Abstract
In this informal presentation we introduce some of the main definitions and results which form the basis of model theory. We have chosen an approach adapted to the particular subject of this book. For proofs and formal definitions as well as for all that we have here purposely omitted, we suggest [Ho] or [Po 85] both rather close in spirit to the point of view adopted here. For a more classical approach, see [ChKe].
