Abstract

VARGASVIQUEZ, Silvia. Pattern of use of grammatical mechanisms of reference by students of Spanish as a second language. Káñina [online]. 2018, vol.42, n.2, pp.45-70. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v42i2.34348.

Data comparison presented in this article is demarcated within a research project on acquisition of “referent” mechanisms in SSL in the three levels of proficiency according to ACTFL (2001). Those referential forms are: a common noun with indefinite determinant, a proper noun, a third-person singular noun and their corresponding possessive determinants and an anaphora zero. The results from non-native samples are compared with those obtained by analyzing a corpus of native speakers of Spanish.

Keywords : acquisition; second languages; referents; coherence; cohesion.
