Conclusion. 330 $aThe Interfaces of Chinese Syntax with Semantics and Pragmatics provides an in-depth exploration of a variety of interface phenomena in Chinese, a non-inflectional language, where to a large extent word order constrains its interpretation and defines its grammatical functions. Under the Dynamic Syntax approach, which takes the incremental left-to-right processing of linguistic forms to be a fundamental part of characterizing the relation between syntactic structure and semantic interpretation, a straightforward explanation is provided. The study features detailed analysis of a range of key grammatical constructions such as topic, passive, copular and cleft, where previous analyses were sought in pure syntactic, semantic or pragmatic terms. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in Chinese linguistics. 606 $aChinese language$xSyntax 606 $aChinese language$xGrammar 606 $aChinese language$xSemantics 606 $aPragmatics 615 0$aChinese language$xSyntax. 615 0$aChinese language$xGrammar. 615 0$aChinese language$xSemantics. 615 0$aPragmatics. 676 $a495.15 700 $aWu$b Yicheng.$0993261 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165045503321 996 $aThe interfaces of Chinese syntax with semantics and pragmatics$92274326 997 $aUNINA
