Semantic Distinctions in Spanish Word Order offers a unique analysis of Spanish word order and the intricate relationship between grammatical form and communicative function, challenging traditional syntactic constructs and the familiar Subject, Verb, and Object–based classifications that derive from them.
Revealing underlying regularities in the Spanish language, this study argues that word order is not as flexible as previously thought and that differences in word order are functionally motivated rather than the result of stylistics or random variation. Through innovative methodologies and a meaning-based framework informed by William Diver’s linguistic theory, the book sharply departs from prevailing paradigms, offering a unique perspective on how word order reflects the semantic organization of Spanish.
Semantic Distinctions in Spanish Word Order will appeal to scholars, students, and educators in Spanish language, Hispanic linguistics, grammatical theory, and semantics. It also serves as a valuable resource for graduate and undergraduate courses, bridging the gap between theoretical insight and practical analysis.
