Abstract
- Chapter 6 of the book “Grounding in Chinese Written Narrative Discourse" by Wendan Li is presented. It examines two types of complex predicates with juxtaposed Verbal Phrases, serial verb constructions (SVCs) and clauses with multiple aspectually marked VPs. This analysis focuses on predicates with two VPs that record actual, past events, although clauses with more VPs will be discussed from time to time for illustration purposes.
