La mise en regard de données d'anglais et de deux langues à tons d'Extrême-Orient (naxi et vietnamien) montre un partage des ressources entre spécifications lexicales (oppositions phonémiques, et accentuation) et intonation : les premières fournissent le cadre dans lequel la variation intonative prend son sens. Au plan typologique, chaque langue offrirait à l'énonciateur un certain degré de liberté ; le naxi (4 tons) apparaît plus contraint que l'anglais, et que le vietnamien (qui pourtant possède 6 tons). Les expériences menées (qui comportent une évaluation de la qualité de voix par électroglottographie) paraissent faire ressortir la superposition de plusieurs phénomènes. Elles permettent d'aborder une question soulevée par le courant autosegmental-métrique d'études intonatives : accentuation et intonation concourent-elles à une unique séquence tonale pour l'énoncé (cela dans toutes les langues) ? Il semblerait que ce dernier point de vue ne permette pas de rendre compte des faits rencontrés.

Comment est-ce que les villes anciennes parviennent à se réinséser dans des ensembles urbains？Quels roles les diverses populations en présence jouent-elles dans les phénomènes de recomposition de ces espaces locaux？Est-ce qu’il n’y a que une route de development au monde qui s’appelle mondialisation？C’est à questions sensibles que s’efforce de répondre ce thèse en proposant une analyse minutieuse des multiples processus qui est fonçonné, au cour des dernières vingtaine ans en Chine, la transformation de culture et tradition du Lijiang, situé dans la province de Yunnan, à la marge en Chine. En retraçant ainsi au fil du temps la vie de ce lieu et ses habitants, ce thèse veut entraine dans l’histoire récente en Chine, en meme temps métider la route de development local et le concept de ‘développement’.À la fin, c’est mon analysis sur la base de cette recherche comparative. La réforme et l’ouverture sur le monde extérieur sont exéculté depuis 1978 en Chine, le gouverment s’efforce de developer l’économie. La façon de protéger héritage culture est devenu de plus en plus la manière de developer l’économie. En autre mot, c’est la technique de development dans les lieux locaux et une partie de modernisation (ou mondialisation). Après la guerre mondiale secondaire, modernisation est une trendence principal au monde, par ce thèse, je veux réfléchir sur cette processus de modernisation à nouveau, et analyse la route divisitaire de dévelopment sur la base de les environnements differents. Aujourd’hui, si nous voulons etre inscrits au patrimoine mondial, en un sens, ce n’est pas pour bien le protèger, mais pour profiter de cet honneur et d’un outil pour développer l’économie. Apres etre inscrit au patrimoine mondial, le gouvernement locale a des raisons de demander le support financier au gouvernement central et il a aussi des chances d’attirer les capitaux étrangers pour améliorer les constructions principales. / Lijiang old Town is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, one of the Naxi settlements. Historically, the ancestors of the Naxi and Tibetan, Han, Yi, Bai and other ethnic have lived together in peace, forming its own unique ecological view, and nourishing their own national character, which makes the town own its unspeakable intangible charm in the long history. In 1997, Lijiang Old Town was in the World Heritage List and enters the fast development track. As the result of economic development, the local Naxi culture gradually changes, for example, the ancient city’s commercial atmosphere increasing strong, the outside population coming, the Naxi language usage among the younger generations becoming less and less, the essence of the Dongba culture to be overlooked etc. Based on the above facts, the author tries to explore the Lijiang Old Town as a case from the perspective of the “anthropology of development”. Through collecting data on the basis of the field, compared with the Old City of Lyon, France, the author criticizes the modernist view of development and the excessive use of tools of cultural heritage, highlights our "development" view and cultural heritage awareness bias. The author believes that "development" should be multiple semantics, not just economic growth, including local knowledge. Fading out the cultural heritage as a tool to develop local economy and we should protect the heritage authenticity and integrity, respect different cultures and traditions, and then achieve scientific development and build a harmonious society. Based on the above understanding, the author from the perspective of subjective and objective explores the main viewpoints. Besides the introduction and conclusion, the paper consists of three major parts: In the first part, the author places the town of Lijiang in the scope of a long period of time and space, tracing its history through several important development stages: Tea Horse Road period, the anti-Japanese period in the Second World War and after the inscription. In contrast to the development of the past and today, the author shows some differences from the original Ancient Town’s life to today’s commercial city. In the process, the ancient city has changes from community to modern society, the traditional Naxi culture gradually lost. The second part explores different thoughts on the changes of this Old Town of Lijiang from the ethnographic perspective. Mainly through the interview to a family history of the Naxi and three generations’ oral storytelling who have lived in the ancient city, as well as city managers, Naxi scholars, community workers in Lijiang Old Town, young Naxi generation, ordinary residents, outsiders, and the author own field experiences and feelings, the author tries to show different understandings of the whole changes from the outside to the inside of Lijiang old Town. On this basis, the author reinterpreted the stereotype of the ancient Naxi people. In the third part, the author presents the deviation of understanding of the cultural heritage’s protection and development by comparing Lyon Old Town in France. From the “ anthropology of development”, the paper reflects the tool behavior and misunderstanding in the progress of developing and protecting our country’s old city, that is to say, development means not only developing local economy but also protecting tradition culture and customs, etc.
