Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language in the
world, and has a rich social, cultural and historical background.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the linguistic structure of
Chinese, providing an accessible introduction to each of the key
areas. It describes the fundamentals of its writing system, its
pronunciation and tonal sound system, its morphology (how words are
structured), and its syntax (how sentences are formed) - as well as
its historical development, and the diverse ways in which it
interacts with other languages. Setting the discussion of all
aspects of Chinese firmly within the context of the language in
use, Chinese: A Linguistic Introduction will be of great benefit to
learners wishing to extend their knowledge and competence in the
language, and their teachers. It will also be a useful starting
point for students of linguistics beginning work on the structure
of this major world language.
