Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Harold E. Shadick and Hsin-min Wu. Preliminary Edition of Shadick and Wu?s Structural Analysis of Literary Chinese (Ithaca, NY: Department of Far Eastern Studies and Division of Modern Languages, Cornell University, 1950). Red paper covers; white plastic spiral bound; viii, 129 pp; Table of Contents. Some wear to red covers around spiral binding; upper right corner crease on front cover; light toning to interior title page; overall, in VG+ to Near Fine condition. [23-241] The authors state, in the Preface, ?This is an attempt to provide the English-speaking student with a systematic exposition of the more regular features of literary Chinese. It makes no claim to being a complete reference grammar. It is a framework within which the student can place grammatical features as he meets them. The reverse of each page is left blank so that additional examples may be written in. The central principle of Chinese grammar is word order and this Analysis is largely organized with reference to word order.?.
