Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese: Cartography and Minimalism Pan Victor
Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese offers a comprehensive survey on the fine structure of the sentence peripheral domain in Mandarin Chinese from a cartographic perspective. Three questions will be essentially addressed: What is the order? Different functional projections hosting sentence-final particles, implicit operators and other informational components are hierarchically ordered according to the Subjectivity Scale Constraint functioning at syntax-discourse interface.
Why such an order? How to determine such an order? This research not only gives a thorough examination of the peripheral elements in Chinese but also improves the general understanding of the ordering issue in the left-periphery crosslinguistically.
This book is aimed at scholars interested in Chinese syntax or generative syntax.
