    <title>Module 2: Biographic Information</title>
    <para>The Biographic Information Module provides you with linguistic and cultural skills needed
        for a simple conversation typical of a first-meeting situation in China. These skills
        include those needed at the beginning of a conversation (greetings, introductions, and forms
        of address), in the middle of a conversation (understanding and answering questions about
        your­self and your immediate family), and at the end of a conversation
        (leave-taking).</para>
    <para> Before starting this module, you must take and pass the ORN Criterion Test. The resource
        modules Pronunciation and Romanization and Numbers (tapes 1-4) are also prerequisites to the
        BIO Module.</para>
    <para> The Criterion Test will focus largely on this module, but material from Module 1 and
        associated resource modules may also be included.</para>

                        way to give a short affirmative answer is to repeat the verb used in the
                        question. Some verbs, however, may not be repeated as short answers.
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Zhù</foreignphrase> is one
                        such verb. Others not to be used are <foreignphrase

                        given-named." Many speakers do not repeat the verb <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài</foreignphrase> as a short answer. To
                        give a short "yes" answer to questions containing these verbs, you use

                    <para>But these are not hard and fast rules. The use or omission of

                        determined solely by the number of syllables in a phrase or by the closeness
                        between the possessor and the possessed, although both of these

                    <para>The sentence <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā zài Táinán
                            gōngzuò</foreignphrase> seems to have two verbs: <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài</foreignphrase>, "to be in/at/on," and
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">gōngzuò</foreignphrase>," to
                        work." But there is only one verb in the translation: "He works in Tainan."
                        The translation reflects the fact that <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài</foreignphrase> loses its full verb
                        status in this sentence and plays a role like that of the English
                        preposition "in" The <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >zài</foreignphrase> phrase in Chinese, like the "in" phrase in English,
                        gives more information about the main verb <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">gōngzuò</foreignphrase>; that is, it tells
                        where the action takes place. "He works," and the work takes place "in
                        Tainan." In sentences like this, the word <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài</foreignphrase> is a prepositional verb.
                        Most relationships expressed by prepositions in English are expressed by
                        prepositional verbs in Chinese.</para>
                    <para>You have also seen <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >zài</foreignphrase> used as a prepositional verb in the sentence
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">nǐ zhù zài
                            náli?</foreignphrase> "Where do you live?" --literally, "You live at
                        where?" Notice that in this sentence the prepositional verb phrase
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài náli</foreignphrase> comes
                        after the main verb <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >zhù</foreignphrase>. In the sentence <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Nǐ zài náli gōngzuò?</foreignphrase> the
                        prepositional verb phrase <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài
                            náli</foreignphrase> conies before the main verb <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">gōngzuò</foreignphrase>. Many things, such as
                        stress, contrast, and other objects in the sentence, can influence the order
                        of the prepositional verb phrase and the main verb.</para>
                    <para>In some cases, either order may be used, as in <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Nǐ zài náli zhù?</foreignphrase> or
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Nǐ zhù zài
                            náli?</foreignphrase>. In other cases, the word order is fixed, as in
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Nǐ zài náli gōngzuò?
                        </foreignphrase>For text examples, it will be pointed out whether or not the
                        word order may be changed, and the reasons will be given.</para>

                            >bù</foreignphrase> comes before the prepositional verb <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài</foreignphrase> (which starts the
                        complete predicate <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài Táiběi

                        for you are not saying "He does NOT WORK," but you are saying "He does NOT

                    <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Háizi</foreignphrase> may be
                        either "child" or "children."<footnote>
                            <para>A few nouns referring to people may be made explicitly plural by
                                adding -<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"

                        </footnote>Usually the context will make clear whether a noun should be
                        translated as singular or as plural, but not always. Chinese does not
                        require that the matter be pinned down to the same extent that English
                        does.</para>

                        <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒmen yǒu háizi</foreignphrase> is
                        a perfectly good sentence, even though the only accurate translation is the
                        clumsy "We have one or more children." We would prefer to have enough
                        information to translate it either as "We have a child" or as "We have
                        children." </para>
                    <para>At times this ambiguity is an advantage. When you ask <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Nǐmen yǒu háizi ma?</foreignphrase> you do
                        not, after all, know whether you are referring to one child or to more than
                        one child. To cover both bets in the same way in English, we have to say "Do
                        you have any children?"</para>

                    <para><emphasis role="bold">Counters</emphasis>: In Chinese, a noun cannot be
                        counted or specified (i.e., used with <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">něi-</foreignphrase> "which," <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">nèi-</foreignphrase>, "that," <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zhèi-</foreignphrase>, "this") without the
                        addition of a bound word, a counter, to indicate the sort of thing being
                        specified or counted. English has a few such counters, as "head" in "how
                        many head of cattle" and "loaves" in " seven loaves of bread."</para>
                    <para>The counter used in a particular instance depends on the noun "being
                        specified or counted. Many nouns have special counters. You have already
                        learned the polite counter for persons, <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-wèi</foreignphrase>. Other special counters
                        refer in some way to the kind of thing the noun represents. The word for
                        "hotel," for instance, has a special counter <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-jiā</foreignphrase>, "house," used for
                        counting or specifying business establishments.</para>
                    <para>The general counter <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-ge</foreignphrase> is used with nouns that do not have special
                        counters. For example, there is no special counter for the word
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">pùbù</foreignphrase>,
                        "waterfall," so you would say <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yíge
                            pùbù</foreignphrase>, "one waterfall." You have already found the
                        general counter <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-ge</foreignphrase> in specifying expressions such as <foreignphrase

                        and <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zhèige
                        fàndiàn</foreignphrase>,"this hotel."</para>
                    <para>You may find that, in colloquial speech, nouns that have special counters
                        are sometimes used with <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-ge</foreignphrase> anyway, but this tendency is looked down upon by
                        many speakers.</para>

                    <para>We translated the sentence <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā

                        Through the use of and other one-syllable markers (<foreignphrase

                        Chinese language indicates whether the occurrence being talked about is
                        completed, ongoing, about to occur, or experienced for the first time.
                        Aspect markers may also be used to indicate whether the whole situation in
                        the sentence is a new, changed situation.</para>
                    <para>"<emphasis role="bold">Completion</emphasis>" and "new situation" are not
                            <emphasis role="bold">tenses</emphasis> but <emphasis role="bold"
                            >aspects</emphasis>. Aspect is a way of talking about events or
                        activities in relation to time. While tenses categorize action in terms of
                        features such as completeness and change. Aspect markers are very different
                        from tense markers because the same aspect may be used in past, present, and
                        future contexts. We may speak of an action that will be completed as of a
                        future time, for example, or of a situation that was new as of a past time.
                        English communicates these ideas to a certain extent through the use of many
                        different tenses for the verb (future perfect, simple past, etc,). Chinese
                        does this through the use of aspect markers and time words. The verbs
                        themselves do not change form.</para>
                    <para>Le is used in exchange 2 to indicate two aspects-completion and new
                        situation, (it is, however, often used to indicate only one aspect.)</para>
                    <para>Here, it indicates that the person has come, meaning that the action is
                        completed, and that the person is now here, a changed situation. When the
                        marker <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le</foreignphrase> refers
                        to both these aspects, we call it "combined <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le</foreignphrase>." Combined le can be
                        thought of as a telescoping of the completion le followed by a new-situation
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le</foreignphrase>:
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le le</foreignphrase> becomes
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le</foreignphrase>. In the
                        next two units, you will see the marker <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le</foreignphrase> used to Indicate each of
                        these aspects separately.</para>

                        because you already know that Mr. Sun came and now you are asking for
                        additional information about his visit. Many types of additional information
                        can be focus points for which the <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >(shì)...de</foreignphrase> construction is used. </para>

                    <para>Other possible focus points are place, cause of action, goal of action,

                    <para>Now let's take a look at how <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"

                            >de</foreignphrase> function separately in this construction. The verb
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">shì</foreignphrase>, coming
                        before the phrase which is the center of interest, serves as a signal that
                        what follows is emphasised. The verb "to "be" is often used in a similar way
                        in English to mark the center of interest:<informaltable>

                    <para>Another way of showing the center of interest in English is by word

                        "How old are you?" literally means "How big (in years of age) are you?" This
                        is a common way to ask a person's age. The question is appropriate for
                        asking the age of a child or a young adult, but the expression is not
                        considered polite enough for asking an older adult his age. (More formal
                        ways to ask a person's age will be introduced on the C-2, P-2, and drill
                        tapes.)</para>

                        (sometimes called change of state") is a Chinese grammatical category with

                    <para><emphasis role="bold">Verb types in Chinese:</emphasis> In studying some
                        languages, it is important to learn whether a noun is masculine, feminine,
                        or neuter. In Chinese, it is important to learn whether a verb is an action,
                        state, or process verb. These three verb categories are meaning (semantic)
                        groups. A verb is a member of one group or another depending on the meaning
                        of the verb. For instance, "running" and "dancing" are actions; "being good"
                        and "being beautiful" are states; and "getting sick" and "melting" are
                        processes. In Chinese, grammatical rules are applied differently to each
                        semantic verb category. For the most part, you have learned only action and
                        state verbs in this course; so these comments will be confined to those two
                        verb categories. (See Unit 8 of this module for process verbs,)</para>
                    <para><emphasis role="bold">Action verbs:</emphasis> These are verbs which
                        describe physical and mental activities. The easiest to classify are verbs
                        of movement such as "walking," "running," and "riding", however, action
                        verbs also include verbs with not too much motion, such as "working" and
                        "writing," and verbs with no apparent motion, such as "studying." One test
                        for determining if a verb is an action is asking "What did he do?" "He
                        arrived," "He spoke," and ’"He listened" are answers which contain action
                        verbs. "He knew" "He wanted" and "He is here" are answers which contain
                        state verbs, not action verbs. Some of the action verbs you have learned

                            >-guo</foreignphrase> means literally "to pass over," "to cross over.
                        The implication is that an event took place and then ceased at some time in
                        the past.</para>
                    <para>It may help you to conceptualize <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-guo</foreignphrase> in terms of a bridge. The whole bridge is the
                        event. The marker <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-guo</foreignphrase> stresses the fact that not only have you crossed
                        over the bridge but at present you are no longer standing on it. </para>
                    <para>The meaning of <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-guo</foreignphrase> changes slightly depending on what type of verb it
                        is used with: action or process, (<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-guo</foreignphrase> may not be used with state verbs.) With an action
                        verb, <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase> means
                        that the action took place and then ceased at some time before the present.
                        With a process verb, <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-guo</foreignphrase> means that the process took place and that the
                        state which resulted from the process ended at some time before the present. </para>
                    <para>Remember that aspect markers like <foreignphrase

                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase> are used only when the
                        speaker feels it necessary to stress some feature or aspect of an event. Le
                        is used to stress finishing, or completion, <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase> is used to stress that a
                        situation occurred in the past and was "over or "undone," before the time of
                        speaking (that is, the absence of that situation followed the situation). </para>
                    <para>Let's contrast <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-guo</foreignphrase> with completion <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">le</foreignphrase>: both <foreignphrase

                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase> express completion, but
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase> stresses
                        that an action is no longer being performed, or that a state resulting from
                        a process no longer exists. </para>
                    <para>For example, <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā lái
                            le.</foreignphrase> means "He came," or "He has come," not indicating
                        whether or not he is still there. </para>
                    <para>But <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā láiguo</foreignphrase>
                        means "He came" with the specification that he is not there anymore –that
                        is, he came and left.</para>
                    <para>One of the uses of the aspect marker <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase>,is in sentences which
                        express experience or having experienced something at least once in the
                        past, that is, "to have had the experience of doing something." This is how
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">-guo</foreignphrase> is used
                        in exchange 11. In a question, the marker <foreignphrase

                    <para>The verb <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bìng</foreignphrase>,
                        "to get sick," "to become ill," is a process verb; that is the activity
                        described includes some changes in the situation. Process verbs tell of an
                        action which has caused a change from one state to another, as from whole to
                        broken ("to break") and from frozen to melted ("to melt"). <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Bìng</foreignphrase> is typical of process
                        verbs: not only is an action described (coming down with an illness) but
                        also a resulting state (being ill). Because of this typical combination,
                        process verbs are sometimes thought of as combining the semantic
                        characteristics of action and state verbs.</para>
                    <para>One of the main purposes of talking about verbs in terms of action, state,
                        and process is to draw attention to the fact that the Chinese way of
                        expressing something may not correspond to the English. </para>
                    <para>For instance,</para>
                    <para>"I am sick" in Chinese is <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒ
                            bìng le. </foreignphrase>("I have gotten sick"). For "I am not sick,"
                        you say <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒ méi
                            bìng.</foreignphrase> ("I didn't get sick").</para>
                    <para>Process verbs are always made negative with m|i9 regardless of whether you
                        are referring to past, present, or future.<informaltable>

                    <para>Another reason for putting verbs into categories according to the type of
                        meaning is to discover how verbs behave in sentences. Knowing whether a verb
                        is in the action, state, or process category, you will know what aspect
                        markers and negatives may be used with that verb. In the following charts, a
                        check mark means that this combination of verb and aspect occurs in the language.<informaltable>
