Résumé
The aim of this study is to investigate the use of pauses in political speech and see if there is substantial variation in the use of silences according to the type of speech. This study aims at examining whether the use and the characteristics of pauses vary depending on the type of debate. Our hypothesis is that politicians adapt the rhythm of their speech production, according to the kind of debate. To illustrate this, we chose to study silences in François Hollande’s speech production, first during the Socialist primary debate in 2011 against Martine Aubry, and then in a normal speech situation during the pre-election speech at Le Bourget. Thus, both programs of François Hollande’s speech production were transcribed. We examined the speaker’s posture, we identified silences and silence duration was quantified using Praat software. Other parameters (like articulation rate, number of syllables per rhythmic group, ...), were also quantified to observe variation in rhythm. The results of the study helped highlight significant differences in the use of pauses in François Hollande’s speech production. Indeed, the strategy differs depending on the type of communication. Thus, pauses increase, especially emphasis pauses, both in number and in length in François Hollande’s speech at Le Bourget.
