이 책에서는 언어 현상을 취사선택하여 단순히 기술하는 데 그치는 것이 아니라 그 현상의 원인을 설명(explication)하려고 한다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 본서가 기존 문법책들과 차별성을 보이는 또 다른 특징은 문법서로서 언어의 규범을 기술하기보다는 당시에 통용되던 언어현상을 객관적으로 기술하겠다는 자세를 견지하고 있다는 점이다. 말하자면, 객관성을 지향하는 오늘날의 언어학적 접근방식을 추구하고 있다는 것이다.

우리가 『품격 있는 프랑스어 이야기』라는 제목을 붙인 이 책의 원제는 부제에 있는 Comment on parle en fran?ais이다. 원서는 1927년에 라루스(Larousse) 출판사에서 발간되었고, “문학어와 일상어(친숙어)와 비교해서 살펴본 올바른 구어”라는 부제가 붙어 있다. 저자인 필립 마르티농(Philippe Martinon)은 1859년에 태어나서 문학박사학위(docteur ?s lettres)를 취득했으며 여러 저술을 내놓았다. 어느 나라에나 그 나라를 대표하는 권위 있는 문법책이 여러 개 있기 마련이다. 프랑스의 경우에도 이런 문법책이 여러 개 존재하는데 이중 가장 권위 있는 문법책은 Maurice Grevisse의 Le bon usage일 것이다. 본서 Comment on parle en fran?ais는 기존 문법책들과는 다른 특징을 지니고 있다. 다른 문법책들이 많은 예문들을 통하여 단순히 기술(description)하고 있다는 공통점이 있다면, 이 책에서는 언어 현상을 취사선택하여 단순히 기술하는 데 그치는 것이 아니라 그 현상의 원인을 설명(explication)하려고 한다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 본서가 기존 문법책들과 차별성을 보이는 또 다른 특징은 문법서로서 언어의 규범을 기술하기보다는 당시에 통용되던 언어현상을 객관적으로 기술하겠다는 자세를 견지하고 있다는 점이다. 말하자면, 객관성을 지향하는 오늘날의 언어학적 접근방식을 추구하고 있다는 것이다.
