Estructura Linguistica del Espanol y El Ingles - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This comprehensive study of the norms that govern Spanish and English is designed for those who wish to increase their mastery of the phonemic, orthographic, morphological, and syntactic structures of both these languages. Unlike conventional grammars, this work pays special attention to those areas of grammar that cause the most difficulty to English-speakers learning Spanish as well as to Spanish-speakers learning English. There is also a workbook containing a well-integrated series of exercises and tests that are aligned with the text and help learners assimilate the material and extend their knowledge. Both the text and workbook are geared to universities and their libraries in the United States, England, Spain, and Spanish America that offer Baccalaureate or M.A. programs in Spanish. Both works could be used as ancillary materials to those teaching in bilingual programs, to translators and interpreters, and to those students interested in bilingualism and applied linguistics.
