Subject:  Final lengthening/segmental duration in Belgian French

Dear linguists,

I would be interested in any pointers people might have to any
research on segmental duration/prosody which has considered
Belgian French.

My question arises from a recent experiment I conducted
investigating segmental duration in lists. I recorded a speaker
from Nothern France and a francophone speaker from Belgium. The
French speaker realises initial accents with lengthening of the
syllable onset, and final accents with lengthening of the
syllable rhyme. This behaviour tallies with lengthening
behaviour previously reported (Astésano). However, the
Belgian speaker consistently realises final accents with a
lengthening of both onset and rhyme. I was wondering if this
behaviour had been previously noted -- in particular, I
am interested in knowing whether Belgian speakers realise
final accents in this way generally, or whether it might be
a specific property of the list context.

With thanks,
Neil Coffey

Dear LINGUIST members,
I am interested in the Chinese characters created and/or modified
by Japanese and Korean people, and are not considered as "true original"
Chinese.
I would be grateful if you point us to any work on this topic
(whether written in Chinese, English, French, Spanish or any language).
Please reply directly to me at:
