Resumen:
Contrastive Grammar: A handout is to introduce the student taking the translation course at Facultad de Lenguas (U.N.C) to the contents included in the syllabus of Contrastive Grammar. Although all the students taking this course have had previous instruction in both English and Spanish grammar, they have had little or no contact with Contrastive Linguistics. Comparing two languages in contact- English and Spanish in this case- is vital when it comes to assisting students in identifying important differences between their native language (L1) and their target language (L2), since such differences will affect their translations sometimes ´positively´ but most of the times ´negatively´. Our intention is, then, to provide the students with a handout that will bring together a descriptive grammar of the two languages. does not intend to be a complete review of all the existing cross-linguistic differences between English and Spanish but one that will combine basic theoretical information and varied practice on the main disparate structures that constitute the most frequent source of negative interference.
