Reviews for The Handbook of Chinese Linguistics
“…a solid, broad and organized introduction to Chinese linguistics. . . it has much to offer both newcomers to the field and more seasoned scholars of Chinese linguistics. . . worth having in one’s university library, if not in one’s personal collection.” (Linguist List, 3 November 2015)
