Example text
The normal stress in French, though real, is in fact barely perceptible. 2 Normal stress is indicated in phonetic script by placing [ ] before the stressed syllable. : Je pars de main / c par dc mh/ Où va- t-il? g. je l’ai vu | pendant les va cances /le va ke:s /, but les vacances d’é té /le vakes de te/. 7), this is a factor of crucial importance in determining whether or not a vowel is long. e. that each syllable, whatever its degree of stress, takes up more or less the same amount of time, whereas English is a stress-timed language.
7 below. , and the first vowel of celui, crever, depuis, premier, etc. It is otherwise known as ‘neutral e’ or, in French, ‘e caduc’, ‘e instable’ or ‘e féminin’. None of these terms is wholly satisfactory and the only reason we retain that of ‘mute e’ (which refers to the fact that, in circumstances to be discussed in chapter 11, it is not pronounced) is that it is probably the most widely used in English. 2 The symbol for mute e is [c].

This assumption in fact oversimplifies things somewhat, as even the division of an utterance into sentences is not without its difficulties – but that need not concern us here. A more serious problem arises when we attempt to subdivide the sentence. 1 The problem is very considerably complicated by the fact that we could take into account at least three different types of subdivision, each of which would produce what we The Rhythmic Group 37 shall call ‘groups’, and that the groups arrived at on one basis may or may not coincide with those arrived at on one or more of the other bases.
