This book is the final volume of a four-volume set on modern Chinese
complex sentences, assessing the key attributes, related sentence
structures, and semantic and pragmatic relevance of complex sentences.
Complex sentences in modern Chinese are unique in formation and
meaning. Following on from analysis on coordinate, causal and
adversative types of complex sentences, the ten chapters in this
volume review the characteristics of complex sentences as a whole. The
author discusses the constituents, related structures, semantic and
pragmatic aspects of complex sentences, covering topics such as the
constraints and counter-constraints between sentence forms and
semantic relationships, six type-crossover markers, distinctions
between simple sentences and complex sentences, clauses formed by a
noun/nominal phrase followed by le, the shǐ-structure, subject
ellipsis or tacit understanding of clauses, as well as double-subject
sentences, alternative question groups and their relationships with
complex sentences. The book will be a useful reference for scholars
and learners interested in Chinese grammar and language information
processing.
