Features: This book is a collection of linguistic essays by Professor Shi Xiyao, divided into three main parts: Modern Chinese Grammar, Rhetoric, and Modern Chinese Lexicology. The grammatical essays comprehensively discuss the principles of studying language through the integration of grammar, semantics, and pragmatics, and conduct specific examinations of phrases, compound words, interjections, adverbs, and word combinations from semantic and pragmatic perspectives. The rhetorical essays explore the linguistic artistic characteristics of works by renowned writers such as Lu Xun and Lao She, and delve into the syntactic structures of classical Chinese poetry. The lexicological essays investigate common words from semantic and usage perspectives. The book introduces frequently used Chinese words in plain language, categorized into five parts based on semantics: 1. Words related to human organs and limbs; 2. Words related to human actions and activities; 3. Words related to human beings themselves; 4. Words related to human-object relationships; 5. Words related to domestic animals, comprising a total of seventy-two articles.
