Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar
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. William G. Boltz, Journal of Asian Studies 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. - Professor Wayne Schlepp, Deptartment of East Asian Studies, University of Toronto Finally there is a comprehensive grammar of Wenyan in English. Here in one volume one has handy the major grammar references needed to approach Classical Chinese texts. This useful book is the first comprehensive treatment of the grammar of the ancient form of Chinese used by the great philosophers like Confucius and Mencius.... useful to all students of Classical Chinese language and philosophy. - Wordtrade
