| Body | From http://www.continuumbooks.com/Books/detail.aspx?ReturnURL=/Search/default.aspx&CountryID=1&ImprintID=2&BookID=116226 Studies in Chinese Language Volume 8 M.A.K. Halliday Edited by Jonathan J. Webster Pub Date: 10 Apr 2006 Description Studies in Chinese Language, the eighth volume in the collected works of Professor M.A.K. Halliday, approaches the Chinese language from several interesting vantage points, ranging from studies of medieval to modern grammar, and also covering topics related to Chinese phonology, grammar and discourse. Professor Hallidays PhD thesis provided the basis for the first paper in this volume, The Language of the Chinese Secret History of the Mongols (with examples from the book on CD-ROM). The final section on Grammar and discourse includes papers looking at grammatical metaphor and scientific discourse in both Chinese and English. Professor M. A. K. Halliday (b. 1925) was Foundation Professor of Linguistics at the University of Sydney, Australia, until his retirement and has taught as a Visiting Professor around the world. As a self-styled generalist he has published in many branches of linguistics. Jonathan J. Webster is Head of the Department of Chinese, Translation and Linguistics at the City University of Hong Kong.
