Congreso Internacional Sobre Lenguas Neolatinas en la Comunicación Especializada

A reader for your intermediate Spanish students Cuentos simpáticos is the third in a three-level reader series. It presents humorous dialogues which include illustrations depicting cultural characteristics of Spanish-speaking countries. The material is presented in Spanish through a vocabulary of level-appropriate words or expressions. A wide variety of exercises follow for review and reinforcement. This reader is softcover and measures 6” × 9”.

This volume focuses on the Spanish locative verbs "poner" and "meter". By means of logistic regression analyses, the parallels and differences in the spatial relations they denote are established. The thesis also zooms in on their linguistic behavior as auxiliaries in inchoative and causative periphrases. In addition, a historical corpus study describes the grammaticalization of the verbs, starting from the 13th century up to now.

The present study aims at offering an overview of Spanish-Portuguese (and Spanish-Galician-Portuguese) language contact, both in Europe and in America. It pays a special attention to the history of linguistic interferences in each region, examining how and when lexical borrowings entered the Spanish language and how they disseminated across the Spanish-speaking world.
