| Summary: |
Dear Linguists, In January I asked for references to recent papers or books on the syntax and semantics of adjectives in East Asian languages. There was only very little response which leads me to the conclusion that not too much work has been done in this interesting field recently. I received the following references (given here together with possible comments by the senders): Caluianu, Daniela. 1996. "Case patterns with subjective adjectives". Tsukuba Journal of Applied Linguistics 3: 27-41. [The article treats case marking alternations on the Experiencer argument of Japanese adjectives.] Chen, Qiming. 1996. Structure of noun phrases and in Chinese and its consequences. [Ph.D. Diss., University of Maryland.] Mo, Jianmin. 1997. Adjectifs et constructions comparatives en chinois contemporain. Paris. [Ph.D. Diss.] Sackmann, Robin. 1996. "The problem of 'adjectives' in Mandarin Chinese". In: Sackmann, Robin (ed.). Theoretical Linguistics and Grammatical Description. Amsterdam: Benjamins. (= CILT, 138). [... thorough and theoretically well-founded study on the syntactic and semantic features of alleged 'adjectives' in Mandarin. ... summarizes the arguments against 'adjectives' in Chinese. ] Yoo, Hyun-Kyung. 1997. A study of Korean adjectives. [Ph.D. Diss., Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea]. [comprehensive and very lengthy study on Korean adjectives, written in Korean but with summary in English.] Many thanks to those who responded.
