New Perspectives on Chinese Syntax - Waltraud Paul - Bog

In the last thirty years, Mandarin Chinese has been playing an increasingly important role in general linguistics and has become a ¿must¿ for everyone interested in crosslinguistic comparison and syntactic theorizing. The book aims at demystifying Chinese. It places controversial issues within the larger context of current syntactic theories, offers precise analyses and points out the untenability of preconceived ideas in the literature.
