DESIGNED AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR PROFESSIONALS PREPARING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, PLANNING COURSES, OR DEVELOPING CLASSROOM TECHNIQUES FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, A SERIES OF STUDIES HAS BEEN PREPARED THAT CONTRASTS, IN TWO VOLUMES FOR EACH OF THE FIVE MOST COMMONLY TAUGHT FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN THE UNITED STATES, THE SOUND AND GRAMMATICAL DIFFERENCES OF THESE TARGET LANGUAGES AND ENGLISH. THIS VOLUME ON GRAMMATICAL SYSTEMS IS DEVOTED TO THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE OF A LANGUAGE WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN LEARNED (ENGLISH) AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE TARGET LANGUAGE (SPANISH). FOLLOWING AN INTRODUCTION TO GRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS ARE THREE CHAPTERS ON BASIC SENTENCE PATTERNS, WORD CLASSES AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE NOUN PHRASE. OTHER GRAMMATICAL DIFFERENCES ARE DISCUSSED IN CHAPTERS ON VERB FORMS, CONSTITUENTS OF VERB PHRASES, SIMPLE, COMPLEX, AND COMPOUND SENTENCE TRANSFORMATIONS, AND LEXICAL DIFFERENCES. AN APPENDIX ON PEDAGOGY OUTLINES TYPES OF DRILLS AND OTHER DEVICES THAT CAN BE USED FOR PRESENTING PARTICULAR GRAMMATICAL POINTS. LISTS OF REFERENCES, ABBREVIATIONS, AND SYMBOLS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. SEE FL 000 692 FOR THE COMPANION DOCUMENT ON THE CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH AND SPANISH SOUNDS.
