This is a concise and practical dictionary of the function words of the modern Chinese language. The dictionary entries include all the function words and phrases of the language. There are altogether 947 entries including 565 adverbs, 59 prepositions, 139 conjugations, 44 particles, 38 interjections, 36 compounds and 66 structures. This new dictionary has several improvements upon its previous version: all the entries are sequenced alphabetically instead of by parts of speech, and the examples are all taken from everyday life rather than works of literature. There is pinyin translation and a phonetic alphabetical index.
