Morfología verbal irregular. Una perspectiva didáctica para gramáticas (contrastivas) y diccionarios (bilingües)

Teaching Spanish as a foreign language – in our case, to Italian speakers – the acquisition of irregular verbal morphology is a very difficult hurdle to overcome. Grammars (for native Italians) and (bilingual) dictionaries often follow a traditional system: they present a series (frequently a very long one) of conjugation models. In this study, the verbal irregularity is not proposed as a models based system but as the simultaneous actions of a few morphological items and linguistic principles. In this way, the verbal irregularity is part of a coherent, productive and didactical system.
