Maîtrise phonétique du français langue étrangère chez les enseignants non-natifs : Décalage entre connaissances théoriques et prononciation effective
Phonetic mastery of French as a foreign language in non-native teachers: Gap between theoretical knowledge and actual pronunciation
Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie, UMR7018, CNRS et Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, France
Cette étude acoustico-perceptive traite de la possibilité de prononcer le français langue étrangère de manière native lorsque son apprentissage débute tardivement. Dix tchécophones, étudiant le français à l’université afin de devenir enseignantes, produisent six voyelles moyennes du français en contexte isolé /ø, œ, o, ɔ, e, ɛ/. L’analyse des formants montre que malgré des connaissances approfondies sur la phonologie du français que toutes les locutrices détiennent, ils existent de grandes variations individuelles dans la réalisation des contrastes entre e/ɛ, ø/œ et o/ɔ. L’identification des voyelles par des auditeurs français natifs montre qu’aucune locutrice ne maîtrise toutes les six qualités vocaliques de manière native. Le rôle des enseignants, traditionnellement supposés être des modèles parfaits, est alors remis en question.
Abstract
This acoustic-perceptual study discusses the possibility of pronouncing French as a foreign language in a native-like manner when its learning starts late. Ten Czech women, studying French at university in order to become teachers, produce six French mid vowels /ø, œ, o, ɔ, e, ɛ/ in isolation. A formant analysis shows that despite deep knowledge of the French phonology that all speakers hold, there are large inter-individual differences in the realization of the contrasts e/ɛ, ø/œ and o/ɔ. The identification of the vowels by native French listeners shows that no speaker masters all the six vowel qualitites in a native-like manner. The role of L2-teachers, traditionally supposed to be perfect models, is therefore called into question.
