Deconstructing the Library of Babel: Analysis of linguistic complexity in Spanish graded readers and literary works
Graded readers (GRs) are a popular language-learning resource, as they provide contextualized input adapted to any level. Still, their creation process is non-systematic and their quantity is limited. This article investigates, firstly, the progression of linguistic complexity in a series of Spanish GRs of consecutive levels, and secondly, whether literary works (LWs) targeted at specific age groups of L1 speakers exhibit a similar gradation, thu…
Qué significa enseñar y aprender español para fines específicos? La (in)descriptibilidad en los usos específicos de la lengua
Definir y explicar qué significa la especificidad en el uso de la lengua para su enseñanza-aprendizaje constituye una acción comunicativa compleja, dada la falta de acuerdo en la delimitación del término. En este campo, llevamos a cabo un análisis del discurso de las definiciones y explicaciones que ofrecen 20 docentes expertos en la enseñanza del español para fines específicos (EFE) acerca del concepto de especificidad. Los resultados del anális…

Within the context of academic training, we take a broad view of writing supervision along a continuum that comprises digital feedback on…

Oral discourse competence-in-performance: Analysing learner dialogues
Mastering a language implies being able to deploy a wide variety of speech genres ( Bakhtin 1952–1953 ). However, the features which define these genres are often obscure to students or ‘occluded’ in the sense used by Swales (1996) . In this paper, nine dialogues between B1-level French learners in the context of an oral exam are analysed in order to describe the degree of dialogic competence-in-performance ( Weigand 2017 ) achieved. Because thes…
Discourse analysis of statements of purpose: Connecting academic and professional genres
As a discourse genre, statements of purpose are characterized by their occluded status in the academy and by their hybrid nature. Statements of purpose are required in applications for a place in a postgraduate course (Master’s degree or doctorate), and they are requested to obtain information about the academic and professional background and skills of each applicant. A study of the genre’s linguistic and textual features is needed in Spanish to…
