The Cyclical Change of Chinese Causatives
Causative constructions, which represent the relationship between the “causing event” (CAUSE) and the “caused event” (RESULT), can be expressed by morphological, lexical, periphrastic, and complex predicate forms (Dixon 2010, 74). This study identifies a cyclical pattern in the evolution of causative constructions from Old Chinese to Modern Chinese, tracing the shift from lexical causatives to complex predicate causatives, and back again to lexic…

Foot-shift and disyllabification in the history of Chinese: With a revisit of syllabic structures of Old Chinese
This paper argues that the Chinese language has undergone a foot-shift from the Old Chinese monosyllabic foot to a Modern Chinese disyllabic foot. It will be shown that the natural simplification of Old Chinese syllables has caused the foot-shift, resulting in disyllabification. The disappearance of bimoraic feet in Old Chinese has resulted from the loss of consonantal codas, including codas of consonant clusters, which has led to the disappearan…
Discursive representations of tongqi in selected Chinese newspapers
In recent years, tongqi (homo-wives) have become a social sight in mainland China, while also attracting increasingly scholarly attention. In this article we examined the news reports in China Daily and Global Times , with an aim of investigating China’s news media representations of tongqi . To this end, 25 news reports on tongqi were collected over a 10-year period (2012–2022). These materials were then specifically analyzed by adopting van Lee…
In the Name of Traditions? Legitimating Homophobic Discourse in Chinese News Media
Visual Representations of Sexual Minorities in Chinese Newspapers
Same-sex sexuality remains a prevalent taboo in many cultures and societies globally. In the past decade, scholars from various fields have increasingly examined how sexual minorities (SMs) are represented. The present paper contributes to this growing research by addressing two notable gaps. First, since much of the existing research centers on Western contexts, there is limited study on the portrayal of SMs within the Chinese cultural framework…
Discursive representations of sexual minorities in China’s English-language news media: A corpus-based study
In contemporary China, sexual minorities (SMs) are still a marginalized community. Prior studies have accorded SMs a great deal of attention, but little research has been conducted on the representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people in Chinese English-language news media. This article uses corpus linguistic tools to examine popular views on SMs in a larger corpus of 354 news articles, filling the gap in research. Based on data coll…
Fake attributives in Chinese: A prosodic grammar perspective
Fake attributives in Chinese are the result of the interaction between syntax and prosody. For syntactic reasons, certain objects of complex verbal constructions and verbal quantifiers cannot be realized in situ; but they can be spelled out in some roundabout ways, one of which is to form fake attributives through de -insertion. In the forming process of fake attributives, the clitic de plays an important role, and de -insertion is frequently res…
Cross-Generational Analysis of Basic Vowel Changes in Zhongyuan Mandarin: An Experimental Investigation
This study mainly explores the cross-generational differences of basic vowels in Zhongyuan Mandarin. By adopting speech materials of two generations from seven cities in Henan Province, namely, Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Xuchang, Luohe, Zhoukou, Nanyang, and Zhumadian, we attempt to identify the positional features of each vowel in two generations with the acoustic vowel charts and the V-value charts, to observe the cross-generational differences of each…
V-V Compounds in Chinese: Syntactic Perspective Revisited
This article revisits the formation of the resultative V-V compounds in Chinese. While presenting evidence to show the inadequacies of the lexicalist approach, we instead argue that these compounds are derived via syntactic operations. Meanwhile, the multiple readings of V-V compounds, once claimed to be the strong argumentation of the lexicalist account, are actually the results of such characteristics of Chinese syntax as the object realization…
Prosody and sentencehood in Chinese: A case study with reference to Chinese-English comparison
The diachrony of East Asian prosodic templates
Typical words in some East Asian languages, including Chinese, have reduced historically from disyllabic (CV·CV(C)) to monosyllabic (C(C)V(C)) and then open monosyllables (CV). More recently, in some of those languages, many monosyllabic CV forms again appear as disyllabic (CV·CV). The former developments result from a variety of apparently unconnected segmental changes. In the latter, they often reflect morphological innovations, like compoundin…
