Advanced French Grammar
This reference grammar, written for advanced students of French, their teachers,
and others who want to improve their understanding of the French language,
combines the best of modern and traditional approaches. Its objective is not only
practical mastery of the language, but familiarity with its structure.Taking into
account modern linguistic research, the
Grammar
approaches the French language
primarily through the study of syntactic structures, but without excessive
emphasis on formalism. It provides a generous number of examples, based on
the author’s own experience of teaching French to foreigners, to help the student
to understand the different meanings of apparently similar syntactic alternatives.
The norms of ‘correct expression’ are given, together with current usage and
deviations, and appendixes provide information on the 1990 spelling reforms and
on numbers. A substantial index of French and English words and of topics
provides easy access to the text itself.
