Focusing on the fundamental grammatical units and construction in modern Chinese, this title is the second volume of a classic on modern Chinese grammar by WANG Li, one of the most distinguished Chinese linguists.

This volume discusses nine major grammatical components in modern Chinese: 1) copulas, 2) negation, 3) adverbs, 4) markers applied to indicate the features of words or phrases, 5) aspects that indicate the duration and status of events, 6) moods that help express the emotions in language, 7) modal tertiaries, 8) connectives and 9) relative tertiaries.

Including a wide variety of examples and analyses, this book is a must-read for Chinese language learners, as well as researchers and students studying Chinese linguistics and modern Chinese grammar.
