	French Writing and Morphology
		French language sentence structure is similar to English in that both languages use a Subject-Verb-Object formation.
		In French, the direct object is marked by a lack of preposition, while the indirect object is marked by the presence of a preposition.
		Since many verb forms are pronounced exactly the same way (despite their different spelling) personal pronouns are useful to understand the meaning of what one says.

		French (French: français) is the third of the Romance languages in terms of number of speakers, after Spanish and Portuguese.
		For the history of the French language, the most important of these groups are the Franks in northern France, the Alemanni in the German/French french language border, the Burgundians in the Rhone valley and the Visigoths in the Aquitaine region french and indian war and Spain.
		The earliest extant text in French is the Oaths of Strasbourg from 842; Old French became a literary language with the chansons de geste that told tales french beach women of the paladins of Charlemagne and the heroes of the Crusades.

		In this course, which introduces morphology from the perspective of the structure of French, we will be concerned both with basic questions that must be answered in any theory (such as the elusive definitions of morpheme and word) and with the various approaches to morphology taken within Generative Linguistics in the last 25 years.
		Among the questions particular to French that we will investigate are the structure of verb endings and the role of the paradigm (inflectional morphology), the status of the feminine desinence (inflection and derivation), the building up of words from roo ts and suffixes or prefixes (derivation, e.g.
		Because issues in generative morphology interact so crucially with bo th syntactic and phonological theory, the course affords an opportunity for students to solidify their understanding of generative theory as a whole.

	French verb morphology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In French, a verb is inflected to reflect its mood and tense, as well as to agree with its subject in person and number.
		In parlaient, the stem parl- indicates that the verb is parler (to speak) and the ending -aient marks the third-person plural imperfect indicative.
		Verb boire, imperfect indicative : je buvais, tu buvais, il buvait, nous buvions, vous buviez, ils buvaient.

		I call psychological morphology the diagram of the transformations according to the absorption and the transmission, of the energies in the object from its initial aspect until it reaches its final form in the geodesic psychological medium*.
		So, the diagram of the idea of a snow ball thrown on a flame shall be a splitting in two without deformation*, whereas the emotional libido awakened by a river or a tree shall be expressed by an osmotic growth in the geodesic psychological medium, true gelatin of blood stained milk in periodic precipitate.

		Each of the areas we treat will reveal a significant overlap between morphology proper and either phonology or syntax or both, so that a major issue for morphologists is to define the space of morphology in the grammar.

	Morphology
		It is in their morphology that we most clearly see the differences between languages that are isolating (such as Chinese, Indonesian, Krewol...), ones that are agglutinating (such as Turkish, Finnish, Tamil...), and ones that are inflexional (such as Russian, Latin, Arabic...).
		For example, the past tense of most verbs is a matter of adding -ed to the stem; the present participle is made by adding -ing; the plural of a noun is made by adding -s.
		Verbs are words which express action taken by something, the state something is in or a change in that state, or an interaction between one thing and another.

	FR4202: Structure and varieties of contemporary French --- Syntax I
		Morphology and syntax I: the description of the sentence in French traditional grammar
		A French linguist examining the notion of grammar once remarked that every manual of traditional grammar was liable to be caught between three confllicting purposes: to describe language as it is, to distinguish correct linguistic usage from incorrect usage and to serves as a means of learning a language.
		It is seen as a type that is superimposed on one of the three fundamental types. Its relationship to the fundamental types and to other types is the object of some continuing discussions among grammarians.

	Structural Variability of Indo-European Morphology
		Practically all the history of development of Indo-European tongues is the history of their losing the inflections and the grammatical categories of the noun and the verb, the simplification of morphology.
		Three principal forms of the verb (the present tense stem, the aorist stem, the perfect stem), the rest tenses and moods were formed using one of these three.
		Morphology of its reconstructed ancestor - the Proto-Slavic language - is distinguished for its highly flective type, the noun declining in seven cases in practically all kinds of stems, with three genders and three numbers.

		Morphology and syntax II: the description of the French sentence in transformational/generative grammar
		In the case of some sentences of English/ French however, phrase structure grammar is judged by Chomsky to be an excessively clumsy intrument of generation/ description.
		In a Chomskyan tree digram the subject is the NP directly dominated by S, the object the NP directly dominated by VP, the complément circonstanciel the PP directly dominated by the VP.

	Russian Word Formation - The Verb of Motion
		Derivational morphology is sometimes called 'word formation' because, rather than marking the relations of words within a phrase, its job is to create a set of new words from each old one.
		When added to verbs of motion, they indicate the direction or path of the action: over, under, across, along, up to, away from, as far as, convergence and divergance.
		When added to verbs of motion, the prefix в- with the preposition в+Accusative indicates the motion into (Ира входит в дом 'Ira is entering the building', and the prefix вы- with the preposition из+Genitive signals motion out of something (Ира вы-ходит из дому 'Ira is coming out of the building').

	Galdurian: Syntax
		An intransitive verb can be made transitive through the use of the verb soleles "to cause/make." This verb should not be confused with the verb pratumes "to make." The latter implies creation while the former simply implies causality.
		Verbs that are already transitive can take on an intransitive meaning by using a reflexive pronoun.
		OSV is used to emphasize the relationship between the subject and the object, or to emphasize the verb itself.

		Maison is feminine in French and the articles and possessive pronouns should agree in gender and number with the noun.
		As for the word order, yes, I think it’s quite strict, too, though the subject go after the verb in the case of inversion but there are strict rules for uses of inversion as well, I think.
		Also French has the -able suffix (example --‘portable’) and -ifier suffix (électrifier), which should be the French counterpart of —ify, I guess.

	Syllabus Advanced Comparative Grammar
		The goal of French 335 is to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of the resemblances and differences between French and English grammar and style and to teach them to use this knowledge in their writing and reading.
		By means of translation exercises and controlled compositions, the course will reduce the contamination of students' written French with English grammatical and stylistic structures (or the reverse for Francophones), thus improving overall written and spoken expression in French (or English) and preparing students for careers necessitating the correct use of French (or English).

		The Yearbook of Morphology series, published since 1988, has proven to be an eminent support for this upswing of morphological research, since it contains articles on topics which are central in the current theoretical debates, and which are frequently referred to.
		In the Yearbook of Morphology 2003 a large number of articles is devoted to the phenomenon of complex predicates consisting of a verb preceded by a preverb.
		Such complex predicates exhibit both morphological and syntactic behaviour, and thus form a testing ground for theories of the relation between morphology and syntax.

		The method is first briefly applied to English, in order to familiarize the reader with the methodological concepts and terminology, and comparisons are made with the general outline of the French system.
		The major sub-systems of the French verb are analysed in the four central chapters (4-7) entitled Aspect, Voice, Tense, Mood, followed by a chapter on systemic comparison, and two final chapters of detailed analysis of the verbal morphology and its relevance to the cognitive system.
