Summary:
Many textbooks either ignore or pay scant attention to instruction on liaison. Commercial tapes designed to teach students by example seldom provide good or consistent models for its use. Nevertheless, since the process of liaison is a compli cated phenomenon even for the French, it deserves careful pedagogical attention. This thesis presents a study of the adequacy of instruction on liaison in four sample texts and tapes. It also includes a definition and brief history of liaison, a statement of its function, and some general rules for students. Particular emphasis is placed on the function of optional liaison as a stylistic determinant.
