Focusing on substitution and numeration of modern Chinese, this is the third volume of a classic on modern Chinese grammar by WANG Li, one of the most distinguished Chinese linguists.

In this volume, the author first introduces the different types of pronoun, such as personal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, resumptive pronoun, demonstrative pronoun and interrogative pronoun. Methods of numeration in modern Chinese are then delineated, encompassing such perspectives as cardinal number, ordinal number and numeration system of person, thing and behavior.

Including a wide variety of examples and analyses, this book is a must-read for Chinese language learners, as well as researchers and students studying Chinese linguistics and modern Chinese grammar.
