International audience ; This paper, mainly devoted to the French hypocoristic formations, offers a Strict CV account for word minimality. It argues that the shape of the truncated forms can be analyzed without appeal to any prosodic hierarchy. The template which the truncated forms use minimally consists of two CV units, which correspond to the minimal domain where Proper Government applies, hence the Minimal Word. In line with previous studies, prosodic weight is viewed as function of the number of vocalic positions each form contains. Moreover, it is claimed that complex onsets may contribute to weight, provided that their second consonant contains a closure element: obstruent+lateral behaves as a genuine cluster which enclose a metrically-active V position, while obstruent+rhotic forms one single segment. In support of the proposed analysis, a brief account for the structure of Tashlhiyt Berber hypocoristics is provided.

This thesis is dedicated to the study of some aspects of the verbal morphology of Berber within the framework of government phonology. It contributes to the study of the architecture of templates. It aims at demonstrating that the squeletal level of the phonological representations has an autonomous and independent morphological activity from the segmental level and argues in favor of the existence of templatic sites where particular morphological operations take place. The idea of the existence of this type of sites was used to analyse two main phenomena in the verbal morphology of the Berber dialect of Agadir: it serves, first of all, for explaining the way the mechanism of gemination applies to the imperfective verbs composed of two or three consonants. It is used then, to report the variation of the size of the causative and reciprocal morphemes as well as in their behavior towards the harmony of "anteriority" and the dissimilation of "labiality". ; Cette thèse est une contribution à l'étude de l'architecture des gabarits. Elle est consacrée à l'analyse de quelques aspects de la morphologie verbale du berbère (Parler chleuh d'Agadir), dans le cadre de la phonologie autosegmentale, et plus particulièrement, dans le cadre de la phonologie du gouvernement. Elle s'inscrit dans un programme scientifique qui vise à démontrer que le niveau squelettal des représentations phonologiques possède une activité morphologique autonome et indépendante et argumente en faveur de l'existence de sites gabaritiques qui sont le siège d'opérations morphologiques particulières. L'hypothèse de l'existence de ce type de sites a été mise en oeuvre dans l'étude de deux aspects principaux de la morphologie verbale du parler chleuh d'Agadir: - Elle a, tout d'abord, servi à expliquer la manière dont le mécanisme de gémination affecte les verbes en CC et CCC, au thème de l'inaccompli. Elle a ensuite été employée pour rendre compte de la variation de la taille des morphèmes du causatif et du réciproque ainsi que leur comportement vis-à-vis de l'harmonie d'antériorité et de la dissimilation de labialité.
