Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the syntactic information provided, both explicitly and implicitly, in three monolingual dictionaries for learning Spanish as a second language, published in the last twenty years, taking as a study example the treatment of the verbs ser and estar in these publications. The analysis will be carried out taking into account aspects such as the organization of the lexicographic article, the presence and value of the information provided, the adaptation to the ELE teaching curriculum, and the type of characteristics (notional, distributional, pragmatic) that have been considered to describe and distinguish the peculiarities of ser and estar.
