Verbo: morfología, sintaxis y semántica. Vol II di: GREIT. Gramática de referencia de español para italófonos

The Gramática de Referencia de español para italófonos (GREIT) proposes a novel approach to Spanish-Italian contrastive grammar, by offering new lines of study and research on the Spanish language in this field. GREIT was written with a special focus on the latest theoretical, methodological and descriptive contributions in the field of grammar and theoretical and applied linguistics. It is intended for professors and advanced students with an interest for the Spanish language, as well as any reader interested in teaching-learning foreign languages and contrastive grammar. GREIT consists of three parts, in a progression that goes from the description of the fundamental units to the dimension of discourse and conversation. It includes three volumes (I. sonidos, grafías y clases de palabras II. Verbo: morfología, sintaxis y semántica. III. Oración, discurso, léxico), with a total of fifty chapters, and it examines, under the lens of contrastivity, topics that probably have not received the right attention from researchers until now, such as discourse and conversational markers, informative functions, negation and word formation. Each chapter analyses the main problems of the Spanish grammar; the Introduction and a the final Bibliographic Itinerary allow readers to find their way through the main and latest lines of grammar research, as well as to set the foundations for critical study and research. The project, directed by Félix San Vicente, relied on the work and coordination of numerous and renowned researches from various Italian and Spanish Universities. It is a collective work with a novel structure and with unified criteria and formulations, where each chapter is signed by one or more authors, who are responsible for it.
