A Reference Grammar of French
A Reference Grammar of French is a lively, wide-ranging and
original handbook on the structure of the French language. It
includes new information on register, pronunciation, gender,
number, foreign words (Latin, Arabic, English, Spanish,
Italian), adjectives and past participles used as nouns, texting,
word order, frequency of occurrence of words, and usage with
all geographical names. e not only from France,
but also from Quebec, Belgium and Switzerland. Readers will
appreciate the initial passages illustrating the grammatical
features of a given chapter. Also included is a user-friendly
introduction to the French language, from its Latin origins to
modern times. A full glossary explains any terms that might
confuse the less experienced reader, and the index leads the
student through the detailed labyrinth of grammatical
features. This handbook will be an invaluable resource for
students and teachers who want to perfect their knowledge of
all aspects of French grammar.
