The conference aims to present and analyze the vision of how language works according to Henri Adamczewski's metaoperational theory as applied to Spanish by Francisco Matte Bon. It consists of a theoretical introduction, in which the genesis of this grammar, its different theoretical grounds and a minimum of key concepts are addressed.
Different grammatical phenomena of Spanish as the couples indicative / subjunctive modes, simple / imperfect past tenses, simple present / present continuous, prepositions, lexical unities, word order are treated. For each topic (grammatical and lexical operators as well) a brief description of how they might be practically applied in SFL teaching is provided.
