Increased Empiricism Recent Advances in Chinese Linguistics Hardbound
by Schmidt Published by John BenjaminsPublished 2013.
Increased Empiricism: Recent advances in Chinese Linguistics showcases recent trends in the co-development of theory and empiricism in Chinese linguistics. The volume tackles a wide range of theoretical and empirical problems in multiple subfields including linguistic typology, historical linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, lexical semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology, and corpus linguistics. The contributions do not fall neatly into two sections traditionally labeled ?theoretical? and ?empirical?. Rather, theoretical discussions are buttressed by empirical evidence, and empirical analyses lead to theoretical generalizations. Furthermore, the volume transcends the functional-formal division, showing that empiricism not only empowers functional-typological and sociolinguistic research, but can also have a place in formally oriented linguistic analysis.
