  • Again" and "Again

    Open AccessYi-Ling Irene Liao, Yi-Ling Liao et al.ARTICLELanguages2025Referencias: 16

    This work examines the grammatical properties of lại and nữa in Vietnamese, both of which can express the repetition of an event. It has been observed that different syntactic positions of lại result in different readings, as noted in previous studies. When lại precedes a verb, it may assume either the repetitive reading or restitutive reading. When lại follows a verb, it can only assume the restitutive reading. Nữa can be used for the repetitive…

  • Syntactic structures of Mandarin purposives

    Open AccessWei-Wen Roger Liao, Tzong-Hong Jonah Lin et al.ARTICLELinguistics2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 25

    This paper investigates three constructions in Mandarin, all of which convey a purposive/teleological meaning, including thelaipurposive, thehaopurposive, and the bare purposive. Despite the fact that each type of purposive clause in Mandarin occurs at the right edge of a sentence, it is argued that none of the purposive clause is a genuine right adjunct in the underlying syntactic structure. On the other hand, our analysis shows that thelaipurpo…

  • Tense in Mandarin Chinese Sentences

    Open AccessTzong‐hong Jonah LinARTICLESyntax2015Citada por: 7Referencias: 25

    J. Lin (2010) argues against Sybesma's (2007) proposal that Mandarin Chinese has syntactic tense and contends that it does not need tense for the temporal interpretations of sentences. This paper shows that those arguments cannot be sustained. Specifically, this paper points out the following: (i) Lin's claim that Mandarin Chinese sentences do not show tense-related syntactic properties is wrong. (ii) The so-called nonexistent temporal interpreta…

  • Finiteness of Clauses and Raising of Arguments in Mandarin Chinese

    Open AccessTzong‐hong Jonah LinARTICLESyntax2011Citada por: 14Referencias: 20

    This paper argues that Mandarin Chinese clauses exhibit the finite/nonfinite contrast, and, based on this discovery, shows that the EPP is the driving force for A-movement. The evidence is the raising of arguments from the TP complements of different kinds of modals. It is argued that the epistemic modals in Mandarin Chinese take a finite TP complement, whereas the modal hui'will' and the root modals take a nonfinite TP complement. Though the epi…

  • Again' and 'again

    Open AccessTzong-Hong Jonah Lin, Tzong‐hong Jonah Lin et al.ARTICLELinguistics2009Citada por: 1Referencias: 9

    This article analyzes two elements in Mandarin Chinese that denote repetition, you 'again' and zai 'again'. It has been assumed that you occurs in realis contexts, whereas zai occurs in irrealis contexts. We find that in fact each may occur in either context; furthermore, we argue that these two elements should be distinguished in terms of the structural positions they adjoin to and the event structures they occur in. We adopt Shen's (Journal of …
