The book investigates historical patterns of vowel diphthongization, assimilation and dissimilation induced by consonants – mostly (alveolo)palatals – in Romance. Compiling data from dialectal descriptions, old documentary sources and experimental phonetic studies, it explains why certain vowels undergo raising assimilation before (alveolo)palatal consonants more than others. It also suggests that in French, Francoprovençal, Occitan, Rhaetoromance and dialects from northern Italy, mid low vowel diphthongization before (alveolo)palatal consonants started out with the formation of non-canonical falling diphthongs through off-glide insertion, from which rising diphthongs could emerge at a later date (e.g., Upper Engadinian OCTO ‘eight’ > [ɔc] > [ɔ(ə̯)c] > [wac]). Both diphthongal types, rather than canonical falling diphthongs with a palatal off-glide, could also give rise to high vowels (dialectal French [li] < LECTU, [fuj] < FOLIA). This same Gallo-Romance diphthongization process operated in Catalan ([ʎit], [ˈfuʎə]). In Spanish, on the other hand, mid low vowels followed by highly constrained (alveolo)palatals became too close to undergo the diphthongization process ([ˈletʃo], [ˈoxa]).

The origins of sound change is one of the oldest and most challenging questions in the study of language. The goal of this volume is to examine current approaches to sound change from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, including articulatory variation and modeling, speech perception mechanisms and neurobiological processes, geographical and social variation, and diachronic phonology. This diversity of perspectives contributes to a fruitful cross-fertilization across disciplines and represents an attempt to formulate converging ideas on the factors that lead to sound chan

Ces nouveaux territoires ne se limitent pas à des critères purement thématiques, mais ils embrassent à la fois la diversité linguistique et surtout explorent les formes qu'investit actuellement le discours poétique. Le Centre d'Études et de Recherches sur la Péninsule Ibérique (CERPI / ERILAR de l'université Rennes 2) en faisant appel aux francisants, italianistes et Iusistes entend comparer les différentes pratiques qui constituent la spécificité du lyrisme contemporain. Les questions centrales qui ont dominé les débats portent sur les nouvelles contraintes formelles – qui n'ont pas fait disparaître totalement le "vers classique" –, sur les liens entre poésie et plasticité, sur les rapports que le sujet lyrique entretient avec l'Histoire et surtout sur la nature de la voix poématique. Les analyses s'appuient sur des exemples précis, en particulier les œuvres de D. Fourcade, G. Ungaretti, O. Paz, J. Sites, J. A Valente, A. Gamoneda, A. Amorôs et offrent des outils aux enseignants et aux étudiants pour aborder la poésie contemporaine.
