Are There Any Logical Problems with the "Noun-verb Inclusion" Hypothesis?

This paper is intended to discuss the issues raised in Jin Lixin's recent article appearing in Journal of Foreign Languagesas to whether there are logical problems with the "Noun-verb Inclusion" hypothesis.It is mainly concerned with whether the true nature of Chinese can be accounted for in terms of the "Separation of A and B" pattern and the logical syllogism advocated by the Western logicians, and whether the "Noun-verb Inclusion" hypothesis violates the logical axiom and the inference rules cherished by the logical syllogism.It aims to clarify some misinterpretations and presents the author's position as well.
