  • Abstract
    Nominal predicate sentences (NPS) in Chinese can be divided into two categories: NPS1 and NPS2. NPS1 that can be transformed into SHI (be) sentences are mainly assertive and static, whereas NPS2 that can´t be transformed into SHI sentences are mainly descriptive, declarative and dynamic. There are two main differences between NPS and SHI sentences: different styles and different prominent degrees of information focus.
