Presentation and Analysis of 'Xiehouyu' in Literature and as a Linguistic Phenomenon

Summary/Abstract: My work is concerned with the topic of xiehouyu, a phenomenon specific to the Chinese language, but little known in Poland. I try to present and analyse xiehouyu and its use in literature. The paper consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, I describe xiehouyu in general. The second chapter analyses the use of xiehouyu in Chinese literature. The last chapter offers a summary of the significance of xiehouyu. By means of concrete examples and textual analysis, the article aims to help readers grasp the meaning and value of xiehouyu and to deepen their understanding of Chinese literary works and the Chinese way of thinking.
