TEACHING

1. EXPERIMENTAL PHONETICS (MASTER): 12 WEEKS

The central question of this course is: what is experimentation in phonetics? Phonetics can be defined as Rousselot did in 1923 in his opening lesson at the Collège de France: ‘As we understand it today, phonetics is the science of the sounds of language. It is a branch of acoustics, natural, psychological and social sciences. This complexity could only have delayed progress. Phonetics therefore involves the physical, biological, psychological and social aspects of the sounds of human languages’. To explain the phenomena of speech and their variations in the languages of the world we must consider that phonetic systems are open systems and that there is no a priori reason to believe that they are based on a universal inventory of traits or elements. The only real limits are those defined by physics, the morphology of the vocal tract, by constraints on hearing and also those on cognition and the brain.

The course follows the approach initiated by Claude Bernard (1865) for whom the observation of a fact contradicting accepted ideas requires making a hypothesis and an experiment to explain this new fact. The experiment is an observation provoked under determined conditions with a view to checking the hypothesis, which is only an instrument for discovering the truth. Observation and experience alone give knowledge of facts. The ambition must be to answer the how of things and not the why. Claude Bernard also insists on the fragility and the provisional nature of scientific theories. He also distinguished between two main categories of experiences, those produced by nature (Natural experiences – dysfunctions in pathology, lapsus, language games, effects of the alteration of articulators-) and those produced by man in the laboratory. The course also emphasizes the role of statistics and their use in the processing of experimental data.

Some theoretical points developed: notions of threshold in continuous variables, continuous time vs. discrete time (quantal theory); articulatory control (what is its nature?); create disturbances that alter the system to test hypotheses: bite-block, aerodynamic disturbances (leaks, pressure changes).

2. PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ACOUSTIC PHONETICS (MASTER): 12 WEEKS

 

The main topics of this course are devoted to the fundamental aspects of the anatomy and physiology of speech and how the different speech sounds are produced. Topics cover the nervous system, speech muscles, respiration, and phonation. The anatomy of the peripheral and central auditory system is also covered in this course. 

The course is focused on two themes: the physiology and the acoustics of speech sounds. Physiological phonetics studies the role, the function, the mechanical aspects, the physical and biological organization of speech sounds’ components. 

The acoustic aspects deal with the analysis, the source and production of sounds and their influence on the mechanisms of hearing, the perception of pitch and timbre and certain sound illusions.

4. COMPARATIVE PHONETICS OF THE WORLD’S LANGUAGES (BACHELOR 3): 12 WEEKS

 

The course is devoted to study the similarities and differences between the phonetic (and phonological) systems of the world’s languages. The content focuses on a few major questions: 1. how to explain the diversity of phonetic and phonological systems found in different families of  the world’s languages? 2. What are the constraints explaining these differences? 3. How to evaluate and explain the difference in complexity between systems with few segments compared to those with many? 4. How to account for the characteristics of basic, elaborate and complex systems? 5. Are there more allophones in basic systems than in complex systems? 6. How to account for articulatory complexity? These questions are discussed from the examination of the sound systems from languages of different regions of the world: Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Oceania. Some phenomena such as nasality, double articulations, the inventory of vowel systems, phonation types and tonal systems are studied by comparing their realizations in different language families.

5. HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE LINGUISTICS (BACHELOR 3): 12 WEEKS

 

This course is an introduction to historical and comparative linguistics. The general principles are exposed and discussed with concrete examples. Particular emphasis is placed on the study of sound change and its role in the comparative method. In this perspective, the hypothesis of the regularity of sound change proposed by the XIX^th century neogrammarians and its resolution will be studied. Language classification methods are discussed through different examples taken from Indo-European, American, African and Austronesian languages. The contribution of genetics to the classification of languages is approached from recent data to discuss the Bantu expansion and the peopling of the American continent.

6. LABORATORY PHONOLOGY (BETWEEN THE PHYSICS OF SPEECH AND GRAMMAR): 12 WEEKS

 

The objective of this course is to assess how phonological theory is shaped by empirical data. It begins by briefly describing what is meant by laboratory work, outlining the theoretical framework adopted, which follows the lines of the emergent phonology hypothesis proposed by Lindblom (1986, 1990). Phonological issues related to aerodynamic principles relating the shape of the vocal tract to acoustic output, as well as auditory representation and cognition are addressed in different languages. Aspects of Kingston and Diehl's (1994) control theory are also covered in this course.

7. EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE AND SPEECH: 12 WEEKS

 

Many theories have been advanced to deal with the origin and evolution of language. The question of origin is speculative in all sciences whether for the origin of life, of the earth or of the universe, but in any case it is an important subject. Research on the origin and evolution of language tries to gather as much information as possible from genetic data, child development, neuroscience, paleontology, anthropology, comparative psychology, linguistic typology, historical linguistics and computer modelling, to construct as coherent a view as possible of human language and its origin. The term language designates the communication system of the human species, one of the medium of which is speech and the other manual gestures. All communication systems, and this of course includes human language, are the product of an evolution that has continued to this day. In terms of evolution, there is no abrupt discontinuity in principle between human language and animal communication. The aspects of this continuity must obviously be proven and this can only come from a comparative approach of communication between species. A body of evidence can be advanced to account for the evolution of the linguistic capacities of modern man: the evolution of the anatomy of the phonatory apparatus, the diachrony of languages, the evolution of the size of the brain and the genetic basis of language. The foundations of a serious discussion on this subject can already be found in Charles Darwin’s book 'The origin of species' (1859) where he asserted that the best possible classification of languages is to make a sort of genealogical tree of them which goes back in time by indicating the parenthood and origin of the languages that are spoken. Darwin continues and deepen this discussion of the origin of languages in his book: ‘The Descent of Man and Sexual Selection’ (1871) with particular emphasis on the gradual development of language. For Darwin, the very complex and very regular construction of languages suggests that their origin is not due to a special act of creation, they are a product of evolution. The Darwinian approach also raises some important questions. First, the question of function. How to assess language systems in terms of effects for survival and reproduction? What are they doing for the survival of the species? It is important to distinguish between evolutionary adaptation, a genetic characteristic that increases the ability of an organism in its relationship to a given environment, from physiological adaptation or acclimatization, which accounts for temporary changes in the environment of an organism. The biological approach adopted to answer questions related to the origins of language is identical to that of Tinbergen (1952) to explain animal communication systems in ethology. This perspective provides the only comprehensive explanatory approach to communication in the animal kingdom, including human language. Applying these principles to human language, four points emerge: (1) the question of function (2) the question of mechanism: how does a language work? That is, to understand the neurological, physiological and psychological mechanisms that underlie linguistic systems (3) The question of origin from an ontogenetic point of view: determining the genetic and environmental factors that guide the development of linguistic systems and (4) The question of origin from the phylogenetic point of view: how did the system come to be what it is in terms of phylogenesis?

RESEARCH

 

I. Research topics

 

1. Development of experimental methods in phonetics.

 

The objective is the treatment and the study of phenomena which do not yet have a satisfactory description such as the control and regulation of subglottal pressure, the relationship between subglottal pressure and fundamental frequency (f0) and the reasons for the declination about which we still cannot say whether it is controlled or automatic. This theme includes a project on breathing and its control in speech. This involves the development of a new methods and the use of new 3D accelerometers that allow non-invasive measurements of the muscles’ activity involved in respiratory control. Making an aerodynamic database allowing to study all the speech parameters synchronized with the acoustic signal and to perform digital simulations. I also develop research aimed at integrating aspects of the neurological control of the nerves involved in speech phenomena.

On this aspect of my work, I also contributed to restoring old devices, including a portable kymograph from the beginning of the 20th century.

2. Development of the quantal theory in phonetics and phonology. 

 

The extension of this theory, which integrates the production and perception of speech, is made by highlighting the relationships between certain aerodynamic parameters and their acoustic consequences on the production of sounds. I also develop aspects of the quantal theory to explain phonetic changes that are seen as changes of state. New developments in quantal theory: Thresholds in aerodynamic parameters and their consequences on the acoustic output and state changes: s̃ >  θ , x̃ > h in Guarani, bilabial trills, frication, voicing threshold.  Change from alveolar r to uvular R as a quantal change.  Quantal states: discrete information is extracted from the continuous stream of articulatory movements and pressure/flow modulations. Speakers/listeners are sensitive to pressure and flow thresholds and their acoustic consequences. State changes to explain some phonetic changes (! >k, s>h). Development of formalism based on Boolean logic and asynchronous automata for the study of speech (René Thomas).

3. Description of new phenomena in the phonetic and phonological systems of the languages of the world
.   The objective is to observe, describe, measure, quantify, process, compare and explain phonetic and phonological phenomena observed in the languages of the world. Concretely, fieldwork on African and South American languages with the aim of observing and measuring new phenomena with different techniques, to integrate them into models of sound production in the sound systems of human languages. In addition to South American and African languages, this part of the work has recently been extended to European and Asian languages. How to characterize the difference between laboratory speech and spontaneous speech? Evaluate the notion of what is a possible (speech) sound in human communication systems.
Main results and phenomena studied:  

• Phonetics/phonology of Central Sudanic languages, Mangbetu, Efe, Lendu: ATR, implosives, labio-dental flaps, double consonants, tonal schemes, voiceless implosives, voiceless syllables.
• Phonetics/phonology of Karitiana (Tupi) complex nasals, vowel systems, labial feature.
• Ejective consonants, ejective fricatives and MacGurk effect in Amaric.
• Nasal harmony, voiceless nasal fricatives in Guarani (Tupi-Guarani).
• Description of a uvular tap in Kuikuro and Kalapalo (Carib).
• Glottalisation and laryngalisation in Nasa Yuwe, Wanano, Yudja, Karitiana.
• Diphthongs in Mangbetu, Frisian and Brazilian Portuguese.

4. Dynamics of phonological systems.
  Phonological systems can be described using models derived from population ecology where the logistic equation in its different forms (discrete or continuous) is fundamental. In this prespective variation is considered as the norm and not an accidental fact. Therefore, phonological systems are understood as the sound systems of languages spoken by populations of individuals who all carry small variations. Phonological systems are self-organized and generate emergent structures. Sound change accounts for the dynamics of systems. The contribution of animal communication models and in particular those of intelligence and collective patterns (ants, termites) is the input of this the perspective to study phonological systems. The contribution of the dialectology of certain birds and whale societies is compared to the principles of the dialectology of languages. The source, triggering and propagation of sound change are studied through dialect variation. This raises the question of the nature of systems: open or closed? (universal features?); What are the limitations of systems > APIs? What constraints on the form of production and perception systems? Anatomical? Ecological? Consider the phonological systems of language families as basins of attraction. Phonological systems are complex systems but how to evaluate it? A complex system cannot be reduced to the study of its components. Phonology is not separate from the grammar of a language.

5. Evolution of speech and language.
  This part of my research is devoted to the study of the evolution of speech and language in a Darwinian perspective. I seek to highlight the origin and evolution of the sound systems of human languages by comparing them with the communication systems of non-human primates. The general principles of communication with other species, especially birds and cetaceans, are also studied to understand the principles on which, for example, dialectology is based in other communication systems. The main questions are: the evolution of the vocal source; the emergence of vowels in the vocalizations of non-human primates; the anatomical, physiological and acoustic constraints that explain the emergence of consonants and finally how prosody was structured in the communication of primates. The work that I am carrying out in Brazil on the muriqui has made it possible to show that there is a form of elementary grammar and an open system in the communication of this species and which makes it possible to ask some fundamental questions about the origin and evolution of the speech. The evolution of speech from a Darwinian perspective helps to understand the evolution of the source and its control (comparisons with gibbons, horses, certain macaques, muriqui, bonobos and chimpanzees). Evolution of the shape of the vocal tract and its innervation. Origin of vowels form and function of the acoustic filter; consonants by understanding biomechanical and aerodynamic constraints; prosody and f0 control. Emergence of grammatical structure in the communication of certain species: muriqui, whales.
