Sommario/riassunto

This book is a cutting-edge exploration of Chinese syntactic complexity by introducing a Chinese-language-specific approach, and providing a clear rationale and methodology for gauging syntactic complexity development along proficiency increase. It informs research and practice on assessment, proficiency scale and rubric descriptors, and task design for different language performances. This book appeals to a broad audience of researchers, not only those focused on Chinese and other Asian languages but also linguists, applied linguists,



and language educators interested in understanding and measuring complexity.
