Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese offers a comprehensive
survey on the fine structure of the sentence peripheral domain in
Mandarin Chinese from a cartographic perspective. Different
functional projections hosting sentence-final particles, implicit
operators and other informational components are hierarchically
ordered according to the "Subjectivity Scale Constraint"
functioning at syntax-discourse interface. Three questions will be
essentially addressed: What is the order? How to determine such an
order? Why such an order? This research not only gives a thorough
examination of the peripheral elements in Chinese but also improves
the general understanding of the ordering issue in the
left-periphery crosslinguistically. This book is aimed at scholars
interested in Chinese syntax or generative syntax.
