Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colloquial Chinese (Northern) There has been current for a long time past a widespread belief that Chinese stands in the same relation to Japanese as does English to French or English to German. No doubt this idea was born and fostered by the propinquity of the two far-eastern nations. Radically, however, the two languages are as far apart as the Poles. Japanese came from the South, a language colloquially expressive and with a strongly developed agglutinative tendency, but innocent of any script. The Chinese, however, had not only an artistic system of writing, but also a comprehensive litera ture. The newly-arrived tenants of the Land of the Rising Sun immediately borrowed the ideographic scheme of their Western neighbours and began the laborious task of fitting it to their own polysyllabic Speech. Thus arose one of the most peculiar of popular delusions for Chinese is essentially monosyllabic. By the invention and frequent use of written equivalents of the colloquial particles, however, the Japanese overcame what must have seemed at first a supreme difficulty.

Download or read book The Chinese Language written by Sir Walter Hillier and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. The issue of a second edition of this volume has afforded the writer an opportunity of making certain alterations which it is hoped will add to the utility of the work and secure continuity between this and the second volume of the Course which was issued in 1909. The last 180 characters in the List under Section XII. of the first edition have been struck out and others substituted for them. These are embodied in three stories contained in Section XI. of the present volume, in which exactly one thousand characters are now made use of. In deference to a suggestion made by various critics, the Chinese text has now been placed in one section near the end of the volume, and the index of characters under their radicals has been changed by the substitution of reference numbers for the meanings given in the first edition. Reference has been made towards the close of the first edition to a vocabulary which it was intended to embody in Volume II. After this vocabulary had been practically completed the writer came to the conclusion that the needs of the student would be more adequately met by the compilation of a comprehensive dictionary of Northern colloquial Chinese, The vocabulary was accordingly discarded, and its place has been taken by an Anglo-Chinese Colloquial Dictionary* containing over twenty thousand separate expressions. This will enable students to find Chinese equivalents for a number of expressions which they would otherwise have great difficulty in rendering, at any rate for many years.

Download or read book Studies in Colloquial Chinese and Its History written by Richard VanNess Simmons and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Colloquial Chinese and Its History: Dialect and Text presents cutting-edge research into issues regarding prestige colloquial languages in China in their spoken forms and as well as their relationship to written forms and the colloquial literary language. These include the standard regional languages and prestige dialects of the past, the influence of historical forms of spoken Chinese on written Chinese, the history of guānhuà and the history of báihuà, proto-dialects and supra-regional common languages (koines), and their relationship to spoken dialects. The various studies in this collection focus on the dialect groups with the most substantial written tradition, including Mandarin, Wu, Min, and Cantonese, in north, central and eastern coastal, and southern China respectively. The contributors explore the histories of these dialects in their written and spoken forms, presenting a variegated view of the history and development of the regional forms, including their evolution and influence. This edited volume expands our understanding of the underlying factors in the formation of supra-regional common languages in China, and the written forms to which they gave rise. It broadens our understanding of the evolution of written and spoken forms of Chinese from a comparative perspective, revealing the interrelationships of various areal forms of Chinese and historical koines in China. “This is a rigorous and cohesive collection of articles important to our understanding of the development of the current modern varieties, and also to our understanding of the creation and interpretation of the texts themselves. Anyone interested in empirical work on Chinese dialects would find this of interest.” —Randy J. LaPolla (羅仁地), Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities (FAHA) “The history of Chinese dialects and Mandarin is a source of interest for many scholars. It is rare, however, to meet a collection that addresses the history and appearance of writing in such a detailed and unconventional way. This unique volume deepens our understanding and offers new insights into established scholarship. A highly recommended publication.” —Marinus van den Berg (范德博), Editor of the Journal of Asian Pacific Communication (JAPC)
