This is a much-needed, definitive grammar for all students of Spanish. Balancing a respect for established tradition with an awareness of current usage, A Comprehensive Spanish Grammar is both authoritative & stimulating in its approach. The book covers topics from basic pronunciation & the use of the noun, to particular problem areas, such as difficulties with verbs & word order. Special sections examine regional diversity within the language, & attention is paid throughout to the inclusion of Latin-American Spanish.
