Du's Handbook of Classical Chinese Grammar

This grammar work with explanations and over 800 examples provides an excellent grounding for both a student embarking upon a Classical Chinese course and for someone seeking to improve their Classical Chinese through self-study. A comprehensive, example-fi lled section on the uses and meanings of over 60 function characters provides rich material for the more advanced student; particularly since it does not shirk from offering differing interpretations. With the provision of full tonal pinyin throughout and a glossary of all characters used, this is the only Classical Chinese grammar which is both stand-alone and userfriendly.
