The influence of metrical constraints on direct imitation across French varieties

Résumé

Recent studies have investigated phonetic and phonological direct dialect imitation in intonation, though no study has yet explored metrical convergence. In this study we therefore test the assumption that speakers of standard French can mimic the metrical properties of a Southern French variety, having a different foot structure, by inserting a schwa either in word-final or in word-medial position. In line with our hypothesis, Standard French speakers were able to produce a greater number of schwas in the Imitation phase, with the result of inserting a weak syllable. Moreover, the effect was stronger word-medially, which we explain through a phonological constraint preventing a left headed foot to appear in word-final position.
