The linguistic study of Chinese, with its rich morphological, syntactic and prosodic/tonal structures, its complex writing system, and its diverse socio-historical background, is already a long-established and vast research area. With contributions from internationally renowned experts in the field, this Handbook provides a state-of-the-art survey of the central issues in Chinese linguistics. Chapters are divided into four thematic areas: writing systems and the neuro-cognitive processing of Chinese, morpho-lexical structures, phonetic and phonological characteristics, and issues in syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse. By following a context-driven approach, it shows how theoretical issues in Chinese linguistics can be resolved with empirical evidence and argumentation, and provides a range of different perspectives. Its dialectical design sets a state-of-the-art benchmark for research in a wide range of interdisciplinary and cross-lingual studies involving the Chinese langua

從東、西方古今藝術品中錘煉而成的創作原則裝飾紋樣與印花設計領域必不可少的理論和實務著作 1856年於倫敦出版問世的《紋飾法則》（The Grammar of Ornament）被譽為英國美術工藝運動先鋒（Arts & Crafts Movement）鉅作。本書收錄一百幅精美的彩色圖版，旨在引領讀者深入觀摩東西方幾千年文化底蘊下最具代表性的裝飾藝術（decorative art）典範與應用方法。作者費盡苦心搜羅，橫跨廣袤土地與時間長河所梳理出的設計進程，為後世打通一條清晰的設計思路。爾後，瓊斯終其一生耕耘裝飾藝術之研究。他於1867 年親筆將晚清因戰亂流傳至西方的中國工藝珍藏繪製成平面圖版，並以前作中著名的〈建築暨裝飾的37條造形與色彩基本原則〉逐一分析中國傳統紋飾的設計方法，集結成《中國紋飾法則》（Examples of Chinese Ornament: Selected from Objects in the South Kensington Museum and Other Collections）。書中揭示中國紋飾的元素與構圖，經由中國人獨樹一格的配色，展現優雅恬靜、具皇家風采，又或者奇特而帶有異國情調的多重面貌，重塑了當時西方對中國的既有審美觀。本書做為裝飾藝術史不朽巨著《紋飾法則》的延續，在歷時十年後，與前作攜手交織出耐人尋味的風格脈絡。作者精闢的見解，對十九世紀下半葉工藝界，乃至於現代工業設計發展，皆有不可抹滅的重要價值。《Pattern Design 圖解圖樣設計》為日本設計家藤田伸（Fujita Shin）多年的研究成果。作者在這本向歐文‧瓊斯、拉西涅（Auguste Racinet）、艾雪（M.C. Escher）等大家致敬的技法教學書中，歸納出17種平面對稱群組的國際共通標記（包括平移、鏡射、旋轉、分割的變化式）。透過重複和拼合手法拆解圖樣規律，引發讀者一步步嘗試的樂趣、進而重組出極具現代感的迷人作品。 此一主題珍稀的套書之中，單本有其無與倫比的個性、交互對照又相得益彰。在如今人人都能取得生產工具且科技日新月異的趨勢下，如能融會貫通書中所提出的創作概念與具體方法，設計者更能奠定自身在市場中不斷推陳出新、屹立不搖的根本之道。 *** 單書介紹 ***《紋飾法則：奠定當代設計思維的37條造型與色彩基本原則》英國
