Abstract

Double nominative and discontinuous possessive structures in Chinese are investigated. It is demonstrated that base rules as postulated in current syntactic theories cannot adequately handle these cases. It is argued that predicates can consist of an entire sentence; i.e., VP can be written as S. With minor modifications, this proposed rule will also accommodate problematic ‘topic-comment’ sentences.
