Abstract: In Chinese linguistics, the Sani language is a southeastern dialect of the Yi language. Sani is rich in structural particles, which can be categorized into subject particles, predicate particles, object particles, attribute particles, adverbial particles and complement particles in accordance with their respective modifying elements in a sentence. Each particle has its own grammatical form and grammatical meaning. In comparison, the subject particles, object particles, adverbial particles and complement particles are more numerous in quantity and more complicated in usage than those of predicate particles and attribute particles.

Key words: the Sani language of Yi, structural particle, research
