These forty walks in England's glorious Lake District will take you
to a range of lakes, peaks, rivers, tarns and waterfalls and
introduce you to the haunts of many of the writers and poets who
have loved and celebrated the area and made it such a strong
cultural as well as natural attraction. Each walk has its own
distinctive mood and character and is easily accomplished in an
afternoon or in a long summer evening. None of them scale the
highest mountains but they will take you to many lakeshores and
several of the lower peaks, which regardless of their height,
provide immense views and the satisfaction of reaching a summit.
Chinese Syntax in a Cross-linguistic Perspective is a collection of
sixteen original papers by leading experts in Chinese syntax. The
papers focus on a broad range of topics, demonstrating how the
analysis of Chinese can inform our understanding of syntactic
phenomena in other languages, and how insights gained in the study
of other languages can in turn shed interesting new light on
patterns in Chinese. Each chapter compares a specific major
phenomenon in Chinese syntax with related patterns in at least one
other language from Asia, Europe, North America or Africa,
resulting in a series of fresh perspectives on Chinese and what the
study of Chinese can offer linguists working on other, genetically
unrelated languages.
The volume is divided into three thematic sections, on the nominal
domain, the predicate domain, and the C-domain. In addition to
chapters on synchronic, adult syntax, the book includes chapters on
Chinese diachronic syntax in a comparative perspective and the
acquisition of syntax in Chinese, in comparison with that of other
languages. The collection is a tribute to Professor C.-T. James
Huang's lifelong work on the syntax of Chinese and his attempts to
demonstrate how the comparative analysis of Chinese reveals
important properties of Universal Grammar. With its broad,
cross-linguistic focus and its detailed, new studies of Chinese,
this book is essential reading for researchers of all language
backgrounds in modern generative syntax.
