The book review discusses Bingjun Yang's work on non-finiteness from a process-relation perspective, focusing on the challenges and universality of this linguistic concept in natural languages. Yang's book offers a comprehensive investigation into non-finiteness, proposing a framework based on systemic functional linguistics to better understand cross-linguistic generalizations. The review highlights the book's contributions to linguistic theory research, particularly in English and Chinese languages, and suggests potential applications in language processing, translation studies, and pedagogical studies. However, the review notes that the book's theoretical nature may require expertise in systemic functional linguistics for full comprehension, and suggests the inclusion of a more accessible framework for readers without professional knowledge.
