  • Top Ten Tips for Spanish
    TOP TEN TIPS FOR SPANISH 1. Vocabulary The best way to learn vocabulary is to use note cards. Put English on one side and Spanish on the other. Try to study new words daily for short rather than long periods of time. This will improve your retention. When studying vocabulary, try to form phrases with the new words. Relate this vocabulary to your own language (English) by using a cognate dictionary or a thesaurus. When convenient, relate vocabulary to your personal life. One example would be labeling parts of your kitchen and items in it with Spanish names and corresponding verbs. 2. Gender In Spanish, all nouns are classified as either masculine or feminine. You can determine gender by looking at the article of the noun or the adjective that corresponds to that noun. (It is a good idea to include articles with the nouns on your note cards.) Masculine nouns with a definite article ("the" in English) use el if singular and los if plural. Examples are el gato (the cat) and los gatos (the cats). Masculine nouns with an indefinite article ("a," "an," or "some") use un if singular and unos if plural. Examples are un gato (a cat) and unos gatos (some cats). Feminine nouns with a definite article use la if singular and las if plural. Examples are la pluma (the pen) and las plumas (the pens). Feminine nouns with an indefinite article use una pluma (a pen) and unas plumas (some pens). While nouns usually end with an "o" if they are masculine or with an "a" if they are feminine, not all of them do, such as la mano (the hand) and el mapa (the map).

  • The Spanish Pronominal Clitic System
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Alicante The Spanish pronominal clitic system Luis Pineda Ivan Meza Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Division of Informatics Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS) University of Edinburgh Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [email protected] (UNAM) [email protected] Resumen: En este artículo se presenta un modelo del sistema de pronombres clíticos del español. Se presenta una revisión detallada del fenómeno incluyendo la llamada “subida de clíticos” tanto simple como compleja, así como el fenómeno relacionado de los reflexivos, y también las formas impersonales de la pasiva-refleja y la impersonal-activa. Se presenta también un análisis del estatus representacional de los pronombres clíticos y se postula un modelo dual en el que mientras los enclíticos son inflexiones, los proclíticos se realizan como unidades léxicas independientes y por lo mismo son clíticos propiamente. Se presenta también la formalización del modelo en Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG); para esto la maquinaria estándar de HPSG se extiende con un esquema de combinación sintáctica, la regla Head-Proclitic Rule y el principio de clíticos. Este principio establece que en las oraciones bien formadas que incluyen pronombres clíticos todo dominio clítico se encuentra bajo el alcance de un clítico fonológico. Estas nociones se introducen también en el presente artículo. En particular, los dominios clíticos se forma sobre las operaciones de cliticización, composición y subsumsión de clíticos, que también se presentan en este artículo. La teoría ha sido validada mediante la programación de un sistema prototipo en el ambiente Linguistics Knowledge Building (LKB), el cual también se describe en el presente artículo.

  • Language and Dialect Contact in Spanish in New York: Toward the Formation of a Speech Community
    LANGUAGE AND DIALECT CONTACT IN SPANISH IN NEW YORK: TOWARD THE FORMATION OF A SPEECH COMMUNITY RICARDO OTHEGUY ANA CELIA ZENTELLA DAVID LIVERT Graduate Center, University of California, Pennsylvania State CUNY San Diego University, Lehigh Valley Subject personal pronouns are highly variable in Spanish but nearly obligatory in many contexts in English, and regions of Latin America differ significantly in rates and constraints on use. We investigate language and dialect contact by analyzing these pronouns in a corpus of 63,500 verbs extracted from sociolinguistic interviews of a stratified sample of 142 members of the six largest Spanish-speaking communities in New York City. A variationist approach to rates of overt pro- nouns and variable and constraint hierarchies, comparing speakers from different dialect regions (Caribbeans vs. Mainlanders) and different generations (those recently arrived vs. those born and/ or raised in New York), reveals the influence of English on speakers from both regions. In addition, generational changesin constrainthierarchiesdemonstratethat Caribbeansand Mainlandersare accommodating to one another. Both dialect and language contact are shaping Spanish in New York City and promoting, in the second generation, the formation of a New York Spanish speech community.* 1. INTRODUCTION. The Spanish-speaking population of New York City (NYC), which constitutesmorethan twenty-five percent of the City’stotal, tracesitsorigins to what are linguistically very different parts of Latin America. For example, Puerto Rico and Mexico, the sources of one of the oldest and one of the newest Spanish- speaking groups in NYC respectively, have been regarded as belonging to different areasfrom the earliesteffortsat dividing Latin America into dialect zones(Henrı ´quez Uren˜a 1921, Rona 1964).

  • Spanish - Español
    SPANISH - ESPAÑOL ¿Qué haces? What do you do/What are you doing? Cantar Tocar Bailar Nadar To sing To play To dance To swim Saltar Hablar Escuchar To jump To speak To listen Mirar Caminar To look To walk Spanish verb conjugations For many Spanish learners, conjugations are one of the trickiest parts of the language to get used to. Verb conjugation in Spanish often seems unpredictable, with few rules to follow. That’s because Spanish has so many irregular verbs. But if you think about it, so does English! Think find/found, sell/sold and ring/rang, to name just a few. You already learned those patterns, so you can do it again with Spanish. The good news is most other aspects of Spanish are much easier. You can learn regular Spanish verb conjugation patterns pretty fast. And once you know the basics, and some of the common irregular verbs, it’s easier to get a sense of how a verb should change. Spanish Verb Tenses: The 3 Main Tenses to Master The three main tenses you should learn first in Spanish are the present (el presente), the past (also called the preterite, el pretérito), and the future (el futuro). They’re the ones you’ll run into most. You can get a lot of things across from these tenses and still be understood in the beginning. If you’re curious, there’s also the imperfect, perfect, conditional, subjunctive, imperative, and gerund forms, too. But you should go back to those later after you’ve mastered the main three tenses.

Indicative Mood (objective) 2. Subjunctive Mood (subjective) 3. Imperative Mood (commands) INFINITIVES (INFINITIVOS) A verb in the purest form (without a noun or subject pronoun to perform the action) is called an infinitive. The infinitives in English are characterized by the prefix “to” + “verb form”, the Spanish infinitives are identified by the “r” ending. Example estudiar, comer, dormir to study, to eat, to sleep CONJUGATIONS (CONJUGACIONES) Spanish verbs are grouped in three categories or conjugations. 1. Infinitives ending in –ar belong to the first conjugation. (estudiar) 2. Infinitives ending in –er belong to the second conjugation. (comer) 3. Infinitives ending in –ir belong to the third conjugation. (dormir) VERB STRUCTURE (ESTRUCTURA VERBAL) Spanish verbs are divided into three parts. (infinitive: estudiar) 1. Stem or Root (estudi-) 2. Theme Vowel (-a-) 3. "R" Ending (-r) CONJUGATED VERBS (VERBOS CONJUGADOS) To conjugate a verb, a verb must have an explicit subject noun (ex: María), a subject pronoun (yo, tú, usted, él, ella, nosotros(as), vosotros(as), ustedes, ellos, ellas), or an implicit subject, to indicate the performer of the action.

  • Grammatical Optionality and Variability in Bilingualism: How Spanish-English Bilinguals Limit Clitic-Climbing
    Grammatical Optionality and Variability in Bilingualism: How Spanish-English bilinguals limit clitic-climbing by Danielle L. Thomopoulos Thomas A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto © Copyright by Danielle L. Thomopoulos Thomas 2012 Grammatical Optionality and Variability in Bilingualism: How Spanish-English bilinguals limit clitic-climbing Danielle L. Thomopoulos Thomas Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This thesis considers how different groups of Spanish speakers (monolinguals, early bilinguals and late bilinguals) organize and limit grammatical optionality related to the placement of Spanish pronominal clitics with many complex infinitival constructions (Spanish clitic- climbing). In examining empirical work on the process and outcome of early and late dual language exposure and how early and late bilinguals acquire and limit grammatical optionality, this study will contribute to our understanding of 1) the nature of language-related cognition at different ages; 2) the systematic nature of bilingual language behaviour in child and adults (transfer, cross-language influence, etc.); 3) the cognitive and contextual factors associated with age of exposure to bilingualism to explain bilingual language behaviour; and 4) the importance of incorporating a clear model of language variation (language-internally and cross- linguistically) into a formal model of (bilingual) language. The empirical study conducted here tested how highly proficient heritage speakers (HS) of Spanish (native speakers of Spanish and Spanish-English bilinguals) deal with the optionality of clitic-climbing structures compared to monolingual speakers (native speakers) and highly proficient adult L2 speakers of Spanish (Spanish-English bilinguals).

Spanish speakers use different greetings depending on the time of day, including: Buenos días (good morning) Buenas tardes (good afternoon) Buenas noches (good evening/good night) Note: You can also say “Buenas” or “muy buenas” a shortened version of the above three greetings, suitable in any informal situation. There are, of course, other ways of greeting someone. Formal greetings use the formal form “usted”, including: ¿Cómo está usted? (How are you?) ¿Cómo le va? (How’s it going?) ¿Qué hace? (What are you doing?) Informal greetings use the informal form “tu”, including: ¿Cómo estás? (Hello, how are you?) ¿Cómo te va? (How’s it going?) ¿Qué haces? (What are you doing?) Another extremely common informal greeting is ¿Qué tal? which roughly means “What’s up?” Common responses to these questions include: Bien, gracias. / Muy bien. (Well, thanks. / Very well.) Como siempre. (As always.) Más o menos. (Okay, so-so.) Todo bien. (All good, great.) Nada. (Nothing.) When meeting someone for the first time, you can say “mucho gusto” (nice to meet you) or “encantado/encantada” (how do you do). GREETINGS When leaving somewhere, you can use the same expressions to say goodbye as you used to say hello, given the time of day: Buenos días (good morning) Buenas tardes (good afternoon) Buenas noches (good evening/good night) Other common ways to say goodbye include: Adiós (Bye) Hasta luego/hasta más tarde (See you later) Hasta mañana (See you tomorrow) Hasta pronto (See you soon) Hasta la próxima (Until next time) Hasta ahora (See you in a minute) Nos vemos.

  • Subject Pronoun Usage Among Spanish Dialects John M. Lipski The
    Subject pronoun usage among Spanish dialects John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University 1. Introduction Research on Spanish subject pronouns is complicated by a number of poorly-documented and sometimes mutually contradictory assumptions, all of which have been repeated for so long within different theoretical models—as well as in pre-theoretical descriptive studies—as to take on the status of received wisdom. Among these assumptions are: (1) Spanish is a null-subject language. This `prodrop' feature of Spanish is usually tied to the rich verb morphology of Spanish, which identifies the grammatical subject with a high degree of accuracy, rendering overt subject pronouns usually redundant. Comparisons between Spanish and English from the perspective of second language acquisition routinely mention lack of prodrop in English, together with the types of interference that can result from misapplication of L1 parameters in the acquisition of L2: (a) ungrammatical elimination of subject pronouns in English, and (b) categorical retention of overt subject pronouns in Spanish. The former misapplication produces immediate syntactic violations, and represents a discontinuous transition between grammaticality and ungrammaticality. The second case, retention of overt subject pronouns in Spanish, is more highly ramified, since prodrop in Spanish is in principle optional (except in the case of obligatorily null expletive subjects). Native speakers of Spanish, representing a broad spectrum of regional variants and dialects, are not always in agreement as to the desirability or even acceptability of null versus overt subject pronouns when presented with test utterances in which prodrop could apply, and observation of unmonitored speech reveals an equally great variation in actual production.

  • Maribor International Review 1 Spanglish: an English Spanish Language Phenomenon Nina Križanec Rodica, Faculty of Arts, Univers
    Maribor International Review Spanglish: an English Spanish Language Phenomenon Nina Križanec Rodica, Faculty of Arts, University of Maribor Abstract Spanglish is a mixture of English and Spanish that occurs as a language contact phenomenon in the speech of the Hispanic population of the United States of America, the population of Mexico living near the northern border, and also of the populations of other Central American countries. Hispanics make up the largest minority group in the USA; there were almost 47 million in 2008 (U.S. Census Bureau), 15% of the nation’s total population. Most live in the southern part of the USA, but many live in bigger cities like New York and Washington. This paper deals with the question of what kind of linguistic phenomenon Spanglish is. Is it a language, Creole, pidgin or another linguistic form? It is obvious that English and Spanish are in contact, and thus they form a mixture. Spanish is influenced by English and English is mixed with Spanish. There are no formal rules on how they mix; thus it is difficult for linguists to define what Spanglish actually is. Different linguists describe it differently. This paper deals with linguistic features that describe Spanglish. Keywords: Spanglish, English, Spanish, phenomenon, borrowing, language, mixture. The word Spanglish is a blend of the English language words for Spanish and English. It is obvious there is a language contact between them. “Code-mixing takes place to some degree everywhere that English is spoken alongside another language” (Crystal 115), and is actually a normal feature of bilingualism. Mixed varieties have blended names, which show their origin.
