A Comprehensive French Grammar (Blackwell Reference Grammars)

by Glanville Price (Author)

Synopsis

Characterized by full explanations and numerous examples, A Comprehensive French Grammar is a clear, well-organized textbook of French grammar designed for advanced students of French language and literature. Derived from L. S. R. Byrne and E. L. Churchill's classic Comprehensive French Grammar (first published in 1950), this book has been a standard comprehensive textbook since its initial publication. The volume has been thoroughly revised and rewritten by Glanville Price and is now completely up-to-date. This fifth edition introduces a number of modifications to points of detail, including references to Rodney Ball's Colloquial French Grammar (Blackwell, 2000) and a list of works likely to be of interest to advanced students of French. It can also be used in conjunction with A French Grammar Workbook by Dulcie Engel, George Evans and Valerie Howells (Blackwell, 1998) to provide a complete learning package for the study of French grammar.

Media Reviews
'Remarkably comprehensive . . . an essential grammar but good for a browse too. Conventional grammar and very much more is covered in meticulous detail.' Times Education Supplement 'Glanville Price has admirably carried out the task he set himself. The most striking revision is the reorganization of material which brings together information previously scattered in two, three or even more places. This is a vast improvement.' French Studies
