How to Learn French in 30 Days
This book will make you learn FRENCH in just 30 days, from scratch.And this is more than just a simple promise. I explain to you... The method is very simple: the book is divided into 30 chapters, one for each day, to allow you to learn the basics of this language in just one month. To get the most from this course, you just have to follow a rule: read one chapter a day, no more, no less. If you respect this rule and follow the instructions contained in the book, the result is guaranteed.Forget the usual boring grammar courses, having an anonymous and depersonalized profile. HOW TO LEARN FRENCH IN 30 DAYS has been conceived with all of the trimmings of self-help, as a practical manual, being as personal, fun and motivating as possible. It is full of curious anecdotes and useful advice not only to speak FRENCH, but also to get by on the road.If you are still not convinced, keep reading ... From the author's introduction ... The aim of this volume is to guarantee you the basic principles to follow in situations of "ordinary madness", when you are in a French-speaking country. To be precise, I should perhaps say French, as the Francophony includes countries which are very different from each other for linguistic and cultural variations ... this is anyway a topic we will deal with further on.How many times have you happened to improvise a word when eating in a restaurant abroad?Maybe you didn't even know what you were ordering ...Well, it also occurs to the best. So, let's see how to give free rein to our creativity with some more knowledge.This course works very simply. The only thing you need to do is to read one lesson a day. As you can see from the abstract, all topics are shared into 30 units. The length I have chosen to deal with each topic follows this line, indeed, so as not to overwhelm you with too much superfluous information. We will address the main grammatical topics with a fun method that is based on daily situations of communication.As you progress on this path, feel free to go back and review those topics that will seem less clear for you. For further in-depth studies and explanations, Internet offers a myriad of resources for free. I suggest you to choose the most reliable sources, for example some well-known dictionary, thanks to which you may learn the specific use of a word and its context of use (...).Would you like to ask a coffee in a caf矇 parisien without hesitation? Or order a dish in a typical bistrot without incurring unpleasant inconveniences? Or just ask where the toilette is? Here, then you have chosen the book that's right for you!
The expression of collectivity in Romance languages
While previous research on collective nouns in Romance languages mostly adopts a semasiological and theoretical perspective focusing mainly on one single language, the present study takes an onomasiological and comparative approach which is strongly based on empirical evidence. Against this background and in analogy to the verbal domain, the work elaborates further the functional category of nominal aspectuality which describes the construal of extra-linguistic entities as well as the linguistic means reflecting it. In this sense, collective nouns are systematically compared with other (nominal) means of expression of collectivity in French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, focusing especially on object mass nouns, which have hardly been studied so far for Romance languages. On the basis of corpus analyses and acceptability judgement studies, a holistic picture is thus drawn of the semantic-syntactic and derivational properties of various noun types in the synchrony of present-day language as well as of the diachronic lexicalisation paths of these very nouns. The work thus contributes to the understanding of the verbalisation of pluralities by linking and complementing previous monodimensional approaches and, above all, by placing them on a broad empirical basis.
