A detailed discussion of how each verb form is used, with numerous examples. A full explanation of the distinction between ser and estar—the single most confusing element in the Spanish verbal system.

Book Description
Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies are the three main research areas within Philology. Scientific production, such as conferences and journals, has tended towards specialization, and has been traditionally classified according to separate disciplines and languages. However, this volume offers a holistic view of the wide area of Philology, therefore allowing the permeability of the three areas mentioned above. As such, this book shows that the line that separates Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies is actually very thin. This volume is composed of a miscellanea of philological studies dealing with various trends in Modern Language research. It looks at three languages in particular: Spanish, English and French, with a special relevance to the first two.

Book Description
This third volume on Missionary Linguistics focuses on morphology and syntax. It contains a selection of papers derived from the international conferences on missionary linguistics held in Hong Kong/Macau and Valladolid. As with the previous two volumes (2004, on general issues, and 2005, on orthography and phonology), this volume looks at methodology and descriptive techniques from a historical point of view, offering articles of interest to historiographers of linguistics, typologists, and descriptive linguists. It presents research into languages such as Tarasco (Pur'épecha), Massachusett, Nahuatl, Conivo, Sipibo, Guaraní, Vietnamese, Tamil, Southern Min Chinese dialects, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Tagalog and other Austronesian languages, such as Yapese and Chamorro.

Book Description
Si hubiera podido elegir el lugar de mi nacimiento, habría elegido una sociedad de una magnitud limitada por la extensión de las facultades humanas, es decir, por la posibilidad de ser bien gobernada, y donde cada uno al cumplir suficientemente su empleo, nadie habría estado obligado de encomendar a otros las funciones que estaban a su cargo un Estado donde todos los particulares por conocerse entre ellos, no habrían podido sustraer a las miradas y al juicio del público las maniobras oscuras del vicio ni la modestia de la virtud, y donde esta buena costumbre de verse y de conocerse hace del amor a la patria el amor entre los ciudadanos, más que el amor a la tierra. Hubiera querido nacer en un país donde el soberano y el pueblo no pudiesen tener más que un solo y común interés, a fin de que todos los movimientos de la máquina no tendiesen más que al bien común lo que no pudiendo lograse a menos que el pueblo y el soberano sean una misma persona, se sigue que habría querido nacer bajo un gobierno democrático sabiamente atemperado. Habría querido vivir y morir libre, es decir, de tal manera que nadie pudiese sacudir el honorable yugo. Ese yugo saludable y suave que las cabezas más altivas llevan más dócilmente en tanto no están hechas para llevar ningún otro. Hubiera querido que nadie en el Estado hubiese podido ponerse por encima de la ley, y que nadie desde fuera hubiese podido imponer una que el Estado estuviese obligado a reconocer. Pues cualquiera que fuese la constitución de un gobierno, si se hallase un solo hombre que no estuviese sometido a la ley, todos los otros estarían necesariamente a merced de él y si hubiese un jefe nacional y otro jefe extranjero, cualquier partición de autoridad que pudiesen hacer, sería imposible que ni uno ni otro fuesen obedecidos y que el Estado estuviese bien gobernado.'
