The article studies the linguistic mechanisms that indicate the structural (syntactic) extension of the sentence in modern Spanish, which in special studies is unreasonably associated with the phenomenon of redundancy. We analyze the works of Russian and foreign hispanists, which appeared from the 70s of the 20 th c. up to the present time. Most of them, written in the context of the phenomenon of linguistic expressivity (as a spontaneous reflection of the affectivity of the speaker / writer), can be considered as separate components of the paradigm of language patterns of extension. The collected material proves that the resources of language extension, being the strategic pillars of communication, do not express (in many cases) the affectivity of the speaking / writing subject, contrary to a popular belief. A significant range of linguistic formations that explicate the phenomenon of the structural extension of the Spanish sentence consists of four types of models that have been poorly studied up to the present time and are mainly qualified as elements of the lexical or phraseological levels in the Spanish studies. These four types are the following: 1) lexical / syntagmatic units that contribute to the communicative extension of the beginning, middle, or end of the sentence; 2) сonstructions of paraphrasing the nuclear components of the sentence; 3) constructions of lexical and syntactic reduplication; 4) constructions of the syntactic emphasis.
Guillermo J. de Osma (1853–1922) was the first Spaniard to study at Oxford after the Universities Tests Act 1871 opened the ancient universities of England to non-Anglicans. Known in his time as a diplomat, politician, art collector, and scholar, Osma established the first Spanish studentship and modern endowment at Oxford—the de Osma Studentship—in 1920. The Studentship has been held by many distinguished Oxford-trained Hispanists over the past hundred years. Yet, despite his active role in Spanish public and cultural life, his unique links with Oxford and his contribution to twentieth-century British–Spanish relations, today, Osma is a little-known figure in the Spanish-speaking world and remains virtually unknown in Anglophone countries. This article is based on previously unseen Spanish and British archival material, interviews and correspondence with de Osma Studentship holders from several generations, and testimonies shared at the celebration of the de Osma Centenary held in Oxford, which was a direct result of the research undertaken here. Drawing on this material, the article traces some of the cultural and academic implications of the establishment of the de Osma Studentship, revealing the untold story of its origins and development.

Disability Studies and Spanish Culture is the first book to apply the tenets of Disability Studies to the Spanish context. In particular, this work is an important corrective to existing cultural studies of disability in Spain that tend to largely ignore intellectual disabilities. Taking on the representation of Down syndrome, autism, alexia/agnosia as well as childhood disability, its chapters combine close readings of a number of Spanish cultural products (films, novels, the comic/graphic novel and the public exhibition) with a broader socio-cultural take on the state of disability in Spain. While researchers and students of cinema will be particularly interested in the book's detailed analyses of the formal aspects of the films, comics, and novels discussed, readers from backgrounds in history, political science and sociology will all be able to appreciate discussions of contemporary legislation, advocacy groups, cultural perceptions, models of social integration and more.
