Longman Linguistics LibraryGeneral Editors:Geoffrey Horrocks, University of CambridgeDavid Denison, University of ManchesterProblems and Perspectives: Studies in the Modern French Language looks at a number of interesting or problematic areas in the phonology, morphology, syntax and lexis of the French language and encourages the reader to think critically about different ways of approaching, describing and explaining these issues or data.The book is divided into two parts: the first section is a preliminary to, and contextualises, the discussion of the more specialised topics of the second part. Part two presents problematic and controversial areas in the description and analysis of the contemporary language. Where appropriate historical and sociolinguistic issues are also integrated into the discussion of modern French.Aimed primarily at advanced students and researchers in French linguistics, the introductory sections of part one also make this book accessible to undergraduates beginning their study of French linguistics, and to less specialised readers.Wendy Ayres-Bennett is a Reader in French Philology and Linguistics at the University of Cambridge, Janice Carruthers is a Lecturer in French at the Queen's University of Belfast and Rosalind Temple is a Lecturer in French Language and Linguistics at the University of York.

Industry Reviews

Ayres-Bennett's historical interest in the French language is exploited, for example, in the discussion of the past tenses and the book, integral to graduate-studies reading lists, responds to the need for a closer examination of morphosyntax.'"Reviews"
