Abstract:

This book examines the variation found in modern spoken French, based on the
research programme 'Phonology of Contemporary French' (Phonologie du Francais
Contemporain, PFC). Extensive data are drawn from all over the French-speaking
world, including Algeria, Canada, Louisiana, Mauritius, and Switzerland.
Although the principal focus is on differences in pronunciation, the authors
also analyse the spoken language at all levels from sound to meaning. The book
is accompanied by a website hosting audio-visual material for teaching
purposes, data, and a variety of tools for working with corpora. 

The first part of the book outlines some key concepts and approaches to the
description of spoken French. Chapters in Part II are devoted to the study of
individual samples of spoken French from all over the world, covering
phonological and grammatical features as well as lexical and cultural aspects.
The book's companion website provides a class-friendly ready-to-use multimedia
version of these 17 chapters, as well as the sound files and full
transcription for each extract. Part III looks at inter and intra-speaker
variation: it begins with chapters that provide the methodological background
to the study of phonological variation using databases, while in the second
section authors present case studies of a number of PFC survey points,
including Paris, the Central African Republic, and Quebec. Varieties of Spoken
French will be an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, and students
of all aspects of French language and linguistics.
