This is a translated collection of the most distinguished journal articles of the Chinese linguistics field. Articles were selected for their originality, novelty, theoretical significance, and
enlightenment to general linguistics study. Most of the articles selected were published in the last five years. The eighteen articles included in this book cover nearly all major areas of
Chinese linguistics, such as phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, language contact, language evolution, and comparative studies of Sino-Tibetan languages. These articles document
discussions of some theoretical issues through the case studies of Asian languages. This book is appropriate for readers of the linguistics circle and serves as a reference book in Chinese
linguistics study.
