic factors implied in the perception of French final and non final accent. The study is based on the analysis of a 70-minute long corpus, including various speaking styles. The corpus has been annotated manually and automatically for prominence detection and tagged semiautomatically for grammatical categories. We first describe the rate of accentuation for each grammatical category (discussing the notion of “clitic” in French) and then discuss the divergences between the manual and automatic prominence detection, in relation with the phonological structure.
