- More about Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese: Cartography and Minimalism
The Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese provides a cartographic survey of the sentence peripheral domain in Mandarin Chinese, exploring the hierarchical order of functional projections hosting sentence-final particles, implicit operators, and other informational components. It aims to answer questions about the order, determination, and reasons for this order, enhancing our understanding of the left-periphery crosslinguistically.

The Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese delves into a comprehensive exploration of the intricate structure of the sentence peripheral domain in Mandarin Chinese, employing a cartographic lens. It presents a hierarchical organization of diverse functional projections, encompassing sentence-final particles, implicit operators, and other informational elements, based on the Subjectivity Scale Constraint operating at the syntax-discourse interface. Three central questions are addressed: What is the underlying order? How is this order determined? Why does this order exist? This research not only provides a thorough examination of the peripheral components in Chinese but also contributes to a broader understanding of the ordering phenomenon in left-periphery languages across languages. This book is intended for scholars with an interest in Chinese syntax or generative syntax.
The Architecture of the Periphery in Chinese 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.
