This extensive Spanish language reference explains the logic behind more than 3,000 frequently used verb phrases and combinations that make Spanish speech sound native. Each entry includes a definition of the phrase including its register, synonyms, antonyms, complementary expressions, grammatical patterns, and examples of how the combinations are used in easy and difficult structures. Most entries also point out other factors to be taken into account, such as whether an expression is to be used in isolation, after explaining a cause, or if it shouldn't be used at the beginning of a sentence. The book presents generative patterns for combinations based on conceptual metaphors and grammar structures, details families of expressions as separate charts, and contains an index by complement. Featuring a wide range of varieties of Spanish, this volume includes both peninsular and New World Spanish and draws on both written and spoken corpora. Based on sound research in cognitive linguistics and written entirely in Spanish, this valuable reference will be useful to advanced students of Spanish, teachers of Spanish, translators, and writers.

Reviews for 3,000 Locuciones Verbales Y Combinaciones Frecuentes
A highly useful reference work for advanced learners, as well as teachers and translators. It could also prove valuable for native speakers of Spanish who wish to improve their style... Pedagogically sound, thorough and very practical. The level of detail and clarity of explanations are commendable. It will prove an invaluable tool for learning vocabulary in context, understanding and producing oral and written texts in Spanish, and translating. Bulletin of Spanish Studies
