Matsushita Daizaburo (1878-1935) was a famous grammarian from the late Meiji period to the early Showa period in Japan. In 1927 he published the Standard Chinese Grammar, which is unique for its Conjunction Theory. Instead of focusing on words, it features distinctive "Phrase based grammar". Theoretical ideas and research methods with Mr Zhu Dexi's viewpoint have similarities, but there is a gap. The theory applies an analytical approach of American Structuralist Linguistics to illustrate Chinese grammar. He is the first scholar in the East to construct a framework of Chinese grammar theory by using Structural Linguistics. This paper examines Matsushita's "conjunctions" theory from the theoretical connotation and the significance in the history of grammar.
