This book addresses intensification and modal necessity in Mandarin
Chinese. Intensification is used in this book to describe the
speaker's emphasis on a proposition, because, by emphasizing on a
proposition, the speaker intensifies the degree of his/her
confidence and affirmativeness toward the truth of a proposition,
cf. the distinction between 'weaker' and 'stronger'. Modal
necessity discussed in this book refers either to the speaker's
certainty regarding the truth of an inference, judgment or
stipulation, that is, epistemic necessity or to the speaker's
certainty concerning the obligatoriness of a proposition, based on
rules or regulations, i.e., deontic necessity. This book examines a
series of lexical items in Mandarin Chinese that express either
intensification or modal necessity, provides a unified semantics
and also presents how these lexical items are semantically
distinct. Intensification and Modal Necessity in Mandarin Chinese
is aimed at instructors, researchers and post-graduate students of
Chinese Linguistics.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop
proceedings of the 19th Chinese Lexical Semantics Workshop, CLSW
2018, held in Chiayi, Taiwan, in May 2018. The 50 full papers and
19 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and
selected from 150 submissions. They are organized in the following
topical sections: Lexical Semantics; Applications of Natural
Language Processing; Lexical Resources; Corpus Linguistics.
This book discusses how to determine temporal relations between
sentences with aspect markers in a discourse in Mandarin Chinese.
The author examines the four aspect markers in Mandarin Chinese:
the progressive zai, the durative zhe, the perfective le and the
experiential guo. Following Segmented Discourse Representation
Theory, which proposes that temporal relations are determined by
rhetorical relations, the author argues that, based on its
aspectual semantics, an aspect marker indirectly influences
temporal relations in two ways: First, it specifies a defeasible
rhetorical relation, which in turn determines a temporal relation;
second, it sets up a temporal constraint to be obeyed by the
temporal relations specifid by the rhetorical relations which
connect the sentences together.
