Abstract
Multidimensionality is a property of grammatical phenomena which describes the connection between clusters of meaning and syntactic expressions. Based on the principle that syntax builds meaning, the following article deals with the correct approach to the usage of seit and während in the DaF class, in order to discuss and propose their equivalents in Spanish. We suggest that the proper use of seit(dem) and während should become a relevant teaching topic, as a satisfactory description in grammatical manuals is still pending. With the speakers’ needs in mind, we then proceed to suggest explanatory approaches to the problem areas which will make DaF learners aware of their correct use by the means of the basic principles of construction grammar.
