"The Vocabulary of Modern French" provides a lively and
comprehensive overview of the vocabulary of contemporary French:
its historical sources, formal organization and social and
stylistic functions. The author examines both the relation between
social and lexical change, and attempts to intervene in the
development of the French language, as well as covering external
influences on the language, word formation, semantic change, and
style and register. Each chapter is concluded with notes for
further reading and suggestions for project work, specifically
designed to increase awareness of lexical phenomena, and enable the
student-reader to use lexicographic databases of all kinds. A
detailed index directs the reader to initial definitions of key
concepts, and makes for ease of reference to recurring topics. "The
Vocabulary of" "Modern French" will be a key text for all students
of modern French.
