| 英文摘要 |
Vietnamese is one of the less studied languages from a formal perspective, despite Vietnam being a country with close to a hundred million people. The publication of this book is especially welcome, for the empirical facts under investigation contribute to our understanding of linguistic theory. The papers in this volume cover several aspects of the Vietnamese language: phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, acquisition and language use. Some of them consider dialects other than the standard (Ha Noi) dialect. The method of research undertaken here is for the most part based on controlled experiments. |
