Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar

A classic in the field, this comprehensive analysis of classical Chinese includes a historical overview, principles of word order and sentence structure, and analyses of sentence types and complex sentences.

William G. Boltz:
By any measure the most important book-length work on Classical Chinese grammar to have appeared in a Western language since Gabelentz's comprehensive grammar of more than a century ago ... a very sophisticated and scholarly treatment of Classical Chinese grammar, it is all the same entirely appropriate for even a beginning-level class.

Professor Wayne Schlepp, Deptartment of East Asian Studies, University of Toronto:
A most welcome and practical book ... I have been waiting for a book like this for years. The text is beautifully clear. And not only does it make work for people like me just that much more reasonable, it also reduces the man hours it usually takes merely to set out the sounds of even a short poem. I for one am grateful.
