Description: This course forms part of the Rice-in-France Study Abroad program.

In order to discuss these sociocultural topics, students will cover complex grammatical structures such as: anteriority, posteriority, and simultaneity. The course will cover expressions of subjectivity as well as reported speeches, linking words, and expression of opinion.
