Abstract

This article, based on a French oral corpus, discusses the standing and the interpretation of some vocalic false starts. It recaps the characteristics of false starts and presents the spoken data on which this study is grounded. It details the false starts in the corpus that begin with a vowel in order to draw some conclusions about their form, focusing on the differences between what would be expected and a few discrepancies. The analysis starts from the auditors' perception and proposes an interpretation of the effects of morphophonological constraints.
