French Grammar in Contextvi

This book developed from collaborative work undertaken some years ago under the auspices of the Association for French Language Studies Grammar Initiative. We gratefully acknowledge the impetus and support given to our work by AFLS. We are also grateful to Lesley Riddle of Edward Arnold for helping us to refocus and extend our earlier work with a view to publication, and to an unidentified reader selected by Edward Arnold for commenting on a first draft of the present work. In producing the original three AFLS Brochures Grammaire, we worked with two colleagues, Carol Chapman of the University of Liverpool, and the late Geneviève Wilkinson of the University of Hull. Every effort has been made to trace and acknowledge the owners of copyright. The publishers will be glad to make suitable arrangements with any copyright holders whom it has not been possible to contact.

This book is intended for intermediate and more advanced students of French, both those approaching the end of high-school or secondary education and those in their first or second year at university, who need to consolidate and extend their knowledge of French grammar and to develop their ability to use this knowledge in speech and writing. Unlike a reference grammar, it does not aim to be exhaustive in its coverage. Instead, it focuses on key areas of grammar, selected both for their perceived usefulness and for the difficulties which they often cause the

Anglophone student.

The starting point is always an authentic text, chosen for its intrinsic interest no less than for its richness as a source of examples of grammar in context. In the analysis which follows the text, the function and form of the relevant grammar topic are first explored as seen in the text, before commentary on further important points, including any significant divergences of practice between different registers both in writing and in speech. Page references to the relevant sections of five standard reference grammars are provided, so that students may seek further information as they require. Cross-references are also made to relevant sections of other grammar units more about X, should be studied before the student attempts any of the exercises which follow. The exercises continue the emphasis on grammar in context by including a considerable proportion of text-based exercises and also some communicative activities and translation exercises. A key is provided to all the exercises, except for the more open-ended communicative ones, so that students may use the book for private study. However, there is ample scope for the book to be used also in class. For example, each text naturally contains examples of other grammar points apart from the main point which it has been chosen to illustrate. Accordingly, a detailed listing of the further grammatical features of each text is provided as guidance for teachers, so that they may exploit the material in different ways. The revision texts at the end of the book provide students with an opportunity to integrate the work which they have done in the preceding units. First, a series of analysis questions exploits the fact that each text contains examples of many different grammatical features. Students are required to demonstrate their understanding by providing their own commentary on highlightedquotesdbs_dbs7.pdfusesText_5
