Books by Daniel Hole

This series publishes original contributions which describe and theoretically analyze structures of natural languages. The main focus is on principles and rules of grammatical and lexical knowledge both with respect to individual languages and from a comparative perspective. The volumes cover all levels of linguistic analysis, especially phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, including aspects of language acquisition, language use, language change, and phonetical and neuronal realization.

This text offers a contribution to the study of the Chinese language. It deals with phenomena which have a high token frequency in Chinese texts and natural speech, but which have been under-investigated in other studies.
