Une grammaire des usages du français parlé pour non spécialistes: difficultés et perspectives by Sandrine Caddéo

“… Des grammaires rendant compte des usages oraux du français contemporain devraient pouvoir côtoyer les usuels de la langue pour permettre au public de nonspécialistes d’élargir ses connaissances sur les faits de langues, très partiellement décrits par les grammaires de référence souvent tournées vers le système du français écrit. La question des usages conduit cependant à remettre en question, critiquer ou même invalider les perspectives actuelles sur certains domaines grammaticaux « fossilisés » par plusieurs décennies de tradition grammaticale qui ont façonné la pensée collective (en ce qui concerne entre autres la phrase, le système du genre et du nombre, la notion de non-standard, les genres discursifs). …”
