DDJ Grammar

Recommended Posts

Do we only have two forms of punctuation in the DDJ? The period and comma? I've noticed Henricks skips right over a lot of periods to link two sentences together.

Classical Chinese does not have periods or commas, * these are part of the English interpretations.

It uses a different system for marking pauses in the text, e.g. characters like 也 and patterns of repetition.

 

* exceptions, see intro Henricks MWD
