Where Centering Meets Chinese Discourse[electronic resource] /by Saina Wuyun. - 1st ed. 2020. - XII, 190 p. 154 illus., 4 illus. in color.online resource.

Chapter 1. An introduction to the book -- Chapter 2. A refined Centering Theory -- Chapter 3. A Centering analysis of discourse with Chinese bei passive -- Chapter 4. A centering analysis of Chinese disposal ba construction -- Chapter 5. Ranking of forward-looking centers in Chinese -- Chapter 6. The influence of temporality interpretation on discourse coherence -- Chapter 7. Concluding remarks.

This book addresses the question: What can close discourse analysis contribute to the understanding of language? To do so, it presents a centering theory-based computational approach to discourse analysis concerning Chinese bei passive sentences, disposal ba constructions, ditransitive gei sentences, and locative fang sentences. The book first discusses the use of discourse analysis in the context of bei and ba constructions and then demonstrates how discourse analysis can contribute to the syntactic and semantic studies of these sentences. It also examines the various thematic roles differentiated in these four special sentence patterns, namely agent, recipient, theme/patient, and locative, and reveals the various degrees of discourse accessibility of these thematic roles. Exploring the correlation between centering theory and Chinese discourse, the book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in discourse analysis and Chinese special sentential structures, especially the formal approaches to these issues.
