Description

A Grammar of Spoken and Written French offers a new and authentic approach to French grammar. Based on a representative collection of texts, it covers the full breadth and depth of present-day French. Rather than considering grammatical phenomena in isolation, it takes full account of the ways in which they combine with lexical items and are used in real text.A Grammar of Spoken and Written French is a stand-alone grammar for learning, reference and practice and is intended for students whose command of the language has reached level B1 of the Common European Framework. It takes the tried and tested model of a grammar that provides examples and rules and supplements it with a lexical component. For most grammar patterns, it starts by covering the set(s) of lexical items found in each pattern, sometimes grouping items by topic; this is usually followed by examples illustrating the interplay of vocabulary and grammar; finally, where appropriate, a rule is formulated that follows logically from the examples given. All the French examples come from a large body of authentic texts (usually called 'a corpus'), a practice which breaks with the tradition of all previous French grammars for learners which contrive examples for the purpose of teaching the language rather than using carefully selected specimens of contemporary usage. For ease of comprehension, most examples have been translated into English. In addition, translation is regularly used to compare English and French patterns with a view to highlighting interlingual difference and preventing interference - an extra benefit of translation being that users of this grammar will acquire a great deal of new vocabulary en passant. Although designed as a learner's grammar, the Grammar of Spoken and Written French also breaks some new ground in the linguistic description of French. A Grammar of Spoken and Written French relies on an empirical norm which encompasses the selections attested in a large variety of texts over a considerable length of time. It thus departs somewhat from the traditional French view that only the best authors can serve as normative models.
