Manual de redacción y estilo


Book Description

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.
