About this title

Synopsis

This collection presents readers with the main thrust of current research on Chinese languages from the perspective of formal linguistics. Contributors offer in-depth studies of important theoretical issues and contemporary questions, including reflexivity, modifiers and nominal structures, tense, onset change, suffixation, verbal constructions, and first-language acquisition, making this a valuable resource in formal Chinese linguistics today.
