Monografie sleduje interjazykový soubor českých a slovenských studentů španělštiny na Filozofické fakultě Masarykovy univerzity. Zaměřuje se na rozbor chyb v psaném projevu a klade si za cíl odhalit jejich stereotypní zaužívanost a vývoj v průběhu bakalářského studia. Výzkum vychází z esejí zpracovaných v rámci předmětu jazykového semináře I–IV (2014–2017). Všechny lexikální a gramatické chyby byly klasifikovány, a byla tak vytvořena „gramatika chyb“. Většina chyb vykazuje univerzální učební strategie bez ohledu na mateřský jazyk studentů. Vliv českého a slovenského jazyka je více patrný u chyb lexikálních, které jsou způsobeny odlišnými interferenencemi, výpůjčkami a faux amis. Další rozdílností slovenských studentů oproti českým je větší rozsah jejich esejí. Písemný projev slovenských studentů je odvážnější také ve výběru složitějších jazykových struktur.

In this novel of family history and myth, Christina Garcia gives us Reina and Constancia Aguero, sisters who grew up in Cuba, but who haven't talked in thirty years--not since Constancia snuck out of Cuba and crossed the water to the United States, where she assimilated into her adopted country's culture as completely and deeply as she could. The beautiful and charismatic Reina, meanwhile, stayed in Cuba where she became a skilled electrician and a staunch supporter of la revolucion. The long-estranged sisters are finally heading toward a reunion, and as they come together their own stories and the legacy of their scientist-parents is told and retold in an elegantly written novel that investigates the several natures of identity--personal, familial, and even national.
