Abstract(s) :
(Anglais) This paper provides a comparative gestural account of nasal vowels in Southern French (Marseille) and in Belgian French (Tournai). Timing measurements based on acoustic data confirm a different temporal organisation of the gestures between the two dialects. We also report on statistical comparisons between phonetic events (such as duration of the SF ‘nasal appendix’ vs. duration of a typical nasal consonant, duration of the oral consonant following an oral vs. a nasal vowel...) that help to confront competing hypotheses concerning the underlying phonological representation of SF nasal vowels.
