French Grammar in Context

(lu) #1

This book developed from collaborative work undertaken some years ago under the auspices of
the Association for French Language Studies Grammar Initiative. We gratefully acknowledge the
impetus and support given to our work by AFLS. We are also grateful to Lesley Riddle of Edward
Arnold for helping us to refocus and extend our earlier work with a view to publication, and to
an unidentified reader selected by Edward Arnold for commenting on a first draft of the present
work. In producing the original three AFLS Brochures Grammaire, we worked with two
colleagues, Carol Chapman of the University of Liverpool, and the late Geneviève Wilkinson of
the University of Hull.


Every effort has been made to trace and acknowledge the owners of copyright. The publishers
will be glad to make suitable arrangements with any copyright holders whom it has not been
possible to contact.
