La réalisation phonique des mots en début d’apprentissage de langues secondes

Abstract

This contribution aims at defining the learner varieties of the phonological component of a second language, correlating them to the development of morphology and syntax. The forms of the Polish words found in the output of the learners of the VILLA project with Italian as the first language after fourteen hours of exposure to a controlled input, are considered with respect to their (allo)phonic dispersion. The reduction of the phonetic instability is related to the establishment of a pre-phonological structure of the learner variety. The reduction of the syllabic instability anticipates the establishment of a pre-morphological structure as in post-basic varieties. The investigation of the phonetic component allows a more precise definition of the variety of L2 Polish of the VILLA learners with respect to the Basic Variety.
