Abstract:

This paper analyzes some cases of functional substitution of one nasal vowel with another in spoken French, as well as in some variants of French, spoken outside the territory of France. The reasons of generating the substitution at phonetic and phonological level (subsegmental and segmental) are studied. Attention is also drawn to the extra-phonetic factors leading to the manifestation of the process under consideration.
