Le projet international PFC (Phonologie du Français Contemperain)
This is a great site which contains lots of examples of real French from throughout the Francophonie. It is the result of an extensive linguistic study. For most speakers interviewed we're given a location, gender, age, profession, profession of parents, education and lots of other stats which can give us an idea of their socio-economic status and the sort of dialect they're speaking. For each speaker we have transcripts and recordings of a word list (which demonstrates all possible French phonological distinctions), a pre-prepared text which they've been asked to read, a guided conversation with a linguist, and a free conversation with another study participant. This allows us to get an idea of how their speech changes between formal speech (reading a prepared text) and informal (conversation). In fact all of this gives so many opportunities for those interested in French that I couldn't possibly fit them into this post. Elderly architect from Belgium and his details The search page (kinda sucks) There is a companion volume entitled "Les variétés du français parlé dans l'espace francophone" which I've found to be excellent. One part of it is a physical book which contains general descriptions of the different regional dialects. The other part is a DVD with chapters as pdf files in which linguists analyse individual speakers and point out interesting features of their idiolects.
