This is an investigation into the grammaticalized system of
focus-background agreement in Mandarin Chinese. The particles cai,
jiu, dou and ye are, in a specific use type, shown to form the core
of a highly systematic paradigm. This book is not just a valuable
companion for anyone interested in core aspects of Mandarin Chinese
grammar. It caters for the interests of theoretical linguists as
well as for linguists from other fields with an interest in
information-structure, focus and contrastive topics, and
quantification. The outstanding characteristic of this book, viz.
its effortless integration of findings from formal semantics
without heavy formal load, makes it rewarding reading both for
linguists with a less formal background, and for researchers with
some knowledge of formal semantics.
