Description

This textbook provides an introduction to Spanish syntax, assuming no prior knowledge of current theory. It begins with a descriptive overview of the major characteristics of the grammar and goes on to describe key features such as word order, notions of 'subject', 'direct object', 'auxiliary verb' and more.

The book combines traditional grammatical description with perspectives gained from recent research in the Principles and Parameters framework. It also presents useful theoretical notions such as semantic roles, Case, and Predication, providing a comprehensive understanding of Spanish syntax.
