Analyse linguistique de la langue franaise

About this book

Analyse linguistique de la langue franaise provides a complete examination of the French language in French at a level appropriate for non-native speakers and non-linguists. It introduces readers to linguistic analysis using modern French as its target of study and covering the linguistic subfields of phonetics phonology morphology syntax and semantics. It provides self-check questions and could easily be used for self-learning by an individual or by students in a classroom setting. Analyse linguistique strives to present all concepts from the bottom up assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics and includes a glossary of terms to aid non-linguists. It is these elements that distinguish it from other books in the field which are often written for native speakers and are sometimes inaccessible to students of the language or which assume a background in linguistics that not all readers have. In addition the book includes exercises placed strategically throughout each chapter which allow the reader to verify his/her comprehension of each concept before moving on to the next topic.
