Grammar of Mandarin Chinese

Post by Jana Masala »

Hello all

I'm looking for a free (and legal) grammar of Mandarin Chinese on the web, preferably downloadable in PDF format. This should include phonology etc as well as morphology (as little as there is) and syntax. In other words, a full grammar.

I would have posted this in the "linguistic resources you wish existed" thread, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks!

How about a grammar of Spanish? Latin American, and more specifically Mexican, Spanish is preferred if such specificities are made. Thanks again, and to sano for the downloads.

Does anybody know of any grammar of a Latin American dialect, in whatever language, in print (or online, if such a thing miraculously exists)? Almost all of the grammars I've seen are about standard Spaniard Spanish. Comparisons may be made with standard Mexican Spanish or "Latin American" Spanish (choosing standard Mexican sometimes, or doing idiosyncratic combinations of this and this other dialect (no idea how useful that could be to anybody)), but they still use such form of Spaniard Spanish as the starting point. The Academies' grammar is nicely dialect-neutral, but naturally it's still not a grammar about a Latin American dialect.
