Description

This academic work presents a comprehensive analysis of polarity phenomena in Chinese language using the downward-entailing hypothesis as its theoretical foundation. The book argues that downward entailment serves as the primary licensor for various types of Chinese polarity items, challenging previous non-veridicality approaches that lack sufficient explanatory power. Published by Routledge in the Frontiers in Applied Linguistics series, this research provides linguists, language scholars, and graduate students with an in-depth examination of how polarity items function within Chinese grammar. The study begins by establishing essential groundwork and theoretical context, then develops its analysis to demonstrate why downward entailment offers a more robust and unified account of Chinese polarity phenomena than existing frameworks. Researchers working in comparative linguistics, theoretical syntax, or Chinese language studies will find this systematic investigation valuable for understanding the underlying principles governing polarity licensing across different language structures.
