Abstract:

Considering a number of factors such as cross-linguistic influences,
saliency and detectability of language cues, language complexity, and
the interfaces involved, this book provides a systematic and coherent
study of non-native grammars of Chinese. It covers a broad range of
language aspects of Chinese as a non-native language, such as syntax,
semantics, discourse, and pragmatics, as well as language phenomena
specific to Chinese, such as classifiers, sentence final particles,
the topic structure, and the ba-construction. It explores the effect
on the linguistic structure of Chinese, when it is spoken as a second
language by first-language speakers of English, Japanese, Korean,
Thai, Spanish, Swedish, Russian and Palestinian Arabic, enabling the
reader to understand the learners' mental representations of the
underlying systems of the target language. New points of departure are
also recommended for further research, making it essential reading for
both Chinese language teaching practitioners, and academic researchers
of non-native language acquisition.
