The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Linguistics offers a broad and
comprehensive coverage of the entire field from a
multi-disciplinary perspective. All chapters are contributed by
leading scholars in their respective areas. This Handbook contains
eight sections: history, languages and dialects, language contact,
morphology, syntax, phonetics and phonology, socio-cultural aspects
and neuro-psychological aspects. It provides not only a diachronic
view of how languages evolve, but also a synchronic view of how
languages in contact enrich each other by borrowing new words,
calquing loan translation and even developing new syntactic
structures. It also accompanies traditional linguistic studies of
grammar and phonology with empirical evidence from psychology and
neurocognitive sciences. In addition to research on the Chinese
language and its major dialect groups, this handbook covers studies
on sign languages and non-Chinese languages, such as the
Austronesian languages spoken in Taiwan.
