Moreover, Spanish, like all languages, evinces sociolinguistic variation, in that levels of formality are expressed through the use of different structures. Given this variety, students of Spanish will inevitably come into contact with variation Spanish. This variation in Spanish adds layers of complexity to the learning and instruction of the Spanish language; therefore, a linguistic understanding of variation is crucial for our students to achieve communicative competence. This unique work, which provides an overview of the most important linguistic aspects of Spanish within a context that recognizes variation, assumes no prior linguistic knowledge and is appropriate as a valuable resource manual for teachers and learners of Spanish alike. 410 0$aNew perspectives on language and education ;$v14. 606 $aSpanish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $aSpanish language$xVariation 606 $aSecond language acquisition 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSpanish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aSpanish language$xVariation. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 676 $a467/.009 700 $aArteaga$b Deborah$0847987 701 $aLlorente$b Luci?a I$g(Luci?a Isabel)$01057526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455052703321 996 $aSpanish as an international language$92492904 997 $aUNINA
