Introduction to Chinese Paratactic Grammar: The Theoretical Construction of a Chinese-Style Grammar Paradigm

Chinese paratactic grammar is a syntactic concept coined by Zhang Li in his Deep Choice of Culture: The Theory of Chinese Paratactic Grammar (Jilin Education Publishing House, 1994). Ever since then, Zhang has never stopped his research into this theory over the past 20-plus years, bringing out works such as An Outline of Chinese Paratactic Grammar (2001) and On Chinese Paratactic Grammar: A Construction Based on Types of Cognition and Logic of Language (2012). As a summary of Zhang’s latest research findings about Chinese paratactic grammar, this book is the first that Zhang has published in China on this topic.
