Si la recherche considère traditionnellement le français comme une langue monocentrique, de récentes études portant sur les normes (de prononciation) en Suisse et au Québec remettent actuellement cette affirmation en question. Dans cet ouvrage, la pluralité des normes de prononciation est abordée pour la première fois pour trois régions différentes et sur la base d'une combinaison de trois méthodes. Le cas de Paris en tant que traditionnel centre de la francophonie est comparé à ceux des « périphéries » québécoise et suisse romande sur la base d'une analyse des productions de 60 journalistes-présentateurs, considérés comme des locuteurs-modèles, combinée à des tests de perception et une enquête par questionnaires sur les représentations de 288 informateurs non experts. Les résultats montrent que si, en Europe, il est difficile de considérer l'existence d'une norme de prononciation suisse romande stable parallèle à celle de Paris, l'indépendance recrudescente d'un nouveau centre normatif québécois sur le continent américain est indéniable. Ces résultats remettent en cause la présumée « exception sociolinguistique » du français et impliquent une redéfinition du concept de norme de référence dans un sens pluricentrique. This volume deals with the plurality of French pronunciation norms from a panfrancophone perspective. Using linguistic productions from model speakers, as well as perceptions and representations from non-expert informants, it compares the traditional Parisian norm to the Swiss and Quebecois norms. Results show a bicentric trend with two dominant norms in Europe (Paris) and North America (Quebec).

The question of how to classify the different varieties of spoken Arabic is a long-standing problem in the fields of Arabic and Semitic linguistics, and it has been addressed by several authors and from a number of different perspectives. This collection of articles represents a further contribution to the vast collective effort of attempting to more effectively assess, organize, and understand the varieties of spoken Arabic, applying a classification of Arabic dialects in the broadest possible sense. The authors who contribute to this volume tackle this issue by examining varieties spoken from the Maghreb to the Mashreq and employing various approaches and perspectives, e.g., diatopic and diachronic, syntactical, and typological.

This Special Issue includes fifteen original state-of-the-art research articles from leading scholars that examine cross-linguistic influence in bilingual speech. These experimental studies contribute to the growing number of studies on multilingual phonetics and phonology by introducing novel empirical data collection techniques, sophisticated methodologies, and acoustic analyses, while also presenting findings that provide robust theoretical implications to a variety of subfields, such as L2 acquisition, L3 acquisition, laboratory phonology, acoustic phonetics, psycholinguistics, sociophonetics, blingualism, and language contact. These studies in this book further elucidate the nature of phonetic interactions in the context of bilingualism and multilingualism and outline future directions in multilingual phonetics and phonology research.
