Synopsis

This textbook is based on a modified traditional model of structural and functional analysis. Underlying structures and various types of transformations are explained as needed. The analysis deals mainly with phrase and clause structures, including speech registers and questions of usage. Problems raised by discourse syntax are frequently pointed out. Hollerbach describes how the French language operates as a system, cohesive yet evolving. Numerous examples accompany and illustrate each step of explanation and analysis.
