Features: This book fully considers the characteristics and difficulties of non-Chinese speakers or non-Mandarin Chinese speakers when learning the grammar of standard Chinese. It starts with part-of-speech analysis, transitions to phrase analysis, and concludes with sentence analysis, introducing the basic theories and methods for mastering modern Chinese grammar. It emphasizes understanding and application rather than getting entangled in disputes among different schools of thought. A Concise Introduction to Modern Chinese includes three parts: the upper part "Phonetics," the middle part "Vocabulary," and the lower part "Chinese Characters."
The upper part "Phonetics" section is designed with the requirements of being progressive, easy to learn, and practical, targeting non-Chinese speakers and non-Mandarin Chinese speakers as the main audience. The middle part "Vocabulary" section focuses on the analysis of word meaning and the use of words, discussing single-word meanings, synonyms, antonyms, and polysemy, as well as briefly explaining issues related to vocabulary classification and vocabulary development. The lower part "Chinese Characters" section includes content such as "The Origin of Chinese Characters," "The Structure of Chinese Characters," "The Forms of Chinese Characters," and "The Strokes of Chinese Characters," providing the necessary knowledge and methods for learning, using, and writing Chinese characters.
