dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the question of whether Yueqing, a Southern Chinese variety, has a category of adjectives. It explores the morpho-syntactic properties of nouns, verbs and adjectives, and proposes that adjectival concepts are expressed by words that belong to the syntactic category of verbs in the language. It further examines the aspectual classification of adjectival verbs and non-adjectival verbs, and finds that adjectival verbs are a subclass of stative verbs. It also finds that although bare adjectival verbs behave like stative verbs, they are special stative verbs that have the potential to undergo aspectual coercion and represent situations that are similar to activities and achievements.en_US
