This book presents new perspectives on the study of Aspect and
Modality in Chinese Historical Linguistics. Based on the
international Workshop on Aspect and Modality in Chinese, the book
includes the latest research findings in the field to make them
available not only to specialists in Classical and Buddhist
Chinese, but also to researchers and students of general
linguistics and of the universals of language. It also discusses
different aspects of the AM (Aspect-Modality) and the TAM
(Tense-Aspect-Modality) system of Chinese. It provides a
comprehensive overview of both of the universally related systems
of aspect and modality. The first part of the book focuses on
aspectual features of Chinese; these include basic studies on the
syntactic representation of the aspectual structure of the verb
phrase in Archaic Chinese, the aspectual function of different
object constructions and their development, temporal features of
the verb phrase, and the aspectual functions of no minalization
processes. The second part includes articles highlighting different
aspects of the modal system or the interplay between tense, aspect
and modality in Chinese, including a survey on the history of
studies on modality in Chinese and the modal and temporal
aspectual/markers indicating future meanings, a specialized study
on modal deontic verbs in the Buddhist Vinaya texts, the modal
function of rhetorical questions in Buddhist Chinese, and a study
on the diachronic development of the aspectual and modal system in
Chinese.
