Abstract:

The apparent flexibility of words in Classical Chinese with respect to traditional 
word classes has always posed a problem in the description of this language 
and has caused much misunderstanding. Moreover, it has been long 
understudied, along with the closely related theory of Classical Chinese word 
classes. This work seeks to summarize previous research on this issue, re-
orientate the discourse and construe a new interpretative paradigm that would 
lead to a more complex and realistic view. It is principally based on a multi-
disciplinary approach and supported by the theoretical framework of cognitive 
linguistics. The study deals with the very conception of word classes, but its 
focus lies in the analysis of verbal and adverbial functions of nouns.
