{"product_id":"9781138971592","title":"Constraints on Reflexivization in Mandarin Chinese","description":"First Published in 1997. Mandarin ziji has challenged many syntacticians to probe for its properties and specifically its relationship to Binding Condition A (BCA), which dictates that an anaphor must be bound by a syntactically prominent (or c-commanding) noun phrase in a very local domain (Governing Category or GC). This book argues for the separation of contrastive and non-contrastive reflexives. This book will also show that ben-ren\/shen and their compound forms, being inherently contrastive, differ from ziji and its compound forms in the contexts accessible to them; the latter can access linguistic contexts only, but the former can also access utterance situations and world knowledge.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46401217462513,"sku":"9781138971592","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781138971592_p0.jpg?v=1765190878","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781138971592","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
