The morphological expression of temporality on the verb in French as a second language

Introductory Article: French in Second Language Acquisition Research

“…The focus on French complements a range of previous volumes which have brought together collections of studies, or in some cases, have constituted single manuscripts, such as Bartning (1997), Dewaele (2005), Guijarro-Fuentes et al (2015), Labeau and Myles (2011), Lindqvist and Bardel (2012), and Myles and Towell (2004) in the former case, and Perdue (1995), Prévost (2009), and Véronique (2009) in the latter case. Others, such as Ayoun (2013), Leclercq and Howard (2015), Forsberg Lundell (2008), Howard and Ågren (2019), and Mougeon et al (2010), have respectively drawn on French to explore specific features, such as tense-aspect-modality, collocational language, the sandhi phenomenon of liaison, and sociolinguistic competence. Indeed, a further edited volume by Dewaele and Mougeon (2002) has contributed to the latter area with a collection of studies on French.…”
