Riassunto

'A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish' is widely recognised as the standard English-language reference grammar of Spanish. It provides teachers, students and other users of Spanish with a comprehensive, accessible and jargon-free guide to the forms and structures of the Spanish currently spoken and written in Spain and Latin America.



This new edition has been updated throughout, with new material on points of particular interest to English-speaking learners. A host of new examples has been introduced, drawing on contemporary Spanish, and where possible contrasting Peninsular with Latin American usage. The most common levels of usage (formal, colloquial, familiar and popular) are distinguished, and special attention has been given to student needs, with extended explanations of difficult grammatical points.

Recensione

...an essential reference tool for all interested in the Spanish language. The most extensive and accurate single-volume comprehensive source of information on contemporary Spanish language currently in existence in the English language, it replaces and surpasses the Ramsey-Spaulding 'Textbook of Modern Spanish'.
George DeMello, Professor of Hispanic Linguistics,

This is still the best Spanish grammar for English students I've come across; Clear, user-friendly, lots of examples, explains differences in regional usage
Dr I Macias, Bath University

...widely held in high regard for its breadth of coverage of modern peninsular and Latin American Spanish, the clarity of its explanations, its judicious blend of descriptive and prescriptive approaches, and its wealth of up-to-date examples.
