Reviews / Votes
'Unprecedented in scope and detail, it stands high above most of its predecessors for its linguistic perception and scholarly authority.' - Languages and Literature'... where the work most clearly stands out is in the quantity, variety, naturalness and reliability of the examples, the acid test for such manuals.' - Joan Sola, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies
