The authors are indigenous and/or have been participants in the language planning context. Fiji and Vanuatu are not well represented in the international language policy/planning literature, while the section on the Philippines draws together the published literature in this area. The purpose of the volumes in this series is to present up-to-date information on polities that are not well-known to researchers in the field. A longer range purpose is to collect comparable information on as many polities as possible in order to facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities that undertake the development of a national policy on languages. This volume is part of an areal series which is committed to providing descriptions of language planning and policy in countries around the world.Language Planning & Policy S.Language planningPacific AreaLanguage policyPacific AreaElectronic books.Language planningLanguage policy306.44/91823Baldauf Richard B.1943-1028245Kaplan Robert B115348MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450982403321Fiji, the Philippines, and Vanuatu2444174UNINA02689oam 2200541I 450 991016504550332120240505202221.01-315-28063-91-315-28065-510.4324/9781315280653 (CKB)3710000001060456(MiAaPQ)EBC4809822(OCoLC)974666844(EXLCZ)99371000000106045620180706d2017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe interfaces of Chinese syntax with semantics and pragmatics /Yicheng Wu1st ed.London ;New York :Routledge,2017.1 online resource (231 pages)Routledge Studies in Chinese Linguistics1-138-24132-6 1-315-28064-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Conclusion.The Interfaces of Chinese Syntax with Semantics and Pragmatics provides an in-depth exploration of a variety of interface phenomena in Chinese, a non-inflectional language, where to a large extent word order constrains its interpretation and defines its grammatical functions. Under the Dynamic Syntax approach, which takes the incremental left-to-right processing of linguistic forms to be a fundamental part of characterizing the relation between syntactic structure and semantic interpretation, a straightforward explanation is provided. The study features detailed analysis of a range of key grammatical constructions such as topic, passive, copular and cleft, where previous analyses were sought in pure syntactic, semantic or pragmatic terms.Routledge studies in Chinese linguistics.Chinese languageSyntaxChinese languageGrammarChinese languageSemanticsPragmaticsChinese languageSyntax.Chinese languageGrammar.Chinese languageSemantics.Pragmatics.495.15Wu Yicheng.993261MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910165045503321The interfaces of Chinese syntax with semantics and pragmatics2274326UNINA
