摘要

本文研究了瑞士法语话语标记语（DM）体裁的语法化和语音弱化，重点研究了它的鼻音/[/]。通过比较DM与非DM使用时的声学特性，该分析突出了DM体裁明显的语音减少，其特征是低鼻音（A1-P0）和明显的元音高度和后调。研究结果揭示了基于性别的差异，女性说话者通过更明显的语音变化来引领这种变化，反映了语言创新的更广泛的社会语音模式。这些差异与性别和语言变化的既定理论一致。这项研究有助于理解语音缩减作为语法化的标志，并为瑞士法语的社会语音变化提供见解。

Nasalization reduction and grammaticalization of genre in Swiss French: a corpus-based sociophonetic study

This study investigates the grammaticalization and phonological reduction of the discourse marker (DM) genre in Swiss French, focusing on its nasal vowel /ɑ̃/. By comparing its acoustic properties in DM versus non-DM usage, the analysis highlights significant phonological reduction in DM genre, characterized by lower nasality (A1-P0) and distinct vowel height and backness adjustments. The findings reveal gender-based differences, with female speakers leading the change through more pronounced phonetic shifts, reflecting broader sociophonetic patterns of linguistic innovation. These differences align with established theories on gender and language change. This research contributes to understanding phonological reduction as a marker of grammaticalization and offers insights into sociophonetic variation in Swiss French.
