• Resumen

  • Field observations of the way Tunisian females and males pronounce the letter "r" when they speak or read French show a significant difference between the two sexes.

    On the one hand, Tunisian females tend to use the so-called Parisian accent when they pronounce the letter "r" in the French language. On the other hand, a significant majority of Tunisian males are inclined to roll their "r" when they speak or read French.

    Attempt is made in this study to identify the psycho-social factors which are behind this peculiar linguistic phenomenon. These factors have proven helpful in outlining a social science theoretical framework relevant both to the understanding äs well äs to the explanation of the phenomenon in question.
