Handbook of French Semantics
NWO-CNRS PICS project

Francis Corblin and Henriëtte de Swart (eds.)

A PDF of the cover page can be found here.

These are all five parts of the book, parts I through V. They are all in PDF, only chapter I.3 by Corblin et al and IV.17 by Godard also have a PostScript-version, because PS shows the branches of the trees in these papers, and PDF doesn't.

Please pay special attention to:

• Special characters
• Italics
• Tables and figures
• Glosses
• Running headers
• References

Please send in your corrections as soon as possible. The publisher expects the manuscript in early May, and so we need your input before Friday, April 30. Send your corrections to Anne-Marie Mineur.
