Comparative syntax
I am interested in both macro- and micro-variation. In the area of macro-variation, I have studied many languages from a comparative (macro-variation) perspective, such as Basque, French, and Chinese. In the area of micro-variation, I have mainly concentrated on Chinese languages, comparing Mandarin, Cantonese and Taiwanese (Cheng and Sybesma 1999). Since 2004, I have been working on Zulu, as well as other Bantu languages (from a comparative perspective) (Cheng 2006). |
