orthographic, morphological, and syntactic structures of both these languages. Unlike conventional grammars, this work pays special attention to those areas of grammar that cause the most difficulty to English-speakers learning Spanish as well as to Spanish-speakers learning English. There is also a workbook containing a well-integrated series of exercises and tests that are aligned with the text and help learners assimilate the material and extend their knowledge. Both the text and workbook are geared to universities and their libraries in the United States, England, Spain, and Spanish America that offer Baccalaureate or M.A. programs in Spanish. Both works could be used as ancillary materials to those teaching in bilingual programs, to translators and interpreters, and to those students interested in bilingualism and applied linguistics. Este estudio comprensivo de las normas sobre las cuales se ba¬san las lenguas castellana e in¬glesa ha sido diseñado para los que desean perfeccionar sus conocimientos de las estructuras fonémicas, ortográficas, morfológicas y sintácticas de ambas lenguas. A diferencia de las gramáticas convencionales, este texto presta especial atención a las áreas de la gramática que causan los mayores problemas tanto para el estudiante anglosajón que quiera aprender el español como para el hispanohablante que quiera aprender el inglés. El Cuaderno de Práctica contiene una serie integrada de ejercicios y pruebas que están alineados con el texto y que le ayudarán al estudiante a asimilar el material. El texto y el Cuaderno de Práctica podrían interesar a las universidades en sus programas de licenciatura y maestría tanto en los Estados Unidos como en España, Inglaterra e Hispanoamérica y podrían ser distribuidos a las bibliotecas. Los dos textos serán útiles como materiales suplementarios para los que enseñan en programas bilingües, para traductores e intérpretes, y para aquellos estudiantes interesados en el bilingüismo y la lingüística aplicada.
