This paper presents an acoustic study which contributes to depicting the acoustic cues of Mandarin Chinese tones in whispered speech. By analysing modifications of the acoustic properties of the vowel /a/, we have found a correlation between the duration of vocalic segments and tones, in both normal and whispered voice. The durational differences among vowels which carry different tones are more noticable in whispered voice than in normal voice. In addition, while observing intensity and formants trajectories, we have uncovered a curve pattern which highlights the relationship between tones, intensity and formants trajectories in whispered speech. This pattern suggests that vowel intensity and formants may carry tonal information in a coordinated manner.

Linguistique informatique et linguistique diachronique : une alliance nécessaire

Xavier Blanco

Langue: FR | Date de publication: 10-11-2021 | Résumé | p. 1-21

In this paper, we will try to show how formal linguistics applied to the study of diachrony can be a fundamental asset for research (and consequently also for teaching at a university level) in the field of French language and literature. We will treat successively the analysis of the support verbs (§2), the realization verbs (§3), the intensity collocations (§4) and the pragmatically restricted clichés (§5). In each section, we will present and discuss numerous examples in medieval French accompanied by their published translations into contemporary French.

Les locutions adverbiales figées: étude des fonctions primaires

Lassâad Oueslati

Langue: FR | Date de publication: 31-12-2011 | Résumé | p. 66-83

The theory of object classes holds that every elementary sentence is inevitably constituted by elements which make this sentence acceptable. Each element has a function called a primary function. There are three such functions: predicate, argument and actualizer. These three functions can be realized by all the simple and compound, free and fixed syntactical categories. In this article we will show that the fixed adverbial sequences much as other syntactic categories can have primary
functions.
