Aspects of Modern English Usage: for advanced studentsPar son étude détaillée des difficultés - en particulier celles traitées trop sommairement ailleurs - cet ouvrage offre un complément utile aux grammaires traditionnelles. Parmi ses caractéristiques, citons : - une comparaison de chaque élément étudié avec toutes les alternatives possibles; - de nombreux exemples commentés et souvent traduits; - une indication systématique de la fréquence et du registre (formel, informel) des formes proposées; - une étude des divergences entre l'anglais et le français (un index spécial en facilite l'accès); - outre la partie "structurelle", purement grammaticale, une part de l'ouvrage traite en profondeur des principales fonctions langagières. |
