It examines the semantic correlation between a given classifier and its associated nouns. Nouns in Chinese, which are assigned specific classifiers according to their selected characteristics, reflect the process of human categorization. The concrete categories formed by the relationship between nouns and classifiers may serve to explain the conceptual structure of the Chinese language and certain underlying aspects of culture and human cognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong Jiang is Assistant Professor of Chinese for the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at university of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232642945368,"sku":"9780367598129","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367598129.jpg?v=1769679936","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/semantics-of-chinese-classifiers-and-linguistic-relativity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
