FONSECA MENDOZA, Clara Inés. Functional grammar and the development of intercultural skills on the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. Colomb. Appl. Linguist. J. [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.2, pp.303-312. ISSN 0123-4641.  https://doi.org/10.14483/udistrital.jour.calj.2014.2.a11.

The purpose of this document is to describe a discourse analysis, based on functional grammar (FG), as an approach to intercultural competence in the Spanish as a foreign language classroom. This alluded to the complementary relationship between language and culture emphasizing what to say about the "other" and how to say it. FG could provide an "objective" data culture analysis as it has to do with language used on different texts and contexts; so the descriptions of language systems are integrally related with the descriptions of social contexts. As an illustration, we will describe the social actors and the verbal processes on a lyric of "vallenato", and their contextualization on Colombian Caribbean's gender relations.
