Abstract:

The Chinese language has the longest well-documented history among all
human languages, making it an invaluable resource for studying how
languages develop and change through time. Based on a twenty-year long
research project, this pioneering book is the English version of an
award-winning study originally published in Chinese. It provides an
evolutionary perspective on the history of Chinese grammar, tracing
its development from its thirteenth-Century BC origins to the present
day. It investigates all the major changes in the history of the
language within contemporary linguistic frameworks, and illustrates
these with a wide range of examples taken from every stage in the
language's development, showing how the author's findings are relevant
to contemporary descriptive, theoretical, and historical linguistics.
Shedding light on the essential properties of Chinese and, ultimately,
language in general, it is essential reading for academic researchers
and students of Asian linguistics, historical linguistics and
syntactic theory.
