Usage notes
edit
Not to be confused with
de travers
,
en travers
or
au travers de
.
Like most French terms ending in -rs,
à travers
does not form phonological
liaison
with subsequent vowel-initial words; instead,
enchaînement
occurs with the
/ʁ/
:
à travers
/a tʁa.vɛʁ/
à travers un champ
/a.tʁa.vɛ.ʁ‿œ̃ ʃɑ̃/
(across a field)
