Four Dichotomies in Spanish: Adjective Position, Adjectival Clauses, Ser/Estar, and Preterite/Imperfect (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Examining four dichotomies in Spanish, this book shows how to reduce the six to ten rules common in textbooks for each contrast to a single binary distinction. That distinction is a form of totality vs. part, easier to see in some of the dichotomies, but present in all of them.

Inhaltsangabe

1. Adjective position: why having a 'guapo novio' does not raise any
eyebrows, but having a 'novio guapo' might 2. Whole/part matters:
nonrestrictive and restrictive adjectival (relative) clauses 3. Estar
expresses a change of state; learners already have ser in their native
language 4. The preterite is like entering or leaving a room; the imperfect
is like staying in it
