The new revised introduction to French morphology comprises three main parts: Part I develops the basic concepts and the descriptive methods of structural morphology, Part II deals with the inflection of nouns, adjectives and verbs, while Part III provides a survey of the different means of word formation of the French language (suffixation, prefixation, parasynthesis, composition), covering both oral and written language in equal measure. A glossary rounds off the work with important linguistic terms in German and their French counterparts.
