Abstract
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Prosodic Structuring and the Syntax-Prosody Relationship in Political Speech Studies on the prosodic structure of French recognize the existence of different types of prosodic constituents. These constituents differ from each other in the way in which they are constructed and realized. Generally speaking, prosodic structure is sensitive to syntactic structure and influenced by the syntax – despite the difference between prosodic and syntactic constituency. In listening to political speeches, one cannot help but notice the division of the stream of speech produced by its speakers; it differs markedly from what is expected, especially with respect to both the matching conditions with syntactic structure and the shape of the contours. The present paper is a systematic study of chunking produced in a political speech by Jacques Chirac. The goal is twofold: First, to uncover the factors intervening in the construction of the prosodic constituents and second, to determine the ways in which they resemble or differ from established assumptions pertaining to standard French.

Malgré tout, ces constituants, différents des constituants syntaxiques, se construisent à partir de contraintes spécifiant les modalités d’appariement avec la structure syntaxique. A l’écoute de certains discours politiques, cependant, on ne peut qu’être frappé par les découpages produits : ils diffèrent en effet souvent de ce qui est attendu si on se réfère aux règles qui régissent leur construction et à la forme des contours terminaux. Notre but ici est d’étudier systématiquement les découpages prosodiques observés dans un discours politique de Jacques Chirac, afin de déterminer quels principes interviennent dans la construction des constituants, et ce qui les distinguent ou les rapprochent des principes du français standard.

KEYWORDS : prosodic structure, prosody-syntax interface, variation and phono-style 1 Introduction Les découpages prosodiques et la forme des contours terminaux jouent un rôle essentiel dans l’interprétation des énoncés puisqu’ils donnent accès à la structure syntaxique. Les frontières des constituants prosodiques, qui coïncident souvent avec des frontières d’unités syntaxiques, facilitent la reconstruction de la structure syntaxique en permettant 9 de regrouper correctement les éléments syntaxiquement dépendants (cf., sur ce point, l’exemple sous (1), où les découpages indiquent comment interpréter l’item ferme). (1) a. (la belle) (ferme le voile) où ferme est un verbe ayant pour sujet la belle. b. (la belle ferme) (le voile) où ferme est un nom, sujet du verbe voiler. La forme des contours indique pour sa part les modalités d’attachement des syntagmes ajouts et la hiérarchisation entre constituants, grâce …
