Rowlett P. The Syntax of French

Cambridge University Press, 2007. — 268 p. — (Cambridge Syntax Guides). — ISBN-10: 0521835321, ISBN-13: 978-0521835329This book has two distinct but related goals: broad description and selected theoretical depth. On the one hand, it provides a concise, empirical overview of the syntax of Modern French for the benefit of linguists unfamiliar with the language. While it doesn’t rely on readers having any particular theoretical background, it does assume familiarity with traditional grammatical terminology.List of abbreviations and symbolsLexical categories
