In the two volumes of Prosodic Syntax in Chinese, the author
develops a new model, which proposes that the interaction between
syntax and prosody is bi-directional and that prosody not only
constrains syntactic structures but also activates syntactic
operations. All of the facts investigated in Chinese provide new
perspectives for linguistic theories as well as insights into the
nature of human languages. The subtitles of the two volumes are
Theory and Facts and History and Change respectively, with each
focusing on different topics (though each volume has both
theoretical and historical descriptive concerns). This book has
shown that prosody has played a crucial role in triggering the many
changes in the diachronic development of Chinese. On the one hand,
this book investigates the existence of SOV structures in Early
Archaic Chinese, a SVO language, and then demonstrates the role of
VO prosody in causing the disappearance of the remnant structures
after the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, this book surveys the
historical evidence for analyses of bei passives and
Ba-constructions, and then offers a prosodic analysis on the origin
of these two sentence patterns in Chinese. It is claimed that
prosody can be an important factor in triggering, balancing and
finally terminating changes in the syntactic evolution of Chinese.

the author first introduces the relevant theories and concepts of
Metrical Phonology, Prosodic Phonology and Formal Syntax, and
formulates the Government-based Nuclear Stress Rule in Chinese
which can explain how and why Mandarin Chinese sentences are
structured in a particular way. It is proposed that prosody can not
only blocks the legitimate syntactic structures but also activates
the potential syntactic operations. The former can be seen from the
ungrammatical sentences that are caused by the inoperable NSR in
these structures while the latter can be seen from sentences that
are derived from syntactic movements which, however, are operable
only when being motivated by prosody.
