Methodology.Modern Chinese Grammar provides a comprehensive coverage of Chinese grammar through the clause-pivot theory and the double triangle approach, first proposed by Fuyi Xing in 1996. Translated into English for the first time, the book is widely regarded by linguists as a seminal text, and ground-breaking in linguistics research. The book contains discussion of the topics which are essential to Chinese grammar, from words and phrases, to complex sentences and sentence groups. It addresses such controversial issues as word class identification, the distinction between words and phrases, and between clauses and complex sentences. The book also shows, through a wealth of examples, how the clause-pivot theory and the double triangle approach can be applied productively in grammatical studies. Modern Chinese Grammar: A Clause-Pivot Theoretical Approach is an essential purchase for researchers and graduate students of Chinese grammar and syntax.Chinese languageGrammarStudy and teachingChinese languageSyntaxChinese languageClausesChinese languageGrammarStudy and teaching.Chinese languageSyntax.Chinese languageClauses.495.15495.15Xing Fuyi646014Yong Wang(College professor),Fangfeng Dong(College professor),OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910150350003321Modern Chinese grammar2055297UNINA
