Taming "ser" and "estar" with Predicate Adjectives.
Franco, Fabiola; Steinmetz, Donald
Hispania, v69 n2 p377-86 May 1986
Expands and develops the theory of "ser" and "estar" with predicate adjectives which was first presented in "Hispania" in May 1983. This theory holds that the selection of "ser" or "estar" in constructions with predicate adjectives expresses different types of implied comparisons. (SED)
