T he book is a study on intensifiers and reflexive pronouns between two on Lin Wang
C
languages (English and Mandarin Chinese) and the first one drawing a A
complete picture in this domain. It provides the full uses of self, zìjı˘ and se:
e
beˇnrén. In the case of beˇnrén, here for the first time the full use of this pronoun hin
in Mandarin Chinese is analysed. It is also the first book that uses contrastive n C
study to talk about intensifiers and reflexive pronouns, which reveals many hid- ari
d
den characteristics of the intensifiers and reflexive pronouns that otherwise n
a
M
cannot be seen. It is based on the most distinctive research of the latest 30 years
d
in the linguistic field. n
