Проблемы китайского и общего языкознания. К 90-летию С. Е. Яхонтова

 525  Christoph Harbsmeier 1 A Summary of Classical Chinese Analytic Syntax: The System of Basic Syntactic Categories The romanisations given are those of modern Mandarin Chinese Pīnyīn. For reconstructed ancient pronunciations see the Phonology File in tls.uni-hd.de . What are analysed and exemplified below are the basic syntactic func- tions for which I have found it useful to register Lexeme Entries so far in Thesaurus Linguae Sericae. Ronald W. Langacker’s bold generalisation may hold some chastening truth for our efforts to make classical Chinese grammar as precise as we can: 1 In the 1980ies, when Professor Yakhontov taught Chinese linguistics for a semester in the University of Oslo, he left with me two fat folders of photocopies of his detailed notes on classical Chinese grammar, thousands of record cards. Together with the brief summary in Древнекитайский язык “Old Chinese Grammar” this has been of singular importance for my work on Chinese grammar ever since. For the present draft it is with great pleasure that I thank Professor Yakhontov’s student David Sehnal, my friend Göran Malmqvist, Stockholm, and my ēnshī 恩師 Jiang Shaoyu 蔣紹愚 , Peking, for detailed and substantial comments on every aspect of the many earlier versions of this draft. Of course, remaining mistakes and misconceptions are all my own responsibility. This draft is continuously be- ing revised and updated. It is to be used in conjunction with the Hànxuéwéndiăn 漢學文 典 Thesaurus Linguae Sericae which is currently being largely developed and expanded by cooperation between Princeton University and Kyoto University, but which for the time being can still be found at the following url: tls.uni-hd.de . An earlier version of this hand- out has been published in two parts in 汉语史学报 as 古漢語句法系統簡略 . Comments, suggestions, and criticisms will always remain welcome. The calligraphy above is by our long-term collaborator and dear friend, the philosopher Páng Pú 龐樸 (1928–2015).
