ALOES 2014 – 17th conference of Villetaneuse on spoken English

SPOKEN ENGLISH AND THE MEDIA / L’anglais parlé et les médias

4-5 April 2014
Université Paris 13, Villetaneuse, France.
CRIDAF (E453 - Université Paris 13 –Sorbonne Paris Cité)


Guest Speaker: Jane STUART-SMITH, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
Our guest speaker, Jane Stuart-Smith, is a Reader in English Language and Director of the Glasgow University Laboratory of Phonetics. She is the author of a number of articles on: variation and change in Glaswegian accent, the impact of the broadcast media (television) on language variation and change, the sociophonetics of British Asian accents, the phonetics and phonology of British varieties of Panjabi, the acquisition of literacy in Punjabi/English bilingual children, historical linguistics and sound-change. She is author of Phonetics and Philology: Sound Change in Italic (OUP 2004), co-editor of The Edinburgh Companion to Scots (2003) (with J. Corbett and J.D. McClure), and was the English phonetics editor for the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary (1994). She is currently writing a monograph on the influence of the media on language change: Mediating the local: The role of television for a changing urban vernacular, Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics, OUP.

Call for Papers:

An object of distortion, caricature and even mockery, English spoken in the media will be the main theme of the 2014 edition of our international conference on Spoken English. We invite contributions on different aspects of English as spoken in the media, like, amongst others, journalistic verbal tics, the choice of tonic syllables, the use of gimmicks or of particular prosodic patterns. Variation is also an interesting topic: inter- and intra-speaker variation can be dealt with. Do all presenters speak the same way or do they favour individual particular features? Variation according to journalistic styles can also be taken into consideration: do newsreaders and sport journalists use the same intonation patterns? Speech rate and rhythm are certainly different according to the situation. Can differences be found between TV and radio broadcasts? Is it possible to talk of typical TV prosody for example? The new media newscast, podcast, webcast could be analysed in various ways too. Diachronic studies will also be considered, for instance studies showing the evolution of the accent heard on the radio: is it still possible to talk of a ‘BBC’ accent today?

Papers dealing with the influence of the media on spoken English will also be welcome: does the English spoken in the media play a part in the phenomenon of levelling and the attrition of marked variants or, on the contrary, does the diversity of accents heard nowadays favour counter levelling?

These aspects are by no means exhaustive, and all related issues or approaches that can shed light on the topic will be considered.

The theme has been selected at least for the first day of the conference. There is however a possibility to make proposals dealing with other topics. Each talk will last thirty minutes followed by ten minutes for discussion. Posters will also be considered.

A selection of papers will be considered for publication.

A pre-conference workshop will be held in Paris Diderot on April 3rd about the NECTE corpus (http://research.ncl.ac.uk/necte/) and the talk of the Toon project (http://research.ncl.ac.uk/decte/toon/).

Conférencière invitée : Jane STUART-SMITH, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
Notre invitée d’honneur, Jane Stuart-Smith, enseigne la langue anglaise et dirige le laboratoire de phonétique de l’université de Glasgow (the Glasgow University Laboratory of Phonetics). Elle est l’auteur de nombreux articles sur variation et changement dans l’accent de Glasgow, l’impact de la télévision sur la variation et le changement, la sociophonétique des accents britanniques asiatiques, la phonétique et la phonologie des variétés britanniques pendjabi, l’acquisition des systèmes graphiques chez les enfants bilingues pendjabi/anglais, la linguistique historique et le changement phonétique. Elle est l’auteur de Phonetics and Philology: Sound Change in Italic (OUP 2004), co-éditrice de The Edinburgh Companion to Scots (2003) (en collaboration avec J. Corbett et J.D. McClure), et a supervisé la partie phonétique anglaise du dictionnaire Hachette & Oxford (1994). Elle rédige actuellement une monographie sur l’influence des médias dans le changement langagier : Mediating the local: The role of television for a changing urban vernacular, Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics, OUP.

Appel à communications :

Enjeu de toutes les caricatures et moqueries, l’anglais tel qu’on le parle dans les médias sera le thème principal de notre 17ème colloque d’avril sur l’anglais oral. Nous accepterons des contributions traitant de différents aspects de l’anglais parlé dans les médias comme par exemple les tics journalistiques à l’oral, les choix de syllabes toniques, l’utilisation de gimmicks ou de schémas prosodiques particuliers. La variation, à la fois inter- et intra-locuteur, pourra également faire l’objet d’analyses. Les locuteurs s’expriment-ils tous de la même façon ou usent-ils de stratégies individuelles ? La variation liée aux différents types de discours journalistiques pourra aussi être analysée : les présentateurs de journaux et les journalistes sportifs ont-ils recours aux mêmes intonations ? Le débit et le rythme sont certainement très différents en fonction des situations d’élocution. Peut-on trouver des différences entre le style télévisé et le style radiophonique ? Peut-on parler d’une intonation typique de la télé par exemple ? Les nouveaux médias newscast, podcast, webcast pourront aussi faire l’objet d’analyses diverses. Des études diachroniques montrant par exemple l’évolution des accents que l’on entend à la radio seront également appréciées : est-il encore possible aujourd’hui de parler de l’accent de la BBC ?

Des propositions traitant de l’influence des médias sur l’anglais oral seront aussi les bienvenues : l’anglais des médias joue-t-il un rôle dans le phénomène de levelling par exemple, ou bien au contraire est-ce que la diversité des accents entendus de nos jours favorise le counter-levelling ?

Tous ces aspects ne sont pas exhaustifs et d’autres approches pourront bien entendu être envisagées.

Le thème a été retenu pour la première journée au moins. Il est toutefois possible de proposer des communications hors thème. Chaque exposé durera 30 minutes et sera suivi de 10 minutes de discussion. Des communications affichées (posters) seront également envisagées.

Une sélection des communications sera proposée pour publication.


Un atelier se tiendra la veille du colloque à Paris Diderot sur le corpus de sociolinguistique urbaine NECTE-DECTE (http://research.ncl.ac.uk/necte/) et sur sa dissémination et son exploitation dans les médias (http://research.ncl.ac.uk/decte/toon/)


Date de soumission : 31 Décembre 2013
