Editorial Reviews
Review
"Readers will find abundant rewards in this new addition to the functional literature on Chinese grammar. Collectively, its chapters cover cognitive, typological, diachronic, and usage-based approaches to linguistic structure. Individually, each essay makes a unique and significant contribution with a bold hypothesis, supported by exceptionally well-argued and richly exemplified analyses, which sheds thought-provoking new light on the relationship between form and function in Chinese." Sandra A. Thompson, Professor of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara
