This is the first monograph to study sentence final particles in Chinese from a cartographic perspective, and the first study trying to account for the derivation of A'-dependencies in Mandarin Chinese from a minimalist perspective. \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eArchitecture of the Periphery in Chinese\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive survey on the fine structure of the sentence peripheral domain in Mandarin Chinese from a cartographic perspective. Different functional projections hosting sentence-final particles, implicit operators and other informational components are hierarchically ordered according to the \"Subjectivity Scale Constraint\" functioning at syntax-discourse interface. Three questions will be essentially addressed: What is the order? How to determine such an order? Why such an order? This research not only gives a thorough examination of the peripheral elements in Chinese but also improves the general understanding of the ordering issue in the left-periphery crosslinguistically. This book is aimed at scholars interested in Chinese syntax or generative syntax. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40687165964385,"sku":"9781032401683","price":46.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/6cb15060894770c828ab99beea695825.png?v=1703216871","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032401683-architecture-of-the-periphery-in-chinese","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
