| Research Abstract |
This project aims at analyzing the syntactic aspect of the Spanish language from the standpoint of linguistic variation. In five Latin American countries, Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Argentine and Chile, we have carried out our questionnaires containing about 110 questions concerning syntactic problems of great importance such as voice, reflexive pronoun, mood, personal pronouns, concordance, prepositions, eta. The number of subjects examined amounts to 100. In the last year of our project we were able to compare the results with those we had obtained from our last survey that we had realized in nine cities of Spain.
