This volume contains thirteen papers that use Spanish data to treat a series of problems which are central to current linguistic theory and provide up-to date analyses of these data.. The papers deal with connected syntactic and semantic issues in different dialects of Spanish, in related languages (Galician, Catalan, German, etc.) or in different stages in the evolution or acquisition of Spanish. Thus, the book will be of interest for theoretical, descriptive, contrastive and pedagogical purposes.
