Guanlian Qian is a renowned Chinese scholar focusing on pragmatics, theoretical linguistics, and philosophy of language. He is one of the few scholars engaged in original creation widely acknowledged in the sphere of linguistics. Virtually, none of his works repeats the forerunners. He was a visiting researcher of the International Pragmatics Association. So far he has published more than hundreds of essays at home and abroad, four monographs, many literature comments, prose, translations, and the like. Professor Qian opened in Chinese linguistic sphere the study of philosophy of language, having provided necessary nourishment to the sphere of linguistics. He puts stress on learning from the West at the same time when he establishes himself in local theoretical creation. The book is a case in point.
