Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This text presents a study of Mandarin grammar through discourse analysis by investigating temporal markers such as "zheng", "zhengzai" and "zai" to describe the temporality of ongoing situations, events, or actions. The temporal markers are analyzed in terms of semantic import, syntactic constraints and pragmatic functions.
