Cusachs, Carlos Valerien (1874-1934-¿?)
Carlos Valerien Cusachs
Vida
Apenas se conservan datos acerca de la vida de Carlos Valerien Cusachs más allá de los referidos a su año de nacimiento, 1874, y los consagrados en sus publicaciones. Así, sabemos que Cusachs debió ser profesor de español en la Academia naval de los Estados Unidos en torno a los años de 1903 y 1910.
Una de las primeras publicaciones que conocemos de Cusachs es un curso elemental de español destinado al aprendizaje de la pronunciación en doce lecciones con sus correspondientes grabaciones recopiladas por el propio autor, que fue publicada bajo el título de Elementary course in Spanish pronunciation: Twelve lessons and twelve records (1903). También entre sus obras enmarcadas en el ámbito gramatical hispánico, encontramos la obra que el profesor creó junto al también docente de español y de francés Thatcher Clark (1876-1922-¿?) para la enseñanza del español a los oficiales del rango de guardiamarina de la Academia naval estadounidense, Verbos y notas gramaticales. La obra se compone de quince apartados centrados exclusivamente en la explicación de la categoría gramatical de los verbos, y se completa con una extensa lista de verbos ordenados alfabéticamente. De fecha posterior, sería otra obra que Cusachs publicó junto a Max Russell Brunstetter (1902-1934-¿?) para la enseñanza de la pronunciación y de la dicción en español, Introduction to Spanish pronunciation and diction: a manual for the Erpi Spanish pronunciation and diction records. Más allá de estas obras gramaticales, encontramos entre las publicaciones de Cusachs una edición de Pepita Jiménez de Juan Valera (1824-1905), basada en la de 1898, con notas y un vocabulario final español-inglés que abarca más de un centenar de páginas.
