Spanish grammar source

[Silliman, Elaine]

We are completing a study on Spanish-English narrative production in 9-11
year old children. Berman and Slobin (1994) have been helpful for certain of
our analyses. However, finding a useful (i.e., functional) source on Spanish
syntax, specifically, non-clausal forms, has been more difficult. For
example, modals do not exist in Spanish but functions similar to English
modals do exist. Many sources we have researched are old, just to cite one
difficulty. Any assistance with resources would be very much appreciated.
