This volume explores how linguistic research can support the teaching and learning of Chinese as a second language. It responds to a rapidly growing interest in the Chinese language all over the world, and answers the need for a strong research background for the discipline. Without that, Chinese language learning remains only a unique experience and/or a useful education challenge.

The first section explores crucial issues about the structure and use of Chinese as a Second Language such as word-order, noun-noun compounds, meaning-making in writing, pronunciation and stress and...

In their conception, they are designed as a reflection of the present state of research with an orientation towards application and the specific needs and difficulties of students.

About 47 million people in Southeast China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia speak Southern Min, a major Chinese dialect group. Yet, Southern Min itself is linguistically diversified.

Using largely first-hand data, the author offers the first phonological reconstruction of Proto-Southern-Min from which all modern dialects are assumed to...

Die Verarbeitung morphologischer Informationen wird im Deutschen ausdrucksseitig durch vielfache graphematische und phonologische Mittel unterstutzt. Sie dienen nicht nur zur Markierung der morphologischen Grenzen, sondern auch dazu, den "Korper" der Morpheme in Abhangigkeit von ihrer Funktion formal zu differenzieren. Die Beitrage in diesem Sammelband befassen sich unter Anwendung psycholinguistischer, experimenteller und korpuslinguistischer Methoden mit folgenden Fragen: Welche Strategien im Deutschen und Englischen unterstutzen die Dekodierbarkeit morphologischer Strukturen?
