In
the past two decades, the research on grammar acquisition of Chinese as a
second language has made significant progress in terms of both research content
and methodology, and the findings are significant. Divided into two volumes
with the first one on the acquisition of parts of speech and the second one on
the acquisition of sentence constituents, this book, in a comprehensive and
systematic way, presents the findings of parts of speech acquisition (nouns,
verbs, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, prepositions, auxiliaries, and other
words) and sentence constituent acquisition (subjects, objects, attributes, adverbial
modifiers, and complements) in Chinese second language acquisition in the past
20 years, and provides an objective and practical analysis and evaluation, as
well as a discussion and outlook on the space and direction of future research.
