Features: Practical Grammar Analysis of Modern Chinese is a practical grammar textbook specifically designed for foreign students learning Chinese. It is suitable for intermediate students who have completed basic Chinese grammar and about 2,000 commonly used Chinese words. The textbook is divided into two volumes, each containing fifteen lessons. Each lesson includes four sections: knowledge explanation, lexical analysis, error sentence analysis, and applied exercises.
Practical Grammar Analysis of Modern Chinese (Volume 1) is based on the most common grammatical structures in Chinese, starting from the perspective of words, systematically and deeply introducing important and practical grammatical points. It focuses on grammar content that is not covered in basic classroom teaching but is meaningful in actual language use. The primary goal is to help students reinforce their grammar knowledge while improving their practical application skills in Chinese grammar.
The main content covered in Volume 1 includes:
- Detailed analysis of the specific usage of "、、" and "、、";
- Analysis of special sentence patterns such as the "" sentence, "" sentence, comparative sentences, and sentences like those with complement-taking verbs, serial verbs, and existential sentences;
- Rules for using various Chinese complements and the analysis of reduplicated forms of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and numeral words;
- The extended usage of interrogative pronouns, the extended usage of directional complements, and the analysis of "/" sentences, rhetorical questions, and compound sentences.
These topics are introduced in a systematic manner and analyzed through lexical application, with the ultimate goal of helping students continuously improve their Chinese grammar skills through practical exercises. This is the desired outcome of the textbook.
