Using Spanish This is a guide to Spanish usage for those who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it focuses on those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. It fully illustrates the differences between the Spanish of Spain and Latin America, and looks in detail at register variation. Complete with a full word index, this clear and easy-to-consult text guides students through the richness and diversity of this major world language. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to take a fuller account of Latin-American usage. The vocabulary sections have been significantly expanded, and now include examples which contextualize each word or expression. The presentation of many sections has been improved to make reference even easier than before, and some completely new material has been added on semi-technical vocabulary and Anglicisms. RONALD E. BATCHELOR has now retired from the University of Nottingham, where he taught French and Spanish for forty years. He has also held teaching posts at the universities of Besan¸on, France, and Valencia, Spain. He has published ten books, including in this series Using Spanish Synonyms , Using Spanish Vocabulary , Using French and Using French Synonyms. He is currently working on A Student Grammar of Spanish , also to be published by Cambridge University Press (forthcoming 2005). CHRISTOPHER J. POUNTAIN is Professor of Spanish Linguistics at Queen Mary, University of London. He has held previous appointments at the University of Nottingham and the University of Cambridge, where he is a Life Fellow of Queens’ College. He has a long experience of teaching Spanish at various levels, and his previous books include Modern Spanish Grammar: A Practical Guide , Practising Spanish Grammar , A Comprehensive Spanish Grammar , A History of the Spanish Language through Texts and Exploring the Spanish Language .
