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......
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......
Semantic relation identification for consecutive predicative constituents in Chinese

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 ......
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......
A typology of lexical borrowing in Modern Standard Chinese
Lingua Sinica - Tập 4 - Trang 1-32 - 2018
The question of how best to classify Modern Standard Chinese loanwords is rather a fraught one. Various principles of categorization have been proposed in the literature; however, previous classification systems have generally covered only a relatively small proportion of all loanwords currently in use. Even attempts to provide an exhaustive catalog of lexical borrowing strategies have often been ......
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 counterfactuality with theory of mind: evidence from developmental studies with Yàobúshì in Chinese
Lingua Sinica - Tập 3 - Trang 1-19 - 2017
This paper revisits Chinese counterfactuality with 要不是 yàobúshì 'if it were not' by presenting additional data from elementary school children and high school teenagers to determine the availability of counterfactual reasoning with psycholinguistic studies. Constituent comparisons of propositional representations were hypothesized in the mental model of sentence processing. Results indicate both d......
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......
On counterfactual attitudes: a case study of Taiwanese Southern Min
Lingua Sinica - Tập 3 - Trang 1-27 - 2017
This paper investigates the syntactic and semantic properties of counterfactual attitude verbs in Taiwanese Southern Min, showing the differences between this type of attitude verbs and those discussed by Anand and Hacquard (2013). I propose that the semantics of counterfactual attitude verbs is composed of two components, a doxastic assertion and a counterfactual felicity condition, the former of......
