The Vocabulary of Modern French
‘Students of the French language will find in this wide-ranging text-book a
mass of information and ideas. Teachers will appreciate its useful exercises
and bibliographies. And there is food for thought here for all those who
wish to improve their understanding of the vagaries and puzzles of the
French vocabulary.’
Theodore Zeldin, St Antony’s College, Oxford
The Vocabulary of Modern French
provides the first comprehensive
overview of French vocabulary today: its historical sources, formal
organisation and social and stylistic functions.
Topics covered include:
•
external influences on the language
•
word formation
•
semantic change
•
style and register
•
the relationship between social and lexical change
•
attempts at intervention in the development of the language
Each chapter is concluded by notes for further reading, and by suggestions
for project work which are designed to increase awareness of specific
lexical phenomena and enable the student-reader to use lexicographic
databases of all kinds.
The Vocabulary of Modern French
is an accessible and fascinating study of
the relationship between a nation and its language, as well as providing a
key text for all students of modern French.
