La capacidad imaginativa es innata, pero la técnica para redactar puede adquirirse. Con este trabajo se pretende advertir de los errores morfosintácticos y de las desviaciones léxicas y estilísticas más frecuentes en el español actual a los posibles lectores, alumnos de los últimos años de bachillerato, de la universidad, profesionales y personas preocupadas por la lengua, a la vez que facilitarles los mecanismos necesarios para su corrección. Para ello se recogen los vicios lingüísticos más usuales, se explica el porqué de su incorrección y se formula su buen uso. En vez de partir de planteamientos teóricos previos, se ha preferido hacerlo del empleo que los hablantes del español hacen de su idioma, por lo que se ha recurrido a un conjunto muy amplio de textos escritos (literarios, periodísticos, jurídicos, administrativos, científicos, etc.), al lenguaje oral utilizado en los medios de comunicación audiovisuales y a ejemplos extraídos de la conversación cotidiana. La catalogación de los errores se completa con algunas pautas técnicas para la redacción y normas para la presentación de textos, centrados, especialmente por el tipo de público al que va dirigido el libro, en la elaboración de los trabajos a los que se tiene que enfrentar el alumno en su vida académica. Al final de este manual, dado su carácter didáctico, se incluyen una serie de ejercicios sobre las diversas materias tratadas. De esta manera, el lector podrá comprobar si ha asimilado correctamente los aspectos teóricos expuestos a lo largo de los distintos capítulos del libro.

Language standardization is an ongoing process based on the notions of linguistic correctness and models. This manual contains thirty-six chapters that deal with the theories of linguistic norms and give a comprehensive up-to-date description and analysis of the standardization processes in the Romance languages. The first section presents the essential approaches to the concept of linguistic norm ranging from antiquity to the present, and includes individual chapters on the notion of linguistic norms and correctness in classical grammar and rhetoric, in the Prague School, in the linguistic theory of Eugenio Coseriu, in sociolinguistics as well as in pragmatics, cognitive and discourse linguistics. The second section focuses on the application of these notions with respect to the Romance languages. It examines in detail the normative grammar and the normative dictionary as the reference tools for language codification and modernization of those languages that have a long and well-established written tradition, i.e. Romanian, Italian, French, Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese. Furthermore, the volume offers a discussion of the key issues regarding the standardization of the ‘minor’ Romance languages as well as Creoles.
