Abstract:

Chinese Grammar at Work adopts a cognitive-functional approach and uses a
corpus-based methodology to examine how Chinese syntax emerges from natural
discourse context and what the evolving grammar at work looks like. In this
volume the author weaves together an array of fresh perspectives on clause
structure, constructions, interactional linguistics, cognitive science and
complex dynamic systems to construct a grammar of spoken Chinese. The volume
contains discussions of a large number of topics: contiguity relation, the
roles of repair strategies in the shaping of constituent structure,
non-canonical word order constructions, pragmatics of referring expressions,
classifier constructions, noun-modifying constructions, verb complementation,
ethnotheory of the person and constructions specific to the language of
emotion, sequential sensitivity of linguistic materials, meaning potential in
interaction, the nature of variability and stability in Chinese syntax from
the perspective of complexity theory. The result is a volume that highlights
the connections between language structure, situated and embodied nature of
cognition and language use, and affords a true entrée to the exciting realm of
Chinese grammar.
