This course is a continuation of French 352 as well as a new step forward. The language is studied at a more advanced level, from both a descriptive and a practical point of view, with particular attention given to the relationship between grammatical structures and stylistic effects. Topics include: sentence structures and their variants, stylistic aspects of vocabulary, patterns of emphasis, levels of language from literary tones to colloquial speech. A good deal of attention is also given to the practice and techniques of advanced translation from English to French.
