Abstract/Summary

L’objectif de l’étude est de mieux cerner les particularités acoustiques de la prosodie d’enfants porteurs du SW de langue maternelle anglaise et de langue maternelle française. Des productions spontanées ont été recueillies à l’aide de la tâche de narration « Grenouille, où es-tu ? » (Mayer, 1969). La prosodie des enfants SW est comparée à celle de deux groupes typiques, un de même âge chronologique et un de même âge développemental que le groupe avec SW La population se compose de 1. 7 enfants SW de langue française âgés entre 6 ans et 13 ans 7 mois, appariés à deux groupes typiques et 2. 13 enfants SW de langue anglaise âgés entre 6 ans et 13 ans 11 mois, appariés à deux groupes typiques. Notre analyse porte sur un paramètre acoustique de la prosodie des enfants avec SW : la Variation de la Fréquence Fondamentale. Les résultats sont discutés sur les points suivants : 1. les différences et similitudes entre les profils prosodiques des enfants avec SW et des enfants typiques de même âge chronologique ou développemental, en langue anglaise et en langue française, 2. les différences entre les enfants avec SWde langue maternelle anglaise et les enfants avec SWde langue maternelle française et 3. le développement prosodique observé chez les enfants avec SW.

Additional Information	English translation of Title & Abstract: Prosody in Williams Syndrome: an interlinguistic study The purpose of this study was to investigate acoustic specificities of prosody in French-speaking and English-speaking children with Williams syndrome. Spontaneous productions based on a narrative task “Frog, Where Are You?” (Mayer, 1969) are analysed. Our study compared prosody in children with WS with two typically-developing groups, one matched on chronological age and one on developmental age. Participants were 7 French-speaking children with WS aged 6 to 13 years 7 months, and 13 English-speaking children with WS aged 6 to 13 years 11 months. Our analysis focused on the acoustic parameter of Fundamental Frequency Variation. Results discuss the following issues: 1. differences and similarities between prosodic profiles of French-speaking and English-speaking children with WS and typically-developing children, 2. differences between French-speaking and English-speaking children with WS and 3. prosodic development in children with WS.
