This book is a four-volume study on modern Chinese complex
sentences, giving an overview and detailed analysis on the key
attributes and three major types of this linguistic unit. 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. The first
volume defines Chinese complex sentences and makes detailed
comparisons between the tripartite and dichotomous systems for the
classification of complex sentences. It then thoroughly
investigates causal complex sentences in their eight typical forms.
The second volume analyses the coordinated type in the broad sense
and the relevant forms, while the third focuses on adversative
type, examining the major forms and implications for research and
language teaching. The final volume looks into attributes of
Chinese complex sentences as a whole, discussing the constituents,
related sentence forms, and semantic and pragmatic relevance of
complex sentences. The book will be a useful reference for scholars
and learners of the Chinese language interested in Chinese grammar
and language information processing.
This book is the final volume of a four-volume set on modern
Chinese complex sentences, assessing the key attributes, related
sentence structures, and semantic and pragmatic relevance of
complex sentences. Complex sentences in modern Chinese are unique
in formation and meaning. Following on from analysis on coordinate,
causal, and adversative types of complex sentences, the ten
chapters in this volume review the characteristics of complex
sentences as a whole. The author discusses the constituents,
related structures, semantic and pragmatic aspects of complex
sentences, covering topics such !!as the constraints and
counter-constraints between sentence forms and semantic
relationships, six type crossover markers, distinctions between
simple sentences and complex sentences, clauses formed by a
noun/nominal phrase followed by le, the shi structure, subject
ellipsis or tacit understanding of clauses, as well as
double-subject sentences, alternative question groups and their
relationships with complex sentences. The book will be a useful
reference for scholars and learners of the Chinese language
interested in Chinese grammar and language information processing.
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.
