National audienceLike every late L2-learner, French native speakers are characterized by a foreign accent. The literature emphasizes that the vowels /ɪ/, /ʌ/ and /æ/ in particular are pronounced “à la française”. This study presents the acoustic parameters of the English vowels /ɪ/, /i:/, /æ/, /ʌ/ and /ɑ:/ produced by 38 native English speakers and 48 French learners of English compared to those of the French vowels /a/, /e/, /i/ et /oe/ produced by the same learners. The results first show more variability in the L2 compared to L1 productions. Furthermore, we observe a great confusion between categories in L2 for the /i: - ɪ/ contrast and the opposite effect in the region of the [a]. We show that L2 learners did produce duration contrasts ...
