"This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the French language from the perspective of modern linguistics. Placing French within its social and historical context, the authors illuminate the complex and diverse aspects of the language in a lively and accessible way. A variety of topics is covered, including the historical development of Standard French, the sound system of French, its word-formation and sentence patterns and its stylistic and geographical varieties." "Fully updated and revised, the book has been made more user-friendly by the inclusion of the following new features: a further reading guide at the end of each chapter; a glossary of linguistic terms; and an expanded bibliography and index."--Jacket
