FRIT-F 578: Contrastive Study of French and English
This course focuses on aspects of grammar and pragmatics where French and English make use of different constructions (e.g., phrasal verbs, the expression of verbal aspect, achieving emphasis, etc.).
Its objectives are:
-to identify areas of grammar in which the two languages differ
-to explore why these differences exist and what they mean
-to distinguish differences that are imposed by the grammar of each language from those that serve as stylistic resources
-to become better writers of French or English (or both) as a result of better understanding the structure of each language.
