En un rincón del alma is divided into thirty nine chapters more the prologue and the epilogue.
The story takes place in Spain and in Egipt and the main character is Jimena, who relates her life, in the form of a letter to her mother.
The thesis consists of three parts. The first one is the original text of the novel, the second part is the translation of the novel and the third part is divided into four chapters and is about the analysis.

Finally, last chapter consists of an analysis and a commentary from the morfosyntactic point of view, justifying morfosyntactic choises.
