Abstract(s) :
(Anglais) This study addresses invariance and variability in the production of the 5 Thai tones based on acoustic data. The F0 curves globally confirm those obtained previously in the literature, although from a larger corpus and number of speakers. The ratio of intertones to intra-tones variability was computed using F de Snedecor. Results show that F is maximal in the median portion of long vowels and the last portion of short vowels, which suggests that the mora might be the tone bearing unit (TBU) in standard Thai.
