This volume is part of a series, which is in turn part of a course entitled "Contact Canada" and designed for adult Francophone students of English as a second language. The series contains exercises for learning conversational tools. This volume deals with linking formulas, which are grouped under the following categories: (1) subject-expansion links; (2) subject-evaluation links; and (3) argumentation links. The first category includes such functions as expanding, giving a reason, explaining, contingency, interpreting, restating, and distinguishing between appearance and reality. Category 2 includes rejecting, questioning and suggesting, stating reservations, taking something into account, seeing the other side, and giving in. The final category includes generalizing, pointing out exceptions, providing examples, and summarizing and concluding. A videotape recording explaining how to use the series effectively is available separately. (AM)
