I'll be teaching a course called ''History of the French Language'' and washoping that List readers could recommend a textbook? The course will begeared towards undergraduates with little or no Linguistics background(mostly none at all) and a wide range of French abilities (from nearly noneto nearly fluent; and presumably, no knowledge at all of Latin).Therefore, the course will be taught in English. The ideal text, then,won't be very technical, will cover both internal and external history, andwill be written in English (I suspect in advance that such a text probablydoesn't exist, but I guess it can't hurt to ask!).
Any suggestions for an appropriate textbook and/or useful articles would begreatly appreciated. Thank you very much. If there's interest, I willgladly post a summary back to the List.
