As with many other languages, Mandarin Chinese exhibits a rich
variety of ways in expressing the arguments of the predicator in a
sentence. Unlike other languages, such variation is typically
devoid of any formal marking. Previous attempts in explaining such
phenomena usually focus on the syntax as an explanatory tool. The
main purpose of this book is to argue that many of such argument
structure phenomena are better accounted for by recourse to
enriched representations in lexical semantics. Drawing insights
from conceptual semantics, cognitive semantics, Generative Lexicon,
construction grammar and formal syntax, this book constitutes the
first attempt at a comprehensive account of lexical semantic issues
in Mandarin Chinese.
