Typological Change in Chinese Syntax
Xu, Dan (Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations, Paris (INALCO))
Presenting an interpretation of the early history of Chinese, this title argues that Old Chinese was typologically a 'mixed' language. It shows that, though its dominant word order was subject-verb-object, this coexisted with subject-object-verb. It also describes the typological changes that have taken place since the Han period.
