Opis

From the viewpoint that the Chinese language is of spatiality and the English of temporality (Wang Wenbin 2019), and on the basis of the new definition produced by Wang Wenbin and ZhaoChaoyong (2016, 2017a, 2017b) of Chinese run-on sentences, this book adopts the approaches of both speculation and exemplification to further analyze the syntactic features of Chinese run-on sentences and conduct a more detailed structural classification of them. Besides, by comparing their English translation, this book attempts to reveal the intrinsic differences between Chinese and English syntactic structures being instantiated by Chinese run-on sentences.
