Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2004-11-01
Features: This collection does not include all the texts written by the author. Some scattered articles and single publications were excluded for various reasons. The collection consists of six volumes. Volume I is Essentials of Chinese Grammar, and Volume II is Collected Papers on Chinese Grammar, both of which have been published as standalone books. Volume III is Continuation of Papers on Chinese Grammar, which includes the previously published standalone works Modern Chinese Demonstratives and grammar papers written after 1980. Volume IV is Miscellaneous Essays on Language and Literature, based on the 1983-published Lü Shuxiang's Essays on Language and Literature, supplemented with non-specialized articles from after 1983, along with some revisions and reorganization. Volume V contains four single publications on language and literature: General Talk on Language and Literature, Random Notes on Language and Literature, Comments on Annotating Ancient Books, and Chinese People Learning English. Volume VI is the Translation Collection, which is the 1983-published Collected Translations of Lü Shuxiang. At the end, like most authors, I hope readers can find some benefit rather than complete uselessness in my books. This is my sincere wish. Comrade Zhang Wankui of Commercial Press has done extensive proofreading for the entire collection, and Professor Jiang Weisong of Shandong University wrote the book title for this volume. My heartfelt thanks go to them all. Lü Shuxiang January 1, 1989
