Abstract 摘要
This paper attempts to describe and discuss the structure of the “verbal sentence” and the “predicative sentence” in Early Zhou Chinese. In using the “slot-and-filler” technique, we arrive at a slot chain of sentence elements for each of these two. As a result, we can pinpoint the absolute position of a sentence element.
