[Corpora-List] request for French closed class list

Does someone know of an authoritative listing of French
closed class terms?

I am comparing schoolbooks used in grades 1 through 8
between 1930 and  2000 in five nations:  France, Sweden,
New Zealand, Canada and the USA.  The analyses track the
changes in schoolbook publishers'  use of open and closed
class terms.

I have authoritative lists for Swedish and English -- (but even
authorities disagree on some closed class terms and phrases).

Thank you.
