Features: The book "Modern Chinese Lexicology" is based on the author's previous work "Research on Chinese Lexicon," incorporating research findings and reflections from the past decade. It can also be considered a monograph on Chinese lexicology that summarizes the author's current research achievements. The book provides systematic and profound discussions on several fundamental theoretical issues in Chinese lexicology. With "word" as the core, it connects vocabulary above and morpheme below; it uses the smallest unit of language use as the hub to link phonetics and semantics, integrating grammar and rhetoric. It also discusses the state and evolution of vocabulary from both static and dynamic perspectives. It represents a significant outcome of modern Chinese lexical ontology research that began in the 1950s.
