A case study of A Grammar of the Chinese Colloquial Language, Commonly Called the Mandarin Dialect written by Joseph Edkins shows that the book has at least the following characteristics： language chunks are used as the basic units, the types of construction were given an analysis from a perspective of the grammatical meaning;Chinese word order was explained from the point of cognitive and experience structures of grown--ups; Grammatical variants were given due attention to enhance the function of speech communication. The achievement in this grammar writing, which was written by Edkins, a successful second language learner himself, can be used for reference to the international grammar teaching of Chinese language.
