Asymmetry and Markedness Theory
Routledge
978-1-041-09436-4 (ISBN)
The book illustrates how asymmetric patterns emerge in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, integrating descriptive and explanatory methods to uncover underlying principles. It combines synchronic and diachronic analyses, placing Chinese within a global linguistic framework. Emphasizing functional aspects, it explores the links between language, communication, cognition, and semantics. Volume 1 highlights asymmetries in affirmation and negation, and Volume 2 focuses on the interplay between form and meaning.
This set is intended for linguists, language educators, and anyone interested in the structure and function of language. It will be especially valuable to scholars and students working in Chinese linguistics, markedness theory, and cross-language comparative studies.
