Publisher Description: The volume deals with the grammaticalization and lexicalization processes that have marked the evolution of syntactic and semantic structures throughout the history of Sinitic languages. It brings together studies published in Chinese, on the features and pathways of grammaticalization and lexicalization typical of Sinitic languages. These contributions are now available to a Western audience who has little or no access to the Chinese language. |
