  • Topicalization in Asian Languages

    Open AccessLiejiong XuOTHERThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to…2017

    Typologists classify languages as subject‐prominent, topic‐prominent, subject‐prominent and topic‐prominent, and neither subject‐prominent nor topic‐prominent. Some Asian languages that have a large population of speakers, notably Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, are often cited as representatives of topic‐prominent languages. They use topic structures extensively and have a greater variety of them as compared with other languages. A typical topic …

  • Is there a finite vs. nonfinite distinction in Chinese

    Open AccessJianhua Hu, Haihua Pan et al.ARTICLELinguistics2001Citada por: 11Referencias: 13

    Some special devices are designed to test the existence of the finiteness of a Chinese clause, though Chinese evidently fails to meet the general conditions on finiteness. These tests include the occurrence of aspectual markers and modals as AUX in finite but not in nonfinite clauses, the obligatory nullness of the subject of the nonfinite clause (Huang 1988 [1982], 1984, 1987, 1989), the cooccurrence constraint, and the licensing of negative pol…

  • Topic-Prominence Parameter

    Open AccessLiejiong Xu, Lianyong XuARTICLEZAS Papers in Linguistics2000

    This article aims to recast the properties of topic-prominent languages and their differences from subject-prominent languages as documented in the functionalist literature into the framework of the Principle-and-Parameter approach. It provides a configurational definition of the topic construction called Topic Phrase (TP), with the topic marker as its head. The availablity of TP enables topic prominent languages to develop various topic structur…

  • On the Double Object Construction and the Oblique Construction in Cantonese

    Xu Liejiong, Liejiong Xu et al.ARTICLEStudies in Language1997

    The double-object construction has always been a controversial issue in linguistic theory. In Chinese we encounter an interesting and peculiar situation: both Mandarin and Cantonese have the dative construction with the indirect object (IO) introduced by a dative preposition (V + DO + Prep. + IO), but when the preposition is absent, the indirect object always precedes the direct object (DO)) in Mandarin (V + IO + DO), while the reverse order is p…
