My doctoral thesis, defended in December 2022, focuses on the representation of the alveolar trill to better understand its distribution in the languages of the world. The trill is examined through the prism of its representation in transcriptions, acoustics, grammars and phonemic databases. Data from the Illustrations of the IPA published in the Journal of the International Phonetic Association, sound recordings accompanying the Illustrations, the Sound Comparisons collaborative project, over 600 books describing languages and PHOIBLE were collected. The various observations obtained from the data show that, like rhotics, trill varies. The acoustic data suggest that the characterisation of what is generally labelled as a trill in the languages of the world is not unique, although similarities in segmental substance exist between languages. The results of the various analyses of the languages studied support the idea that the realisation of the trill as a segment with (at least) two contacts is not frequent, unlike tap and flap. The development of the International Phonetic Alphabet and its guidelines, as well as the training of linguists, has contributed to the over-representation of r. The results show that trill is an infrequent allophone for most languages, which tends to complicate the classification of languages according to the presence or absence of the segment.
