First of all, a summary of her basic grammar concepts and specific aspects of her explorations into the grammar of Spanish is presented. Then, a brief description of her work on norm and speech is included, alongside her main ideas on the tensions between tradition and innovation, language unity and diversity. The final section is a review of some of the texts that illustrate Kovacci¡¯s work on language learning and the teaching of grammar. The section ends with an analysis of Propuesta acerca de los Contenidos B¨¢sicos Comunes: Lengua (1996), a text that is quite unknown among Kovacci¡¯s works. %K Ofelia Kovacci %K Linguistic concepts %K Teaching of grammar %K Language variation. %U http://www.rahl.com.ar/Revistas/I%20-%202011/ciapuscio%20et%20al-RAHL-%281%292011.pdf
