Reference Materials

Valuable Tools

One of many advantages of using the Internet for reading and studying literary texts is that one can easily have a number of reference tools online and minimized at the bottom of the screen to access when needed.
  • Diccionarios.com
    This is the very best Spanish dictionary on the Web, providing a number of handy features all on one site: a complete Spanish dictionary, a synonym dictionary, a Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary, and even Catalan and French dictionaries! Although this site does require a registration fee, registered members gain access to more features.
    Diccionarios.com

  • Diccionario Literario
    A thorough Spanish dictionary of literary terms.

  • Glossary of Literary Theory
    The University of Toronto's dictionary of literary terms and critical theory, in English, is far superior to what I have been able to locate in Spanish.

  • Lenguaje.com
    For writing essays, SIGNUM's site has a number of handy features, including a tool for checking Spanish spelling, an easy to use verb conjugator, and a synonym dictionary.
    Lenguaje.com

  • Enciclonet
    Students will also find it handy to have instant access to a Spanish encyclopedia, but in order to use Enciclonet they will have to submit a free registration form. The process is well worth the effort, for this site claims to be the largest encyclopedic database on the Internet! With these resources on hand, the student will quickly be able to look up words, terminology, references, and the like.
