Classifier Structures in Mandarin Chinese By Niina Ning Zhang. Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton, 2013
A fairly contentious issue within Chinese studies has been the syntax and function of the classifier. In Classifier Structures in Mandarin Chinese, the author provides a detailed description and analysis of the syntactic structure, positioning, and interpretation of Mandarin classifiers. In this work, she has sorted nouns into four categories based on the bivalent features of [Numerability] and [Delimitability], resulting in new perspectives on classifier function and noun classification. This reference work is a basic resource for any further research into the topic.
Keywords: classifier, numerability, delimitability, plurality, syntactic structure
