Discours, diachronie, stylistique du français
Ce recueil d'articles rend hommage au travail du professeur Bernard Combettes qui oeuvre depuis quarante ans au développement de la linguistique française. Tous ces articles relèvent de domaines de recherche auxquels Bernard Combettes s'est intéressé et qu'il a largement contribué à enrichir. Les contributions de ce volume sont réunies en trois parties. La première, intitulée « de la phrase au discours » propose des études de linguistique de corpus et aborde des sujets aussi variés que la ponctuation, la progression thématique à partir de corpus oraux, la macrosyntaxe de la phrase, ou la cataphore par exemple. La deuxième partie, intitulée « diachronie du français », axe son objet d'étude plus volontiers en histoire de la langue. Se côtoient des études sur la grammaticalisation, les prépositions, la place de l'objet, les constructions « topicalisées » ainsi que les locutions verbales. Enfin la troisième partie est consacrée à l'étude stylistique et didactique du français. On y trouve des recherches sur les adverbes en -ment, les « moyens d'expression » ou bien encore les « objets internes ».
La description
Réputée mal aimée des élèves, la description est pourtant un objet d'enseignement important. Elle continue cependant à susciter des problèmes de lecture et d'écriture récurrents. Pour cette raison, l'auteur souhaite ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives, en s'appuyant d'abord sur les théories les plus récentes, pour montrer l'importance sociale et transdisciplinaire de la description.
The Oxford Handbook of the French Language
This volume provides the first comprehensive reference work in English on the French language in all its facets. It offers a wide-ranging approach to the rich, varied, and exciting research across multiple subfields, with seven broad thematic sections covering the structures of French; the history of French; axes of variation; French around the world; French in contact with other languages; second language acquisition; and French in literature, culture, arts, and the media. Each chapter presents the state of the art and directs readers to canonical studies and essential works, while also exploring cutting-edge research and outlining future directions.

Grammaticalization and Pragmatics
Deals with pragmatic factors involved in the evolution of grammatical or lexical forms or in the emergence of complex syntactic structures in various languages (Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian and Spanish).
Syntactic Change in French
This book provides the most comprehensive and detailed formal account to date of the evolution of French syntax. It covers syntactic variation and change across all periods of French, and in standard and non-standard varieties, and explores phenomena such as subject positions and null subjects, verb movement, object placement, and negation.
Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French
This volume brings together two particularly dynamic areas of contemporary research on the French language. The chapters showcase the most innovative current scholarship in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and in the burgeoning field of historical sociolinguistics which lies at their intersection. The research across the volume is strongly data-centred, drawing on a wide range of both well-established and more novel theoretical and methodological approaches in order to open up new perspectives on the study of the French language in the twenty-first century. Although it is written in English, the work presented here is underpinned by a range of different approaches from across the Francophone and Anglophone worlds. Particular emphasis is placed on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, on diversifying tools, methods, and objects of inquiry, and on adopting comparative and multilingual perspectives where these shed new light on important questions relating to French. In these ways, Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French highlights some of the most exciting new directions for linguistic research on the French language.
The Paradox of Grammatical Change
Recent years have seen intense debates between formal (generative) and functional linguists, particularly with respect to the relation between grammar and usage. This debate is directly relevant to diachronic linguistics, where one and the same phenomenon of language change can be explained from various theoretical perspectives. In this, a close look at the divergent and/or convergent evolution of a richly documented language family such as Romance promises to be useful. The basic problem for any approach to language change is what Eugenio Coseriu has termed the paradox of change: if synchronically, languages can be viewed as perfectly running systems, then there is no reason why they should change in the first place. And yet, as everyone knows, languages are changing constantly. In nine case studies, a number of renowned scholars of Romance linguistics address the explanation of grammatical change either within a broadly generative or a functional framework.
