Vietnamese Monograph (work in progress)

On this page, you will find links to in-progress drafts of early chapters of a proposed monograph Close to Perfect: Particles and Projections in Vietnamese Syntax, also drafts of previously written articles that I intend to incorporate into later chapters. In all cases, I appreciate any comments or constructive criticism that will help me to create a more satisfactory volume. Please email me directly—n.g.duffield "at" sheffield.ac.uk—putting "Vietnamese Monograph" in the Subject Header.
