Grammatical roles, Coherence Relations, and the interpretation of pronouns in Chinese
Lingua Sinica - Tập 2 - Trang 1-20 - 2016
This paper reports on an experimental study of the interpretation of pronouns in Chinese which provides additional support for the proposal in Yang et al. (1999, 2003) that the resolution of pronominal reference in Chinese is more influenced by syntactic information than often assumed in approaches to discourse anaphora in Chinese such as Li and Thompson (1979), Givon (1983), Chen (1986), Christen......

Age-related differences in the acceptability of non-canonical word orders in Mandarin Chinese
Lingua Sinica - Tập 4 - Trang 1-25 - 2018
Prior theoretical and experimental work has demonstrated that the subject-object-verb (SOV) word order is more restricted and more difficult to process than the object-subject-verb (OSV) word order in Chinese. However, few studies have investigated the actual acceptability of non-canonical, verb-final word orders among native speakers. In this study, we conducted a paper-based survey with a group ......
High applicatives are not high enough: a cartographic solution
Lingua Sinica - Tập 4 - Trang 1-21 - 2018
This paper examines a cluster of phenomena in Mandarin Chinese, which may collectively be characterized as “affective constructions”. Based on the diversified and sometimes hybrid nature of these affective construals, we argue that the usual dichotomy between high and low applicatives is not enough to capture their syntactic and semantic idiosyncrasies. We will need a more elaborate theory to map ......
Linking constructions in Mayrinax Atayal
Lingua Sinica - Tập 3 - Trang 1-47 - 2017
This study investigated and examined linking constructions in Mayrinax Atayal. Although in the literature, linkers are categorized as either complementizers or aspectual heads, their syntactic behaviors and statuses have not been fully probed and analyzed. From minimalist and cartographic viewpoints, this paper will divide Mayrinax linking constructions into three classes with respect to their dis......

Winds and tigers: metaphor choice in China’s anti-corruption discourse
Lingua Sinica - Tập 3 - Trang 1-26 - 2017
This article examines metaphor choice in China’s official anti-corruption discourse. Drawing on corpus data, we analyze the metaphors used by the Chinese Communist Party and its flagship newspaper, the People’s Daily, to frame the anti-corruption campaign and influence public perception. It is found that both embodied experience and cultural models are recruited as the metaphoric vehicles or sourc......
Vowel purity and rhyme evidence in Old Chinese reconstruction
Lingua Sinica - Tập 3 - Trang 1-17 - 2017
Rhyme patterns in Old Chinese poems are important for the reconstruction of Old Chinese pronunciation, as they provide evidence for groups of words which formerly had similar pronunciation. Rhyme patterns can also be used to test Old Chinese reconstruction systems for consistency and plausibility, as reconstruction systems should minimize the conflict with attested rhyme patterns. Here, we build o......
Encoding motion events in Chinese and the “scalar specificity constraint”
Lingua Sinica - Tập 1 - Trang 1-29 - 2015
Mandarin Chinese often expresses motion events with more than one verbal motion morpheme, e.g., 退 tui ‘recede’ and 回 hui ‘return’ in 退回房間裏 tui-hui fangjian-li recede-return room-inside ‘return into the room’. Building on recent work on “scale structure”, this paper proposes a “Motion Morpheme Hierarchy” that can be used to better predict the order of co-occurring motion morphemes: specifically, Ch......
Extracting Chinese polarity shifting patterns from massive text corpora
Lingua Sinica - Tập 2 - Trang 1-22 - 2016
In sentiment analysis, polarity shifting means shifting the polarity of a sentiment clue that expresses emotion, evaluation, etc. Compared with other natural language processing (NLP) tasks, extracting polarity shifting patterns from corpora is a challenging one because the methods used to shift polarity are flexible, which often invalidates fully automatic approaches. In this study, which aimed t......
