Abstract

The Autosegmental-Metric theory, the dominant one in the past decades, defines the prosodic structure of a statement as a non-recursive hierarchical organization (or partly recursive). I propose here to address the prosodic description of the Romance languages in a different theoretical perspective, allowing among other things to show the phonological similarity between different systems including the French one, often presented as the ugly duckling in the Romance group because of the absence of lexical accent in that language
