TRANSLATIONS OF WORKS ON CHINESE GRAMMER. THE PHONEMES OF THE PEIPING DIALECT. ADJECTIVALS AND ADVERBIALS. BA SENTENCES AND BEI SENTENCES

Abstract

The central objective of this report is to uncover and formalize some of the underlying properties of natural language. While attention is primarily focused on Mandarin Chinese and American English, the results achieved from studying these two languages will be of value toward the construction of a general theory of language. These results mostly take the form of assertions regarding the structure of the object language under study (rules in the grammar) and statements regarding the structure of the metalanguage used to make these assertions (rules in the theory of language). These two types of results are mutually dependent.
