Features: The study of the characteristics of Chinese grammar holds a distinctive and important position in the research of Chinese grammar. Only by identifying the characteristics of Chinese grammar can we establish a truly meaningful Chinese grammar system. Otherwise, we can only follow others, imitating the grammar of some foreign language, cutting the feet of Chinese linguistic facts to fit the shoes of foreign grammar. Therefore, since the founding of the country, the research on Chinese grammar has been closely linked to the issue of Chinese grammar characteristics. Every major discussion on Chinese grammar issues (such as the discussion on Chinese word classes, the discussion on subject-object issues, etc.) is related to people's different understandings of Chinese grammar characteristics. Every new viewpoint or theory on Chinese grammar is also proposed to address problems related to Chinese grammar characteristics. The achievements of every grammarian and the value of every grammar treatise are also linked to the understanding and exploration of Chinese grammar characteristics. Therefore, for the research on Chinese grammar to achieve new breakthroughs and go deeper, it is necessary to explore the characteristics of Chinese grammar. The main content of this book includes: 13 chapters on theories such as the characteristics of modern Chinese grammar, the theory of modern Chinese word classes, syntactic isomorphism theory, and the syntactic structure system.
