Designed for students, this detailed analysis of the principal areas
of French grammar combines the insights of modern linguistic theory
with those of more traditional grammarians. Theory is placed firmly in
the service of description and analysis, and students are guided to an
understanding of the French language which will complement the
information offered by traditional reference grammars. The book
includes discussion of verbs and verb phrases, voice, tense and mood,
the noun phrase and pronouns, prepositions and variations in
sentence-structure. The author pays special attention to those areas
of French grammar which pose difficulties for an English-speaking
reader. Each chapter is followed by a set of problems and exercises,
and by a useful guide to further reading. Foundations of French Syntax
assumes no prior knowledge of linguistics, and will appeal to students
and teachers of linguistics, French and other Romance languages.
