Author's Summary— Liaison is inadequately treated in most of our classes, largely because there are two sets of phenomena, one subject to grammatical law and the other to usage. This study tries to explain what distinguishes between the obligatory and the optional liaison, and indicates a method of teaching the student to direct himself amidst these irregularities.
