Abstract:

Based on empirical data from five classical texts, this study investigates
flexibility of parts of speech in Classical Chinese. The findings suggest that
flexibility in a parts-of-speech system can only be fully understood by
integrating a wide range of aspects. The components needed to account for it
include constructions, semantics, metonymies, metaphors, pragmatic
implicatures – and world knowledge as reflected within a given culture.
