Reviews

This new book is an excellent introduction to the history of the French language from its Latin origins to the present... Because of the communicative nature of the exercises that accompany each chapter, [this book] can be used in language courses, culture and civilization courses, as well as in more specialized phonetics or linguistics courses. Needless to say, this thoughtful and well-designed book is a great addition to the field of French studies. -- Andrzej Dziedzic, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh This book is an excellent addition to the study of the French language. The author gives brief descriptions of the historical periods in its development, including the recent abbreviations used in French text messages. It is a must for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in French and for others [who share] a passion for the language. -- Lois Vines Ph. D., Professor of French; distinguished teaching professor at Ohio University

La langue francaise a travers les siecles is more than just a linguistic study of the language. It links the vast domains of language and culture, history and literature, in order to give a full and accurate account of the historical developments that occurred during a particular time in history. Elegantly written in a user-friendly and easy-to-understand style, and supplemented by illustrations, charts, and maps, the book is accessible to intermediate students, as well as advanced students. It can be used in French phonetics courses, or in culture and civilization courses. Last, but not least, it will be of interest to anyone interested in the evolution of the French language from its Latin origins to the twenty-first century.
