Abstract:

This scholarly edition invites us to reconsider our assumptions about
the French language, by showcasing the oeuvre of one of the pioneers
of diachronic Spoken French corpus linguistics, William J. Ashby, and
the ground-breaking findings to come out of his influential Tours
corpora (1976 & 1995), including two real-time studies appearing
for the first time in English translation. To help readers visualize
just how radically different the morphosyntax, morphophonology, and
semantics of Spoken French are from French-on-the-page, the editor has
developed a glossing framework, designed to capture the systemic,
radically-prefixal morphology of Spoken French and the variability of
change-in-progress. The model, presented here and used to gloss the
examples from the Tours corpus, is also suitable for corpus-tagging.
The volume is organized into sections preceded by an Editor’s note and
followed by suggestions for further reading, and closes with an
appendix of French corpora. This scholarly edition was written for
advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in the field.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics
