Synopsis:

Recognized internationally as the most authoritative and comprehensive guide to contemporary Spanish for English speakers, A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish is an accessible, jargon- guide to the forms and structures of Spanish as it is currently spoken and written. Examples from contemporary sources from throughout the Spanish-speaking world are used to illustrate grammatical points. Levels of usage--formal, familiar, colloquial, and popular--are indicated, and regional differences in usage are highlighted. This edition has been updated and revised to include the latest findings of the Royal Spanish Academy.

Review: ...an essential reference tool for all interested in the Spanish language. The most extensive and accurate single-volume comprehensive source of information on contemporary Spanish language currently in existence in the English language, it replaces and surpasses the Ramsey-Spaulding 'Textbook of Modern Spanish'.
George DeMello, Professor of Hispanic Linguistics,

This is still the best Spanish grammar for English students I've come across; Clear, user-friendly, lots of examples, explains differences in regional usage
Dr I Macias, Bath University

...widely held in high regard for its breadth of coverage of modern peninsular and Latin American Spanish, the clarity of its explanations, its judicious blend of descriptive and prescriptive approaches, and its wealth of up-to-date examples.
