Speaker 34 year old male
Speaker language use né à Erde; a enseigné 9 ans à la Place, tout en conservant son domicile à Erde; habite depuis 3 ans à Plan-Conthey; parle habituellement le patois avec les gens de la commune; dans presque toutes les familles on parle maintenant français aux enfants
Speaker proficiency La diphtongue œ̀u oscille entre ce son et œ́; eͥ est une voyelle à articulation reculée, dont l’impression acoustique varie entre e et i ou é et œ̇; -ȯ final nettement distinct de -ė. Élément initial de ts, dz un peu affaibli; l tombée laisse parfois un reste d’articulation; nuance particulière de y intervocal qui tend à s’effacer en prenant un caractère interdental (G. note ė le son réduit; cf. col. 52, 183, etc.), voir Mots supplémentaires § 45. Influencé par son séjour dans la région inférieure de la commune, le sujet ne connait plus la déclinaison de l’article, qui est sans cela de règle dans les hameaux supérieurs.
