The individual entries have been carefully designed to carry the basic linguistic information required and then develop into a wider consideration of the social and cultural context within which the specific words and phrases are used in current French. As this title is supposed to be used in conjunction with and not instead of a dictionary, it also offers a brief list of recommended reading ranging from standard dictionaries to introductory works on French society and institutions."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Linguistics: Bloomsbury Academic CollectionsEnglish languageParonymsDictionariesFrenchFrench languageParonymsDictionariesEnglishlinguisticsEnglish languageParonymsFrench.French languageParonymsEnglish.443.21Thody Philip Malcolm Waller1928-221050Evans HowardRees GwilymUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910797872403321Faux amis and key words3720208UNINA
