This working definition sets ?middle construction? apart from ?middle voice? in that it can be instantiated by various constructions in Chinese. By scrutinizing these constructions in the framework of Generative Syntax, the book concludes that their formation takes place at the lexical level, without resorting to any syntactic mechanisms and thus that Chinese falls into the category of ?lexical middle languages?, which are in contrast to ?syntactic middle languages?. 410 0$aFrontiers in Chinese Linguistics,$x2522-5308 ;$v2 606 $aSyntax 606 $aChinese language 606 $aSyntax$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N45000 606 $aChinese$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N18000 615 0$aSyntax. 615 0$aChinese language. 615 14$aSyntax. 615 24$aChinese. 676 $a495.15 700 $aXiong$b Jiajuan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0861761 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300568903321 996 $aChinese Middle Constructions$91923123 997 $aUNINA
