What are the 8 parts of speech in classical Chinese?
Classical Chinese, also known as Literary Chinese or Wenyanwen, has eight parts of speech that are similar to those in modern English. They are nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. However, unlike in modern English, classical Chinese does not use separate words for some of these parts of speech. For example, there is no specific word for "verb," but verbs can be identified by their position and function in a sentence. Instead, classical Chinese focuses on the order and structure of words to convey meaning.
