Sommario/riassunto |
|
Using an original mode of presentation, the ‘textbite’, this book seeks to approach the French vocabulary from as many angles as possible - showing how French words are constructed, the difficulties inherent in defining a word, the relationships words enter into, their origins, and recent trends in word formation. Examples and exercises are provided throughout. |
