Abstract:

This volume provides a broad introduction to Chinese linguistics, offering an
accessible synthesis of the most relevant topics in the field. Despite the
steady growth in interest in Chinese linguistics in recent years, this is one
of very few books at introductory level written for a Western audience. The
authors begin by outlining the history and typology of the Sinitic languages
and the writing system of Chinese before moving on to discuss key topics in
phonology, morphology and the lexicon, and syntax. Throughout the book, they
incorporate and discuss examples from standard and non-standard varieties of
Sinitic, and include new research on topics such as dialect writing,
subjecthood, and word formation. The book will be a valuable reference both
for researchers and scholars in the field of China studies and for linguists,
including those with little or no previous knowledge of Chinese.
