On peut distinguer la diversité entre les langues et la variation à l’intérieur des langues, la variation soulevant assez vite la question de la norme. On peut distinguer au moins deux types de normes : une norme statistique, établie par des faits quantifiables, et une norme prescriptive, formation culturelle constituée de choix sociaux. En l’absen...
Occitan and French are two Gallo-Romance languages that have been in a diglossic situation in Southern France for centuries. Couched in an Autosegmental-Metrical framework, the present thesis analyzes the prosody of Occitan-French bilinguals in their two languages, as compared to that of Northern French monolinguals or bilinguals whose Occitan is i...

This article invest...
Occitan and French are two Gallo-Romance languages that have been in a diglossic situation in southern France for centuries. This close contact has led to interference at all levels, including prosody. This chapter presents results from a research project on prosodic structure and intonation in this contact situation. On one hand, Occitan has adopt...
This chapter describes the intonation of the variety of Catalan spoken in Northern Catalonia.
This paper examines the intonation of statements of the obvious in two varieties in narrow contact, Occitan and Southern French. They are contrasted with Northern French that has developed independently. As a consequence of intense contact, conservative Southern French speakers use the same rising-falling nuclear configuration as in Occitan, wherea...

En catalan central, en catalan des Îles Baléares et en occitan languedocien, le sort de ce /s/ dépend principalement de son contexte droit : c’est la consonne suivante qui peut déclencher une modification de l...
