NEW APPROACHES TO CHINESE WORD FORMATION

This volume examines the composition of multisyllabic words in
Chinese, revealing a wealth of word formation complexity in a
language too often characterized as morphologically impoverished.
The collection of articles is broad both in theoretical approach
and chronology, ranging in topic from the origin and development
of bisyllabic words in Ancient Chinese to the argument structure
and theta-assignment principles in Modern Mandarin compounds. The
wide range of word formation phenomena in Chinese is demonstrated
with examples from dialects as diverse as Mandarin, Shanghai,
Hakka and Taiwanese, as the reader is offered a panoply of new
ideas on Chinese words and their structure.
The book presents novel insights into the formation of complex words
in both the ancient and modern language, offering contemporary
linguistic analyses of word structure unfettered by the myth that
wordhood in Chinese is somehow equated with the written Chinese
character.
This work demonstrates the breadth of current scholarship in the study
of Chinese morphology and is certain to pose a challenge to
traditional conceptions of word structure in Chinese linguistics. It
contains a foreword by Sandra Thompson.
