Summary/Abstract: Linguistic speech shows prosody patterns; three parameters describe thegrammar of a language: objective time imposed by a common calendar,subjective time tamed into a syllabic matrix and thetime set in thegrammatical metalanguage of a given language. The differences betweenlanguages are defined in the statement as period of speech (or text) inwhich grammatical categories acquire theirmeaning. Deviations incorpora of non-expert speakers show intonation patterns that highlight,bydefault, universal syntactic structures in the grammar of uncontrolledtongue. We then propose acategorization of enunciation constructions(TPE) to explain the productive or improductiveinterferences betweenlanguages and to build alternative and flexible grammatical models basedontraditionnal TMA concepts.
