Author: Continuation of Chinese Grammar Papers
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 1992-07-01
Features: This collection of essays does not include all the texts written. 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 Chinese Grammar Papers, both of which have been published as standalone books. Volume III is Continuation of Chinese Grammar Papers, which includes the previously published standalone works Demonstratives in Modern Chinese and grammar papers written after 1980. Volume IV is Miscellaneous Writings on Language and Literature, based on the 1983-published Lü Shuxiang's Collected Essays on Language and Literature, supplemented with non-specialized articles from after 1983, along with some revisions and reorganization. Volume V contains four standalone publications on language and literature: General Talk on Language, Random Notes on Language, Comments on Annotating Ancient Books, and Chinese People Learning English. Volume VI is Translated Works Collection, which is the 1983-published Lü Shuxiang's Translated Works Collection. Lastly, like most authors, I hope readers can find some value rather than complete uselessness in my books. This is my sincere wish. Comrade Zhang Wanchi of Commercial Press has done extensive proofreading for the entire collection, and Professor Jiang Weisong of Shandong University wrote the book title. My heartfelt thanks go to both of them. Lü Shuxiang January 1, 1989
