Resumen
The paper gives an account of stress phenomena in two languages with fixed stress (French -final primary stress-, Czech -initial stress-). The prosodic analysis of a bilingual corpus (read speech) leads to a conclusion that the three parameters (duration, F0 and intensity) show intriguingly similar behaviour in the two languages, despite the expected rhythmic differences. Acoustic correlates of stress being either ambiguous or instable in French and Czech, we propose a new, multiparametric and configurative vision of stress (and prosodic segmentation in general), based on global prosodic patterns throughout the stress unit. Among these, we detected isochrony (more pronounced in Czech), final lengthening (more pronounced in French), group-initial low tones and groupfinal high tones (except for final stress units), as well as a falling or rising-falling intensity pattern.
