This book is the third volume of a four-volume set on modern
Chinese complex sentences, with a focus on adversative complex
sentences and relevant forms. Complex sentences in modern Chinese
are unique in formation and meaning. The author proposes a
tripartite classification of Chinese complex sentences according to
the semantic relationships between the clauses, i.e., coordinate,
causal, and adversative. This volume analyzes representative forms
of adversative type, including the prototype, the clauses linked by
connectives referring to otherwise, the combinations of clause
structures and certain adversative conjunctions or linking adverbs
indicating an adversative relationship, the adversative factors and
relationship in two typical progressive structures, factive
sentences and concessive forms. It also discusses the adversative
type in the broad sense, classifying the different forms and also
analyzing the semantic meaning, pragmatic value, and implications
for research and language teaching. The book will be a useful
reference for scholars and learners of the Chinese language
interested in Chinese grammar and language information processing.
