Book Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation

Download or read book Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation written by Edwin G. Pulleyblank and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1991-06-01 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for his pioneering work in Chinese historical phonetics, Edwin Pulleyblank has compiled this Lexicon to present in convenient dictionary form the result of his researches on the phonology of Middle Chinese and its evolution to Mandarin. The Lexicon complements Pulleyblank's earlier book, Middle Chinese, by providing reconstructed pronunciation for approximately 8,000 Chinese characters at three historical stages. Early Middle Chinese is the language of the Qieyun rhyme dictionary of AD 601, which codified the standard literary language of both North and South China the preceding period of division. Pulleyblank's reconstruction is a thorough reworking of that of Bernhard Karlgren, completed in the twenties, and in some respects differs radically from it. Late Middle Chinese is the standard language of the High Tang Dynasty, based on the dialect of the capital, Chang'an. It has not been reconstructed previously as a separate stage but is of special importance, since it is the ancestor of most modern dialects. Early Mandarin represents the speech of the Yuan capital, Dadu (present Beijing), around the year 1300, for which Pulleyblank's reconstruction differs considerably from that of Hugh M. Stimson. The sources and methods used in these reconstructions were fully discussed in Middle Chinese, but recent developments in phonological theory have led to some modifications in detail. The entries are arranged alphabetically according to the Pinyin system with an index, by the traditional Kangxi radical and stroke numbers. The Morohashi number is also given for each character, enabling easy reference to this important Chinese thesaurus. Another useful feature of the Lexicon is the inclusion of the numbers in Karlgren's Grammata Serica for characters that are included in that work. Concise English equivalents for the Chinese words are also provided. Reconstructed forms are given in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Though this requires a number of phonetic signs and diacritical marks, these are carefully explained in the introduction. Every effort has been made to provide a useful tool for students of Chinese literature and China's relations with foreign countries, as well as for specialists in Chinese linguistics.

Book A STUDY OF THE SADU LANGUAGE

Download or read book A STUDY OF THE SADU LANGUAGE written by BAI Bibo and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A STUDY OF THE SADU LANGUAGE provides linguists with intriguing data conducive to interlingual comparisons and particularly, to the study of Generative Linguistics that aims to discover Universal Grammar and Language Faculty of human kind. It offers readers a glimpse of China’s research in the field of ethnic minority languages and does good to linguistic exchanges between China and other countries. The Sadu language is a newly discovered yet seriously endangered one spoken by an ethnic group in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province. It has a small number of 1505 speakers who claim themselves to be Sadu though officially the group is taken as part of the Bai people. It differs not only from Bai, however, but also from the southern dialects of the Yiish branch spoken by the neighboring communities, such as Nisu, Nasu, and Shansu.
