Subject: Future Expression in French


I was wondering if anyone had some pointers to give me concerning recentpublications on Future expression in French, and especially in Spoken French.I am interested in the use of periphrastic future expression in spokenFrench, since I have observed 'unusual' use in a spoken corpus I've justrecorded, so I was wondering if any research had been conducted lately inthis area.

I would be most grateful for any suggestions in this area!
