Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- show a good grasp of phonetics and phonology;
- describe the French phonetic system and its peculiarities;
- identify and comment on salient aspects of oral French, based on concrete utterances;
- carry out an accurate phonetic transcription (A.P.I.) of words and short sentences from standard French;
- show that they have reached linguistic skills in French corresponding to B1 level of CEFR.

Program

Introduction to French phonetics and phonology.

The following topics will be dealt with:

• Oral and written codes in contemporary French
• The notions of phones and phonemes
• The International Phonetic Alphabet (I.P.A.)
• The organs of phonation
• Articulatory features of French vowels and consonants
• French/Italian phonetic systems: a contrastive approach
• The main phonetic laws: accentuation, syllabification, syllabic division and structure, complementary distribution
• Orthoepic issues: e caduc and liaison
• Phonetic transcription of words and short sentences from French
• Some phonology notions: oppositive values and distinctive features
• Co-articulation issues: physiological and psychological aspects
• Accentuation, pauses and rhythm in utterances
• Intonation: syntactical and discursive aspects
• Variation in oral French: individual (idiolects), diatopical (regiolects) and diastratical (sociolects) aspects

The course will be given in Italian.

The course will include complementary activities, given by Chiara Mazzocato: 12 hours of class work and 24 hours of tutorial. The class work will largely consist of exercises in phonetic transcription. The hours of tutorials will be devoted to responding to students’ questions on the syllabus to be prepared for the examination.

Examination Methods

The exam will be in written form and it will be marked out of 30. The test aims at ascertaining that the notions discussed during the course have been acquired. The exam will be divided into a theoretical part (with multiple-choice questions, all in Italian) and a phonetic transcription part (A.P.I.) of short sentences from French.

The exam will be the same for all the students, whether they followed the course or not. In all cases, attendance at all classes and complementary activities is strongly recommended, in particular to acquire skills in phonetic transcription.

Language skills: French B2.

Language skills will be validated with a certificate delivered by CLA (Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo) or by an organization authorized by MIUR.


*****

L’épreuve d’examen sera écrite et sera notée sur trente. L’épreuve vise à vérifier l’acquisition des notions présentées pendant le cours ; elle se compose d’une partie théorique (avec des questions à choix multiple, toutes en langue italienne) et une partie de transcription phonétique (A.P.I.) de courtes phrases du français.

L’épreuve sera la même pour ceux qui suivent et ceux qui ne suivent pas le cours. Toutefois, la présence en cours et aux activités « complémentaires » est fortement conseillée, surtout pour ce qui concerne la partie de transcription phonétique.

Niveau de compétence requis : français B1.

Le niveau de compétence sera validé sur la base des attestations du CLA (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo) ou d'une organisation reconnue par le Ministère italien de l’Éducation, de l’Université et la Recherche (MIUR).

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
