  • The History of Modern Chinese Grammar Studies

    by Peter Peverelli ...

The first indigenous grammar was published in 1889. It included some traditional notions, but mainly imitated European grammar. It was followed by a number of other similar works. To move away from this imitation, a group of ... Read more

  • Inner Aspect

    The Articulation of VP

    by Lisa deMena Travis ...
    Series Book 80 - Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory
    Finishing this book was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It took far too long from original idea to page proofs and suffered from being relegated to small corners of my life.
