The Recipe for Success: Syntactic Features of "la chronique gastronomique."

Engel, Dulcie M.

Journal of French Language Studies, v7 n2 p195-207 Sep 1997

Analyzes the syntactic structure of noun phrases and verb phrases in recipes and cookery articles in the French press and argues that the complexity of writing about cooking parallels the complexity of the cooking process itself, demonstrating how syntax can reflect function and meaning in a restricted text-type.
