The functional perspective on Chinese syntax has yielded various
new achievements since its introduction to Chinese linguistics in
the 1980s. This two-volume book 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 book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese
linguistics and linguistics in general.
