Prosodic Syntax in Chinese: Theory and Facts (Chinese Linguistics)

Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description: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 can 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 the 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 has investigated the existence of SOV structures in Early Archaic Chinese, a SVO language, and then demonstrated the role of VO prosody in causing the disappearance of the remnant structures after Han Dynasty. On the other hand, this book has surveyed the historical evidence for analyses of bei passives and Ba-constructions, and then offered 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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
