500    Revision of the author's thesis (doctoral)--University of 
       Hong Kong, 2006, titled On the patient-subject 
       construction in Chinese. 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  Introduction -- Previous studies of the patient-subject 
       construction -- What the PSC is not -- Syntactic and 
       semantic properties of patient-subject constructions -- 
       "Inactiveness" and "backgrounding" : PSC in discourse -- 
       PSC in typological perspective -- Summary and conclusion. 
520    "As a distinctive syntactic structure in Mandarin Chinese,
       the Patient-Subject Construction (PSC) is one of the most 
       interesting but least well-understood structures in the 
       language. This book offers a comprehensive account of the 
       history, structure, meaning and use of the PSC. Unlike 
       previous descriptions which were framed in terms of pre-
       existing grammatical notions such as 'topicalization', 
       'passivization' and 'ergativization', this book offers a 
       fresh look at the PSC, in which its syntactic and semantic
       as well as its discourse functions are examined within the
       system of major construction-types of the language as a 
       whole. The PSC, being low in transitivity, serves 
       primarily the function of backgrounding in discourse. 
       Typologically, the PSC bears a resemblance to middle 
       constructions in Indo-European and other languages, 
       raising interesting questions about ways to understand 
       congruent and divergent syntactic structures across the 
       world's languages. This book will be of interest to 
       students of Chinese Linguistics as well as Language 
       Typology"--|cProvided by publisher.
