- A linguistic study of syntactic differences in the mass noun-count noun contrast in French and English reveals the problems encountered in the construction of illustrative sentences and other pattern drills. A definitional statement of the distinctions between the two classes of nouns includes numerous examples in both languages. By taking semantic and syntactic distinctions into consideration, the author suggests that the teaching of the forms and uses of the French article, particularly the partitive, will be made more effective.
