The acquisition of French intonation by American learners.
Ramsey, Laurie Anne.

The acquisition of French intonation by American learners. - 256 p.

Director: Albert Valdman.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 1996.

Second language acquisition research has produced valuable evidence of how learners acquire various syntactic, phonological, and semantic structures, but it has provided less information about how intonation is acquired. Intonation is important since rises and falls in voice pitch can identify the type of utterance which a speaker is producing and can render a voice expressive with such qualities as irony or anger. In order for speakers' utterances to be interpreted correctly, their intonation must be mutually intelligible. This dissertation addresses how French intonation sounds, and how native and nonnative speakers' intonational patterns differ.

520 $a Second language acquisition research has produced valuable evidence of how learners acquire various syntactic, phonological, and semantic structures, but it has provided less information about how intonation is acquired. Intonation is important since rises and falls in voice pitch can identify the type of utterance which a speaker is producing and can render a voice expressive with such qualities as irony or anger. In order for speakers' utterances to be interpreted correctly, their intonation must be mutually intelligible. This dissertation addresses how French intonation sounds, and how native and nonnative speakers' intonational patterns differ.
520 $a In a cross-sectional study of twelve native speakers, seventeen beginning learners, and eighteen advanced learners, the subjects were given three tape-recorded tasks: a dialogue to read aloud, a picture description, and a conversation. In a quantitative and qualitative analysis, the results showed that (1) native speakers of French generally produce falls at the end of declarative sentences and information questions and rises at the end of yes/no questions. Contours in the middle of sentences tend to rise. Many final and medial contours are multi-directional or "complex." (2) Beginning learners produce more native-like contours at the end of sentences than in the middle, and they are especially proficient at producing rises at the end of yes/no questions. Many of the contours, however, do not resemble French or English intonational patterns. (3) Advanced learners show progress in the acquisition of French intonation. Some of the indications of progress are an increase in the number of contours which match native patterns, a decrease in the number of nonnative contours, and a stabilization in the types of contours produced. In other words, the advanced learners' intonation in certain sentences varies less than the beginners' intonation in those same sentences.
520 $a The final chapter includes a section on the pedagogical applications of this study and an extensive review of materials currently available to teachers who wish to present intonation in the classroom. Suggestions are offered for improvements in the treatment of intonation so that teachers of French may profit from this research.
