{"product_id":"chinese-linguistics-giorgio-francesco-arcodia-9780198847830","title":"Chinese Linguistics: An Introduction","description":"This volume provides a broad introduction to Chinese linguistics, offering an accessible synthesis of the most relevant topics in the field. Despite the steady growth in interest in Chinese linguistics in recent years, this is one of very few books at introductory level written for a Western audience. The authors begin by outlining the history and typology of the Sinitic languages and the writing system of Chinese before moving on to discuss key topics in phonology, morphology and the lexicon, and syntax. Throughout the book, they incorporate and discuss examples from standard and non-standard varieties of Sinitic, and include new research on topics such as dialect writing, subjecthood, and word formation. The book will be a valuable reference both for researchers and scholars in the field of China studies and for linguists, including those with little or no previous knowledge of Chinese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giorgio Francesco Arcodia, Bianca Basciano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198847831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198847830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.83h x 7.07w x 1.06d","brand":"Giorgio Francesco Arcodia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981651542271,"sku":"9780198847830","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73a47570-2816-47ab-8ccd-efc9053d62ca.jpg?v=1683256772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinese-linguistics-giorgio-francesco-arcodia-9780198847830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
