This new history of the French language allows the reader to see
how the language has evolved for themselves. It combines texts and
extracts with a readable and detailed commentary allowing the
language to be viewed both synchronically and diachronically. Core
texts range from the ninth century to the present day highlight
central features of the language, whilst a range of shorter texts
illustrate particular points. The inclusion of non-literary, as
well as literary texts serves to illustrate some of the many
varieties of French whether in legal, scientific, epistolatory,
administrative or liturgical or in more popular domains, including
attempts to represent spoken usage. This is essential reading for
the undergraduate student of French.
