Topic-comment constructions in the acquisition of Chinese as a second/foreign language
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe main purpose of this study is to investigate factors involved in the learning of five Mandarin Chinese 'topic' constructions by adult English speakers in a formal classroom setting. The focal point of investigation is the effect the subject-prominence of English grammar has on the learning of Chinese topic constructions. All five types of topic are in the surface structural form of topic-subject-verb-(object).
