ABSTRACT French is a language spoken by hundreds of millions of speakers in Europe, Africa, and America. Such widespread use favours variation, yet large homogeneous corpora allowing to account for this variation worldwide are scarce and would in any case necessitate non-negligeable financial and human resources, as did for instance the project Phonologie du Français Contemporain.
