A Dictionary of French Connectors

Dictionary of Contemporary French Connectorsis the first French-English dictionary to focus on this fascinating and crucial part of the language. French as a language is particularly reliant on connectors: connecting words and phrases are essential for discussion, clarity and fluency. The nearly 200 full entries--presented here in alphabetical order--define, discuss and exemplify the whole range of connecting language. 2,000 examples add further clarity and are chosen from a wide range of registers and mainly contemporary prose. Its emphasis on function makes the dictionary the ideal reference for translators, teachers and students alike.
