The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee at its meeting of
September 22, 1977 approved the curriculum revisions for
the French Division of D.M.L.
?
Although the Division would
like these changes to become effective in Spring 1978, this
question was not addressed by the Committee.
?
It would seem
more appropriate to delay implemention of these revisions
in requirements until they are available to students in the
Calendar.

SEE APPENDIX IV
RATIONALE: ?
FREN306-3 is a reorganization of FREN 405-5; the reduction in
credits and divisicnreflects the modified content. Study of
linguists dropped will be transferred to FREN 414-3, a more
accurate reflection of the degree of difficulty implied.
Much of the content of FREN 405-5 is a useful introduction
other 400_dtivisio fl
French linguistic courses (at the same time,
other linguists, such as Guillaume, are more difficult to
study). The absence of an adequate preparation in
linguistics in French, and in French Linguistics as distinct
from General Linguistics, is at present a handicap to
students enrolling in 400 division French linguistic
courses. ?
Considerable duplication at the beginning of each
?
course could be avoided, and time saved by reorganizing the
present FREN 405-5 as a preliminary to other studies in
French Linguistics, and resituating it at the 300 division
(as FREN 306-3) to underline its basic nature.
?
At present ?
all French Linguistic courses are at the 400 division.
(More advanced content of FREN 405-5 is to be redistributed
in FREN 414-3, new course).

CRANGE IN PREREQUISITES
FROM:

French
?
istics
FREN 301-3 is
a prerequisite for all upper-division French
linguistic courses. Students wishing to major in French
Linguistics are advised to consider a minor in General
Linguistics.
'10 :
?
French Linguistics
FREN 301-3
and FREN 306-3 are prerequisites
for
all upper-
d'vision French linguistic courses. Student wishing to
major in French Linguistics are advised to consider a minor
in General Linguistics.
RATI(,';NALE: ?
To give the student adequate preparation in linguistics in
French (terrni.nology,etc.)
The proposed changes in French Linguistics courses have
two aeneral purposes:
1)
to remove the sequential arrangement of FREI\I 403-FREN 11014
and FREN
1
1fl-ETN 1412 ; and on the other hand
2)
to make more evident the comolementary nature of all 400-divist
French linguistic courses.
Each course will thus be independent of all other 1100c-di'vis ion
courses ,but will still share some aspect with other courses
(such as methodological approach of field). In order to achieve
this a common goal. of knowledge has to be established (FREN 301
and FREN 306
are geared to this purpose).

SEE APPENDIX XIII
RATIONALE:
?
FREN 305 requiresa broader base in both French language
and literature. ?
Prerequisite knowledge is in fact
already implied.
?
The present FREN 305-3, classed as an
Upper Division French Language course, in fact requires,
by its content, information in both literary and
linguistic studies. The only way that the latter can be
obtained is through 400-level courses.
?
The placing of this
course at the 300-level is therefore illogical and mis-
leading to the students.
?
It should logically follow
after a minimum of FREN 360-3 and FREN 306-3.
?
It is
?
therefore proposed to renumber FREN 305-3 as FREN 406-3,
and reclass it in the calendar under a new heading,
FRENCH LINGUISITICS/LITERATURE along with FREN 409-3,

1. To encourage ITn.bei Literature and linguistics for students

2.
Courses in Literature in the French Division are based
mainly
on textual analysis, thus borrowing linguistic descriptive concepts
for the study of literary texts.
Courses in Linguistics in the French Division also make extensive
use of literary texts.
The opening ?
of FREN 409,2490,2492,480 and 1181 to both
disciplines is very much in line with the philosophy of the
DivisiQ.

History of French: Phonology
Course Outline
This course deals with the evolution of the phonological systems of
Modern French.
The course starts with a descriptive analysis of the phonological
system of Classical Latin and moves on to the problems posed by Vulgar
Latin in its various manifestations in the Roman Empire. A chronological
development is then followed, leading to synchronic statements of the
phonological systems that characterize Early Old French, Old French,
Middle French, and the various stages of Modern French. Within this
development, the major differences between langue d'oi 1 and langue d'oc
are also considered as are some dialectal variants.
The use of representative texts from each period ensures that
students control the data under analysis and permits discussion of the
methodological problems involved in historical linguistics and in adducing
evidence from written texts
Problems of orthography (and of orthographic reform) are discussed
in relation to the selected texts, as are such other external factors as
the social value judgements relating to 'be] usage' that have helped to
shape the phonetic developments of French.

FRENCH 408-4 History of French: Morphology and Syntax
Course Outline
This course deals with the systematic evolution of French grammar from Vulgar
Latin through Old French, Middle French and the various stages of Modern French.
It deals principally with the changing morphological. systems and with the
syntactic developments that affect the structure of simple and complex sentence;.
Problems of vocabulary, together with the varied effects of borrowing are
also studied, as are a variety of the external influences
social attitudes,
historical considerations, literary movements, prescriptive decisions of
grammarians, etc. - that have helped to shape Modern French.
Representative texts of each period play an important pedagogic role, enabling
students to
approach subsequent literary studies of specific periods (e.g.
mediaeval, Renaissance) with some prior knowledge of the syncironic state
of
the
language.

Modern French - Morphology
Course Outline
The principles of structural linguistics are applied to the
analysis of specific topics in the grammar
systems of
contemporary French.
Selected readings from modern grammarians such as Chevalier, Schogt,
Stefanini, Mitterand,
?
introduce the students to a theoretical, descriptive
approach to problems they have considered, as learners of French, from a normative
point of view. Descriptive techniques thus acquired are applied to the analysis
of contemporary texts, both literary and popular, with consideration given to
morphological variants resulting from contextual restraints (such as written
oral).
Suggested topics for discussion include: the verb system (time, aspect,
• mood, voice), the pronoun system, systems answering such functions as determination,
identification, etc. The emphasis will be on formal oppositions as signs of
functional oppositions.

Modern French - Syntax
Course outline
This course will examine a selection of problems - largely of a syntactic
nature - with a view to achieving some synthesis of the interrelatedness
of syntactic/morphological problems and to attaining some understanding
of the ordered importance of the grammatical rules that may be said to
characterize Modern French. Different theoretical approaches of grammar
will be studied, such as those of Togeby, Tesnière, Martinet
)

Gross.

INTRODUCTION
Rationale for proposed changes in French Linguistics courses
The proposed changes have two general purposes:
1)
to remove the sequential arrangment of F. 403 - F. 404, and of
F. 411 - F. 412; and on the other hand
2)
to make more evident the complementary nature of all 400-level
French Linguistic courses.
Each course will thus be independent of all other 400-level courses,
but will share some aspect with other courses (such as methodological approach
of field) - see following table:

Synchronic ?
4l2ç ?
- 4l14---- - 413 ç
?
', 421 / 422 -_-.420
All 400-level French linguistic courses will now be of 3 or 4 credit-hours,
as are French literature courses.
Much of the content of F. 405-5 is a useful introduction to other 400-level
French linguistic courses (at the same time, other linguists, such as
Guillaume, are more difficult to study). The absence of an adequate preparation
in linguistics in French, and in French linguistics as distinct from General
Linguistics, is at present a handicap to students enrolling in 400-level French
linguistic courses. Considerable duplication at the beginning of each course
could be avoided, and time saved, by reorganising the present Fren 405-5 as
a preliminary to other studies In French Linguistics, and resituating it at
the 300-level (as French 306-3) to underline its basic nature. At present all
French Linguistic courses are at the 400-level. (More advanced content of
F. 405-5 is to be redistributed in Fren 414-3 (new course).
The present Fren 305-3, classed as an Upper Division French Language course,
in fact requires by its content a formation in both literary and linguistic
studies. The only way that the latter can be obtained is through 400-level
courses. The placing of this course at 300-level is therefore illogical and
misleading to the students. It should logically follow a minimum of Fren 360-3
and Fren 306-3. It is therefore proposed to renumber Fren 305-3 as Fren 406-3,
and reclass it in the calendar under a new heading, French Linguistics and
Literature, along with F. 409-3, F. 490-3, F. 492-3, F. 480-2, F. 481-2
(see attached).

FRENCH LINGUISTICS/LITERATURE
Fren 406 - 409 - 490 --492 - 480 - 481
Rationale for proposed changes in French 409, 490, 492, 480, 481
1.
to encourage link between literature and linguistics for students and
faculty.
2. courses in Literature in the French Division are based already mainly
on textual analysis, thus borrowing linguistic descriptive concepts for
the study of literary texts.
Courses in Linguistics in the French Division also make extensive use of
literary texts.
The opening therefore of Fren 409, 490, 492, 480, 481 to both disciplines
is very much in line with the philosophy of the division.
3.
All five courses are geared to the student who wishes to pursue independent
study of a more specialized nature than the other 400 level courses.
The number of
such students is limited and if both the students in
literature and those in linguistics are allowed to take these courses,
enrolment might improve.
4. The reading course (409) could be taught jointly by a person in Literature
and one in Linguistics as a workshop or separately.
490 should be taught jointly as an atelier de travail by a person in
linguistics and one in literature. Students enrolling in the honours
essay 492 could be under the direction of a specialist in literature or
linguistics according to their interests and plans for the future.
480 & 481 are seminars accompanying 400-level courses and could be either
in literature or in linguistics.
5.
Fran 409 becomes a prerequisite for the Honours Essay, thus enabling the
student to work on his thesis for 2 semesters (students now find it
difficult to complete honours essay in one semester).
Where specific aspects of this general statement of our rationale for
the overall changes apply, they are repeated in the relevant sections.
