A Research on Functional Grammar of Chinese: Chinese Linguistics

Autor Bojiang Zhang, Mei Fang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 apr 2020
The functional perspective on Chinese syntax has yielded various new achievements since its introduction to Chinese linguistics in the 1980s.
This two-volume set is one of the earliest and most influential works to study the Chinese language using functional grammar. With local Beijing vernacular (Pekingese) as a basis, the information structure and focus structure of the Chinese language are systematically examined. By using written works and recordings from Beijingers, the authors discuss topics such as the relationship between word order and focus, and the distinction between normal focus and contrastive focus.
In addition, the authors also subject the reference and grammatical categories of the Chinese language to a functional scrutiny while discussion of word classes and their functions creatively combines modern linguistic theories and traditional Chinese linguistic theories. This set will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese linguistics and linguistics in general.
