Features: This book is a specialized study on the problem of parts of speech in modern Chinese grammar. The author examines, analyzes, and researches a corpus of 40,000 words, and argues against various theories and hypotheses of predecessors, thereby proposing new perspectives on the nature of parts of speech. His viewpoints break through traditional understandings and hold universal significance in linguistics. At the same time, he proposes a completely new set of operational procedures and methods for classifying parts of speech, specifically by calculating the compatibility between grammatical functions to reveal the relationship between grammatical functions and parts of speech. These are things that were never done by predecessors. The entire book is divided into eight chapters.
