A Response to Ways and the Syntax of Noun Phrases in Qinghai Chinese Dialects

Abstract: 

In the course of offering a review of Zhang Chengcai's Ways, this paper describes the syntax of noun phrases in the Chinese dialect of Huangshui, in Qinghai Province. Unlike other Chinese dialects, this dialect employs several postpositions for indicating syntactic nominal relationships. The origin of this phenomenon in contact with non-Sinitic languages in the region and its significance are also explored.
