Abrégé de Phonétique Historique

The Abrégé provides an introduction to the evolution of French, from Latin to the end of the Old French period, presented by syllabic position rather than by individual vowels and consonants. It builds on the achievements of the field's century-old tradition (from Bourciez to Straka), but also engages the developments of modern phonology, notably on syllabic structure and autosegmental representations.
