CHINESE 738

Chinese Semantics and Grammar

Please note: this is archived course information from 2012 for CHINESE 738.

Description

Chinese is often described as a language where meaning (semantics) is more important than structure (grammar). This course will examine such claims by comparing structure-based and meaning-based descriptions of Chinese. A guided research project will focus on the interaction between vocabulary and grammar in actual usage and will explore the possibility of integrating these two approaches.
