Johan Verhoeven 3 : Phonetic characteristics of Foreign Accent Syndrome.

Troisième séminaire de Johan Verhoeven (City University of London), dans le cadre de la Chaire Internationale 2024 du Labex EFL.
Abstract :
This lecture will discuss the phonetic characteristics of Foreign Accent Syndrome on the basis of an exhaustive inventory of all the patients with FAS that have been reported so far. The collected evidence reveals that FAS correlates with clear changes in articulatory setting towards fortition (in some speakers) or lenition (in others). It will be discussed how some of these phonetic characteristics can be used to distinguish clinically between different types of FAS.
