Grammar of Chinese Titles provides the first systematic exploration of modern Chinese title language in an accessible Q&A format. The book begins with foundational discussions on research values and methodologies, addressing key topics such as title typology, specific verbal constructions, bound constructions, temporal-quantitative heading patterns, semantic properties, and punctuation conventions. It consolidates insights previously scattered across dictionaries and journal articles, adopting an integrative framework that combines synchronic description with diachronic analysis across syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The findings advance pragmatic theory and offer practical guidance for title compilation and applications in automated natural language processing. Future research directions include cross-genre and cross-linguistic comparative studies on titles. This volume is an essential resource for researchers and students in applied linguistics and Chinese language studies, as well as for journalists, librarians, translators, and computational linguistics practitioners seeking authoritative insights into Chinese title conventions and their linguistic features.
