Description

This scholarly work presents the first comprehensive analysis of Xiang dialect grammar from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, offering linguists and researchers fresh insights into the dialects spoken in Hunan, China. The author employs new data and analytical frameworks to examine grammatical structures whilst addressing gaps in Chinese dialectology that have been overlooked by the field. The book establishes the Xiang dialect group's strategic importance as a transitional zone between northern and southern Chinese language varieties, making it essential reading for anyone studying Chinese linguistic variation, historical language change, or dialect classification. Originally published by De Gruyter Mouton as volume 162 in the Trends in Linguistics series, this used copy in good condition offers access to groundbreaking research on one of China's most linguistically significant dialect regions.
