This is an introductory book on Chinese register grammar, which systematically introduces the origin of the studies of Chinese register grammar, its three-part system, its principles and mechanisms and their application in language practice and teaching. Meanwhile, the grammatical means by which register is realized are analyzed through a case study of “当” and “在”. Combining general principles with specific cases and theories with practice, this book expounds some new propositions such as “register is different from style” and “different registers are different grammatical systems”.

编辑推荐
本书是作者献给大家的有关汉语语体语法研究的第一步成果。书稿发掘了一批汉语语体语法的新现象，建立了语体语法的基础理论。

研读本书，我们不仅可以了解作为“调距”手段，语体是如何帮助我们推远、拉近或保持交际距离的，而且还可以看到这种“调距”手段是如何影响汉语语法面貌的：为什么同为“V+V”结构，“买和读”不合法，而“购买和阅读”就得体适用？为什么可以“遍查”，却不能“普遍查”？类似的问题都可以从本书中找到解答。
