Recenzii
“This volume is a long-overdue and vital response to the need for a comprehensive English-language study of Wang Li’s life and monumental academic legacy. As the first work of its kind, the book makes his scholarly heritage accessible to a worldwide readership. It aims not only to pay tribute to the great thinker but also to enrich our global understanding of language, culture, and China’s modern intellectual history. The relevance and insight of Wang Li’s academic thought remain vibrant today, and this volume serves as an indispensable key to unlocking that treasure.”
Guowen Huang, Professor of Applied Linguistics, City University of Macau
“his book on Wang Li is a real treat for Chinese linguists. Wang Li was a founding figure of Chinese linguistics whose work is classic in our field but, to the best of my knowledge, no book of this scope has ever been written in English about his life and works. The three authors carefully navigate their readers through Wang Li's fascinating life, and the book is not only an illuminating academic work but also a genuinely interesting read, which I definitely recommend for both academics and students with interest in Chinese studies and linguistics.”
