This article aims to explain the optional gemination in the elided form of the French 3 p. object pronouns le and la, i.e. before vowel, as in [ʒəllɛvy] for je l’ai vu(e) ‘I saw him/her/it’. This geminate, which cannot be accounted for in purely phonological terms, is shown to follow from a boundary shift within the morphological sequence /il + lə/la +V/, providing the 3 p. object pronouns with a new geminate allomorph before vowel; thereby, /ll/ can spread to the entire paradigm. It is argued (a) that the resulting allomorphy is the strategy found by speakers to eliminate the irregular allomorphy of the 3 p. subject pronoun il before consonant; (b) that a perception grammar is needed to capture the reasons for the new allomorphy.

Je ll'ai vu：法语驱动的感知驱动的同构优化

本文旨在解释法国3 p的隐藏形式中的可选宝石。宾语的代词“ le”和“ la”，即在元音之前，如je l'ai vu（e）中的“ saw”。该萌芽无法用纯语音学来解释，显示为遵循形态序列/ il +lə/ la + V /内的边界移动，提供3 p。元音前具有新的同构异形的宾语代词；因此，/ ll /可以扩展到整个范式。有人认为（a）结果同构是说话者发现的消除3 p不规则同构的策略。辅音之前的主语代词；（b）需要一种感知语法来捕捉新同种异体的原因。
