Hi again,
In my previous email, I stated that in Canadian French the /I/ allophone
occurs only in closed syllables. However, as I have been reminded, I
should have said that it "mainly" occurs in that context, since /I/ for
/i/ is obligatory in stressed closed syllables but it can optionally,
and for some speakers only, occur in unstressed open syllables by a
process of vowel harmony. For instance, a form like 'civil' can be
produced [sivIl] or [sIvIl] (for details, see Denis Dumas 'Structure de
la diphtongaison québécoise' Canadian Journal of Linguistics
26:1-61)

Apologies for my mistake.

Paola Escudero
