The Syntactic Analysis of Unaccusative Verbs in Archaic Chinese IALP 2020, Kuala Lumpur, Dec 4-6, 2020 The Syntactic Analysis of Unaccusative Verbs in Archaic Chinese Mengbin Liu School of Humanities and Social Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen Shenzhen, China [email protected] Abstract—In this paper, I provide syntactic analysis on paper, I will conduct a study from formal syntax unaccusative verbs in Archaic Chinese. I argue that a zero or perspective. I will discuss whether these words in subject, covert nominalizer exists and triggers verbs in the subject or object or modifier positions are nouns or verbs and verify object position to undergo nominalization. When an my analysis through syntax. unaccusative verb appears in the position of prenominal 有 無 modifier, it behaves as predicate of a relative clause, rather I argue that such as You “existence”, wu than behave as modifier itself. This can be proven by the “nonexistence”, si 死 “death” and wang 亡 “death” in (1) relative operator zhi 之 in Archaic Chinese. When and (2) are still verbs rather than nouns and they do not unaccusative verbs sheng 生 “alive”, li 立 “stand” and zui 醉 directly behave as subject, object or modifier. I argue that “drunk” appear in the preverbal position, I argue that they when a verb appears in the subject or object position, it is are not verb compounds but syntactic phrases of “V1-V2” nominalized by a zero nominalizer. When it appears in the form, in which V1 behaves as adjunct. Through analysis, I prenominal modifier position, it actually behaves as the have done a more in-depth study on Archaic Chinese and predicate in a prenominal relative clause, rather than may shed light on the studies of formal syntax and modern directly behaves as the modifier. languages. According to the Unaccusative Hypothesis [3-4], verbs in a language can be divided into unaccusative and Keywords-Unaccusative Verbs ； Archaic Chinese ； unergative types. As claimed in the previous studies [5], Syntactic Analysis the Unaccusative Hypothesis can widely applied to Modern Chinese and can also be applied into Archaic I. INTRODUCTION Chinese. Since unaccusative verbs and unergative verbs Verbs normally behave as the predicate of a sentence. differ from each other in both semantics and syntax, we However, according to the traditional point of view, verbs focus on our syntactic analysis on the unaccusative verbs can also behave as subject, object and modifier [1-2]. I in Archaic Chinese in this paper. consider it necessary and significant to conduct a more in- II. THE SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS depth analysis from formal syntax perspective. I will focus on Archaic Chinese and examples are shown below. In this section, I first conduct syntactic analysis on unaccusative verbs in subject and object positions in (1) 有生于無。(《老子》) Archaic Chinese, then conduct syntactic analysis on you sheng yu wu (Laozi) unaccusative verbs in the modifier position. existence live from nonexistence “Things came into being because of A. Unaccusative verbs in subject and object positions emptiness.” Unaccusative verbs may appear in subject or object position, as shown in (1) and more examples below. (2) 死亡之患,臣弗敢畏也.（《戰國策·秦 3》） siwang zhi huan, chen fu gan wei ye (3) 死生有命。(《論語·顏淵》) (Zhanguoce.Qin3) si sheng you ming. (Lunyu.Yanyuan) death Prt worry minister not dare afraid Prt death life have destiny “As for death, I dare not worry about it.” “To die or to live is determined by destiny.” You 有 “existence” and wu 無 “nonexistence” in (1) (4) 群臣懼死。(《左傳·昭公 5 年》) frequently behave as predicates, but here they appear in qun chen ju si (Zuozhuan.Zhaogong5nian) the subject and object position respectively. Similarly, si group minister afraid death 死 “death” and wang 亡 “death” in (2) which normally “The ministers are afraid of dying.” behave as predicates appear here in the modifier position. (5) 事亡如事存。(《中庸》) Are they really verbs directly behaving as subject, object or modifier as seen from the traditional point of shi wang ru shi cun (zhongyong) view? Many linguists may argue this way because they treat death like treat life consider the part of speech is not clear in Chinese, as “Treat the dead ones as good as when they are claimed in the traditional literatures like [1-2]. However, alive.” they did not show enough evidence for such argument. Therefore, I consider this analysis too simplified. In this 1 978-1-7281-7689-5/20/$31.00 c 2020 IEEE 351 Sheng 生 “live”, cun 存 “existence” and wang 亡 “death” (9), nouns are used after genitive marker zhi 之 and in (3)-(5) are unaccusative verbs normally behave as genitive pronoun qi 其.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

  • The Yijing Hexagrams on Decay and Discordance
    Coping with Contingency and Uncertainty: The Yijing Hexagrams on Decay and Discordance Tze-ki Hon Sungkyun Journal of East Asian Studies, Volume 19, Number 1, April 2019, pp. 1-17 (Article) Published by Duke University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/725766 [ Access provided at 28 Sep 2021 08:26 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Sungkyun Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.19 No.1 © 2019 Academy of East Asian Studies. 1-17 DOI: 10.21866/esjeas.2019.19.1.001 Coping with Contingency and Uncertainty: The Yijing Hexagrams on Decay and Discordance* Tze-ki HON City University of Hong Kong ABSTRACT As a manual for divination, the Yijing is filled with stern warnings about calamity, regret, and remorse, as if the world is falling apart. These warnings not only underscore the contingency and unpredictability of the universe, but also direct attention to the dark side of human existence and things such as disease, deformation, degeneration, and death. Over the centuries, many commentators have attempted to make sense of these warnings. In this article, I will compare three commentators’ interpretations of four hexagrams: Gu 蠱 (Decay, #18), Daguo 大過 (Crossing of the Great, #28), Kui 睽 (Discordance, #38) and Jian 蹇 (Crippled, #39). Through the comparison, I demonstrate how the Yijing can be used to address the human fear of uncertainty and chance. Keywords: Contingency, fear, hexagrams, human finitude, uncertainty, Yijing Similar to other ancient Chinese texts, the Yijing 易經 (Book of changes) went through a long process of compilation. It began as a collection of divination records of the Western Zhou period (1100–771 BCE).

  • Subsuming Western Science Under a Daoist Epistemology In
    A DAOIST’S ENCOUNTER WITH MODERNITY —SUBSUMING WESTERN SCIENCE UNDER A DAOIST EPISTEMOLOGY IN THE STORY OF EIGHT IMMORTALS WHO ATTAINED THE DAO by MICHELLE YINGZHI AN B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2015 © Michelle Yingzhi An, 2015 Abstract This study of a mid-nineteenth century novel, The Story of Eight Immortals Who Attained the Dao (Baxian dedao zhuan 八仙得道传, 1868), focuses on how the author Wugou daoren 无垢道人 (Immaculate Daoist, fl. 1868) employs the novel form to propagate his religious beliefs and confront Western ideas that were spreading through China during his lifetime. Examining the historical background of the novel and textual evidence within the narrative, this study argues that Wugou daoren, as a Daoist practitioner, tries to validate Daoism by subsuming Western science under a Daoist epistemology. The author is very skilful in setting up an epistemological structure that claims that Western scientific discoveries and inventions—specifically knowledge about electricity and the moon—are derived from Daoist knowledge. To this end, Wugou daoren employs several rhetorical strategies, including commentaries and characters’ discursive speeches, to make his case. The author’s reaction to Western science provides valuable textual evidences of a religious crisis in mid-nineteenth century China in its encounter with the West. This novel, in which history and religion play equally important roles in its literary formation, provides modern readers with textual traces of how religion negotiated its co- existence with modernity during this period of China’s history.

  • Dragon Boat Dumplings Step by Step Make Sure a Grown-Up Has Looked Over the Recipe and Can Help at the Stove
    A Brief Overview of China China is one of the world's oldest civilizations. Its written history goes back 3,500 years. China lies in eastern Asia. It is the world's largest nation in population, and is the third largest in area. Only Russia and Canada have more territory. What does spaghetti, a wheelbarrow, the compass, paper, gunpowder, silk cloth, porcelain and acrobatics have in common? They were all invented in China. The first recorded use of gunpowder by the military was during a period of Chinese history known as the Five Dynasties. They simply put the gun powder in clay posts, set it on fire and threw it. The fiery explosion was enough to send their enemies running in the other direction. Several hundred years before the invention of gun powder, in a period known as the Qin Dynasty, something we use everyday without even thinking much about it was invented: paper! The Chinese take great pride in what is known as "the four inventions," the compass, gunpowder, paper and printing. They should be proud! These inventions transformed sea transport, warfare and literacy -not just in China but all over the world. What about spaghetti? If you think spaghetti is Italian, think again. Spaghetti originated in China. And the next time you are in a hardware store and pass a wheelbarrow, remind yourself that it was invented in China also. Although we have put to use many of the things the Chinese people have invented, there are some practices in China which are much different from what we are used to.

  • Of Emperors and Sky Gods of EMPERORS AND
    Of Emperors and Sky Gods OF EMPERORS AND SKY GODS Part 1 describes who the Sky Gods were. Part 2 (this thread) describes what the Sky Gods flew. Part 3 describes what the Sky Gods did. Topic started on 21-10-2009 @ 06:31 AM by Skyfloating DIGG ATS for original content more info Part 1 of a 3 part Series Writing and Research 2009 by Skyfloating for ATS Ancient accounts around the world speak – almost without exception – of “Sky People” and “Sky Gods” descending to planet earth, flying through the skies, coming from and returning to the stars. Many accounts even specifically name the stars from which those “Gods” travelled to earth (Native Hawaiian legends for example claiming we are descendant from “Sky Gods” who came from the Pleiades). It is from such worldwide concordance that the “Ancient Astronaut Theory” arose. The theory is still rejected by large parts of global society because it puts most of our belief- systems to question. This article will focus on the Asian and especially Chinese aspects about which not much has been published yet. “The Three Sovereigns” of Ancient China The officially recognized and recorded History of China begins with the Shang-Dynasty (1600 – 1046) and somewhat with its predecessor the Xia Dynasty (2100-1600 BC). Of what happened before “little is known”, so they say. The truth is that much of what is recorded as prehistory is viewed as fiction in modern China. Stripped of its lore, nothing much than some pottery from the Neolithic Age remains. But if we include the older oral records of Chinese Prehistory we soon have odd looking Gods descending from the sky, advanced technology and spaceflight.

  • Manufacturing Martial Spirit Ethos, Ideology and Identity in the Chinese Martial Arts Douglas Wile
    Douglas Wile gained his doctorate in East Asian Languages from the CONTRIBUTOR University of Wisconsin. He is currently professor emeritus from the City University of New York. His research interests include revolution in the late-imperial, Republican and Communist periods, martial arts historiography, the translation of premodern taijiquan literature and embodied practices in the humanities curriculum.
