Chinese grammar Q & A

Zhu, Dexi2026
Book
A concise, dialogue‑based analysis of key Chinese grammatical concepts that examines parts of speech, subject–object relations, hierarchical structure, and the overall grammatical system. By tracing major debates in Chinese linguistics since the 1950s, the book argues that applying Indo‑European frameworks has obscured the true nature of Chinese grammar. Through clear explanations and rich examples, it offers readers an authentic understanding of how Chinese works on its own terms.
