Abstract:

Esta disertación tiene como objetivo investigar experimentalmente la interpretación de la negación en chino mandarín (MC), a saber, cuando se combinan múltiples expresiones negativas en una oración, cuando las expresiones negativas se usan como respuestas fragmentarias a preguntas negativas, y cuando los hablantes nativos muestran desacuerdo respecto a una afirmación negativa o a una pregunta polar negativa. Primeramente se examina si existen circunstancias que posibiliten una lectura de negación única (SN) a pesar de que el MC se caracterice por ser una lengua en la que, dentro de los lími

O presente estudo busca fazer uma comparação entre dois sistemas de transliteração do mandarim, o pinyin e o zhuyin fuhao, no contexto do ensino de chinês no Brasil. Para tanto, a pesquisa baseou-se na dissertação de Lin (2007) e, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa, entrevistou cinco alunos que estudaram por meio de cada sistema. A análise dos resultados sugere que os alunos que estudaram por meio do sistema pinyin apresentam maior dificuldade na pronúncia de fonemas aspirados e não aspirados do mandarim em comparação com alunos do sistema zhuyin fuhao.<br>The research aims to compare two Mandar

Abstract:

This thesis examines some selective cases of morphophonemic alternation in Mandarin Chinese. It presents analyses of the function -of the retroflex suffix -r and describes several conditions for tone sandhi. The suffix -r functions not simply as a noun formative. Some of the suffixed forms have consistently different meanings from the roots on which they are based. The suffix -r also plays a role in poetry as a time-filler to make each line of a poem fulfill the requirements of the strict number of characters and rhyme. This thesis also explains what causes the tone pattern of words such as xi

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze modal concord in Mandarin Chinese. Modal concord is a semantic phenomenon in which multiple modal words in a sentence are interpreted semantically as if there was only a single modal expression. The thesis provides a description of the Mandarin modal system (especially the necessity modals), following the formal analysis of Kratzer (1991) and von Fintel & Iatridou (2008). The generalization is established that a concord reading is available only when the modals agree in their modal type, ordering sources and quantificational force. This general

Abstract:

Chinese is noted for its rich inventory of particles that help to form sentences. However, a precise definition of particle is hard to achieve due to its wide range of forms and functions. Most words that are hard to categorize are dumped into this class. Naturally, there are two consequences that come out of this: 1) the difference is huge among groups and subgroups; 2) there seems to be no interconnectedness between groups. In these circumstances, this study mainly aims to address two issues: a) to establish particle as a theoretical construct that is distinguishable from other well-establis

Abstract:

This thesis examines some of the major aspects of the semantic and syntactic characteristics of 'shang' and 'xia' in Mandarin Chinese. One of their basic meanings relates to the vertical dimension, both 'shang' and 'xia, being involved in the indication of vertical direction and position. It is seen that this vertical dimension can extend into the realms of quantity, status, sequencing and time. The use of vertical terms in these extended areas is found in other languages, such as English, suggesting that there may some perceptual, cognitive and/or experiential bases for such extensions.

Abstract:

In the last decade the theory of metrical phonology has been an important development in linguistic theory. It began by concentrating on stress and rhythmical phenomena in English. The main idea of metrical phonology is that phonological strings are not merely linear sequences but are hierarchically structured. Stress patterns of rhythm reflect, to some extent at least, relations of prominence between the constituents of sentences. The relative prominence of each constituent in a metrical tree is indicated by nodes at different levels. Each node is labeled either s or w where s means '

Abstract:

This dissertation discusses the Xining Mandarin dialect (spoken in Qinghai province, northwest China), a variety in which head-final syntax has emerged on the model of local Mongolic languages and Tibetan. The underlying socio-historical scenario is explored in detail and analysed as a case of 'fort creolization' (Bickerton 1988). An overview is then provided of how head-final categories emerged in the dialect, namely through reanalysing Chinese form-meaning units to fulfil functions found in the substrate languages, with comparatively little reordering of grammatical devices inherent to Chine

This dissertation provides an extensive analysis of how Mandarin, as a tenseless language, conveys futurity. It reveals that futurity in Mandarin is expressed primarily by future adverbials and future forms conveying irrealis modality. Modal auxiliaries and future-oriented verbs are two major types of future forms. It argues that although all the root modals and relevant modal main verbs can refer to the future, some epistemic modals cannot, even though the epistemic modals all allow future interpretation of their complements.

This thesis examines the syntactic properties of passive constructions in Mandarin Chinese within the framework of Government and Binding. The theoretical framework of analyzing passives is that of Baker, Johnson and Roberts (1989, henceforth BJR) and Hale and Keyser (1993). It is argued that what could be and should be analyzed as a passive in Mandarin Chinese is the construction characterized by the presence of bei, hence the so- called Jbei-construct ion. I further argue that this passive construction is derived by NP-movement, as is the case with English. I maintain BJR'
