Book 2 of 4: Masterpieces in Chinese Linguistics
Synopsis
Chinese Grammar: A Theoretical Approach (Volume II) — A Milestone Exploration into the Syntactic Structure of the Chinese Language
As a pivotal volume in the Masterpieces in Chinese Linguistics Series, this publication presents the first English edition of the monumental work by the legendary Chinese linguist, Gao Mingkai, masterfully translated by Zhou Rong.
Departing from traditional grammars that overemphasize word classes while neglecting syntax, Professor Gao argues that the defining characteristic of Chinese lies in the grammatical functions of content words and the auxiliary roles of function words within syntax. In actual usage, the grammatical function of a content word is determined entirely by its position and its relationship with neighboring words.
Volume II focuses systematically on Chinese Syntax, unfolding in two main sections: On Sentence Construction and Sentence Patterns. It provides a rigorous, deep-dive analysis into the intrinsic and extrinsic relations between words, such as relations of determination, direction, apposition, coordination, and contact. Furthermore, it extensively examines functional propositions, including negative, interrogative, dubitative, imperative, and exclamatory structures, alongside historical explorations into copulas, ellipses, and complex sentences.
Essential for theoretical linguists, Sinologists, and advanced learners of Chinese, this scholarly masterpiece unveils how Chinese conveys intricate meanings without morphological markers, offering an unparalleled theoretical framework.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Chinese Grammar: A Theoretical Approach, Volume II continues Gao Mingkai's systematic and theoretically grounded study of Chinese grammar. As the second volume of this major work, it focuses on sentence construction and sentence patterns, offering a detailed account of how Chinese grammatical relations are formed, organized, and expressed.This volume examines relations of determination, determinative particles, relations of direction, directed words, apposition, coordination, contact relationships, Chinese sentence structure, copulas, elliptical and absolute sentences, complex sentences, inclusive sentences, and compound sentences.
