Abstract:

The linguistic study of Chinese, with its rich morphological, syntactic and
prosodic/tonal structures, its complex writing system, and its diverse
socio-historical background, is already a long-established and vast research
area. With contributions from internationally renowned experts in the field,
this Handbook provides a state-of-the-art survey of the central issues in
Chinese linguistics. Chapters are divided into four thematic areas: writing
systems and the neuro-cognitive processing of Chinese, morpho-lexical
structures, phonetic and phonological characteristics, and issues in syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, and discourse.  By following a context-driven approach,
it shows how theoretical issues in Chinese linguistics can be resolved with
empirical evidence and argumentation, and provides a range of different
perspectives. Its dialectical design sets a state-of-the-art benchmark for
research in a wide range of interdisciplinary and cross-lingual studies
involving the Chinese language. It is an essential resource for students and
researchers wishing to explore the fascinating field of Chinese linguistics.
