Résumé : This study analyses the possible influence of morphosyntactic knowledge on the spelling of a transparent orthographic system such as Spanish. A three situation classification where the grammatical knowledge could influence the spelling of opaque orthographic systems is used: a) deciding between two or more acceptable spelling sequences; b) spelling silent morphemes; c) conventional spellings for morphemes which flout letter-sound correspondence rules. It is observed that two out of three situations could be applied to Spanish, mainly due to the singularities of some Spanish region speakers and to the existence of inconsistent graphonemes. It is ascertained that there is almost not evidence about the connection between morphosyntactic knowledge and spelling. A theoretical frame for this kind of studies is provided. The analysis of this relationship concerns the lexical knowledge versus rule knowledge debate, and that of the general spelling mechanisms as opposed to contingent mechanisms that are dependent on the orthographic system structure itself.
