CONCLUSION; NOTES; REFERENCES. 520 Left detachment constructions (LDs) (e.g. un buffet de campagne, c'est un meuble) are examined in a corpus of informal spontaneous conversation between educated native speakers of French. The overwhelming majority of these constructions are shown to have a clearly pragmatic motivation. The author's observations support a view of LD in French as a particular type of paratactic structure which should be seen primarily as a feature of unplanned discourse. The analysis partly builds on views expressed by Knud Lambrecht in an earlier contribution tot this series. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 French language|xSyntax.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008104132 650 0 French language|xSpoken French.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh89002534 650 7 French language|xSyntax.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/934637 650 7 French language|xSpoken French.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/934575 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBarnes, Betsy K.|tPragmatics of Left Detachment in Spoken Standard French.|dAmsterdam/ Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, ©1985 |z9789027225450 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=409231|zOnline eBook.
