This monograph is a translation of two seminal works on
corpus-based studies of Mandarin Chinese words and parts of speech.
The original books were published as two pioneering technical
reports by Chinese Knowledge and Information Processing group
(CKIP) at Academia Sinica in 1993 and 1996, respectively. Since
then, the standard and PoS tagset proposed in the CKIP report have
become the de facto standard in Chinese corpora and computational
linguistics, in particular in the context of traditional Chinese
texts. This new translation represents and develops the principles
and theories originating from these pioneering works. The results
can be applied to numerous fields; Chinese syntax and semantics,
lexicography, machine translation and other language engineering
bound applications. Suitable for graduate and scholars in the
fields of linguistics and Chinese, Mandarin Chinese Words and Parts
of Speech provides a comprehensive survey of the issues around
wordhood and PoS. Chapter 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and the
appendixes V-VII of this book is freely available as a downloadable

The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Applied Linguistics is written
for those wanting to acquire comprehensive knowledge of China, the
diaspora and the Sino-sphere communities through Chinese language.
It examines how Chinese language is used in different contexts, and
how the use of Chinese language affects culture, society,
expression of self and persuasion of others; as well as how
neurophysiological aspects of language disorder affect how we
function and how the advance of technology changes the way the
Chinese language is used and perceived. The Handbook concentrates
on the cultural, societal and communicative characteristics of the
Chinese language environment. Focusing on language use in action,
in context and in vivo, this book intends to lay empirical grounds
for collaboration and synergy among different fields.

Based on the accumulation of research experience and knowledge over
the past 30 years, this volume lays out the research issues posed
by the construction of various types of Chinese language resources,
how they were resolved, and the implication of the solutions for
future Chinese language processing research. This volume covers 30
years of development in Chinese language processing, focusing on
the impact of conscientious decisions by some leading research
groups. It focuses on constructing language resources, which led to
thriving research and development of expertise in Chinese language
technology today. Contributions from more than 40 leading scholars
from various countries explore how Chinese language resources are
used in current pioneering NLP research, the future challenges and
their implications for computational and theoretical linguistics.

Written for beginning learners of the language, this concise
introduction to Chinese grammar assumes only a basic knowledge of
Chinese, and no knowledge of grammatical terminology and practices.
Comparing Chinese grammar patterns and rules with those of English,
and illustrated with a wealth of real-life examples, it allows
learners to understand the similarities and differences between the
two languages. Using engaging and accessible language, it examines
the Chinese sound system, writing system, word formation rules,
parts of speech, and simple and complex sentences, as well as
explaining special constructions that are typically challenging to
second language learners. Each chapter begins with clear learning
goals and ends with a useful summary highlighting the chapter's
main points. To call attention to specific issues, sidebars are
interspersed throughout the text, and exercises within the book and
online answer keys help students to reinforce learned material and
assist with self-study.

The relation between ontologies and language is currently at the
forefront of natural language processing (NLP). Ontologies, as
widely used models in semantic technologies, have much in common
with the lexicon. A lexicon organizes words as a conventional
inventory of concepts, while an ontology formalizes concepts and
their logical relations. A shared lexicon is the prerequisite for
knowledge-sharing through language, and a shared ontology is the
prerequisite for knowledge-sharing through information technology.
In building models of language, computational linguists must be
able to accurately map the relations between words and the concepts
that they can be linked to. This book focuses on the technology
involved in enabling integration between lexical resources and
semantic technologies. It will be of interest to researchers and
graduate students in NLP, computational linguistics, and knowledge
engineering, as well as in semantics, psycholinguistics, lexicology
and morphology/syntax.
The linguistic study of Chinese, with its rich morphological,
syntactic and prosodic/tonal structures, its complex writing
system, and its diverse socio-historical background, is already a
long-established and vast research area. With contributions from
internationally renowned experts in the field, this Handbook
provides a state-of-the-art survey of the central issues in Chinese
linguistics. Chapters are divided into four thematic areas: writing
systems and the neuro-cognitive processing of Chinese,
morpho-lexical structures, phonetic and phonological
characteristics, and issues in syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and
discourse. By following a context-driven approach, it shows how
theoretical issues in Chinese linguistics can be resolved with
empirical evidence and argumentation, and provides a range of
different perspectives. Its dialectical design sets a
state-of-the-art benchmark for research in a wide range of
interdisciplinary and cross-lingual studies involving the Chinese
language. It is an essential resource for students and researchers
wishing to explore the fascinating field of Chinese linguistics.
A Reference Grammar of Chinese is a comprehensive and up-to-date
guide to the linguistic structure of Chinese, covering all of the
important linguistic features of the language and incorporating
insights gained from research in Chinese linguistics over the past
thirty years. With contributions from twenty-two leading Chinese
linguists, this authoritative guide uses large-scale corpora to
provide authentic examples based on actual language use. The
accompanying online example databases ensure that a wide range of
exemplars are readily available and also allow for new usages to be
updated. This design offers a new paradigm for a reference grammar
where generalizations can be cross-checked with additional examples
and also provide resources for both linguistic studies and language
learning. Featuring bilingual term lists, this reference grammar
helps readers to access relevant literature in both English and
Chinese and is an invaluable reference for learners, teachers and
researchers in Chinese linguistics and language processing.
