Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course covers the syntactic description of spoken French, highlighting its specificities.
The course demonstrates the limitations of the models proposed by traditional grammar and structural analysis to show how these limitations have been overcome using models that take into account the structure of spoken language.
The course consists of three parts:
- an introduction to spoken French;
- a presentation of specific syntactic problems and their modeling;
- an introduction to modern treebank encoding and corpus tools.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- explain the concepts and issues investigated during the lessons;
- analyse a specific issue that has not been investigated during the course in a critical and creative way;
- use explicit sample data to elaborate the analysis.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Additional information:
Students prepare a group synthesis question before the exam (detailed instructions provided in class). Each student individually presents the analysis and answers the teacher's questions.
The ability to present clearly and mastery of the subject are required and determine success. Insufficient proficiency in French language or French grammatical analysis (prerequisites) will automatically result in a grade lower than 8/20.
No use of AI is permitted during the oral examination. Students are free to use it critically outside of the examination. If applicable, they must explain how AI was used.
