Histoire De La Langue
This volume fills a definite need; a text, written in French, which covers the essentials of the history of the language in a manner that is neither too technical nor too simplistic. (Jurgen Klausenburger, University of WashingtonModern Language Review)...a very well conceived presentation of the history of French language. (Jurgen Klausenburger, University of WashingtonThe French Review)...complete treatment, excellent examples, clear and concise explanations of the terminology for students who have had neither Latin nor linguistics. The need for such a text designated for American students has existed for some time; I expect that this volume will fill that need. (Jeffrey T. Chamberlain, George Mason UniversityThe French Review)M. deserves credit for venturing to fill an acknowledged gap in the material available for teaching the history of French to American students. (Jeffrey T. Chamberlain, George Mason UniversityRomance Philology)...this is an extremely useful, no-nonsense book. Whether the topic is the phenomenon of language, Bartsch's Law, or a syntactical feature, it is expressed in very clear, easily understandable terms, ideal for the beginner. It should make a very welcome addition to the canon of philological texts for undergraduates. (Modern Language Review)...this is an extremely useful, no-nonsense book.
