Taming "ser" and "estar" with Predicate Adjectives.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Franco, Fabiola; Steinmetz, Donald – Hispania, 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)

A Deeper Look at the Grammar and Some Implications of "Ser" and "Estar" + Locative in Spanish.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Franco, Fabiola; Steinmetz, Donald – Hispania, 1985
Argues that the explanation of the use of "ser" and "estar" with locatives presented in the March 1984 issue of "Hispania" derives so directly from a theory of universal grammar because it is indicative of the explanatory adequacy of Case Grammar or of other, comparable theories of the deeper levels of linguistic structure.
