Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled: How English Speakers Learn Chinese Characters Phonological Awareness and Visual Orthographic Skills for Alphabet Language Adults in the learning of Spoken Chinese Language and Written Chinese Characters Although there are many research studies for phonological awareness and visual orthographic skills, most subjects are children, Middle school students or University students in similar age groups. Almost no subjects are adult in different age groups who have different histories of learning Chinese reading and spoken Chinese. Therefore, it is hoped that the present study could fill a gap in the field. There are several purposes of the study: (1) to find out adult students' sensitivity to Chinese phonetic attributes (especially tone awareness) in the learning of Chinese; (2) to find out how radical frequency plays an important role in the learning of Chinese characters; (3) to discover the relationship between the length of time in learning spoken and/or written Chinese AND sensitivities towards Chinese tone awareness in spoken Chinese and the reading of Chinese characters. Experiments involving 5 adult alphabetic language students were 2conducted to investigate the various issues of interest. The results suggest that the common-sense theory that "the longer the students learn Chinese and the more characters they know, the more accurate they can handle the tone," is inconsistent with the findings from my experiments. In other words, there is no absolute connection between the years of learning and tone awareness. For instance, a student with only 1.5 years of learning experience much outperformed other students with much longer periods of learning experience. The study also discovers that the more frequent the radical shows up and more information of semantic radicals giving, the more likely that the students could figure out the meaning and the pronunciation of the corresponding characters; and this is so even if the information is merely provided by a sub-radical. The high frequency radicals help students to remember the whole characters better than the low frequency radicals do. The study also indicates that their listening ability is better than their speaking ability. And, different from tone awareness, the study has also shown that the longer the students' experience in learning Chinese characters, the better their visual orthographic skills. Finally, after comparing the experiments in the study, the result shows the degrees of difficulties for alphabetic students to learn Chinese: the homophonic graphic form is easier for them to recognize and pronounce, while the same Pinyin with different tone is harder. 3 DOI: 10.5353/th_b3160179 Subjects: Chinese characters - Study and teaching - English speakers Chinese language - Etymology Chinese language - Tone

Download or read book Ideography and Chinese Language Theory written by Timothy Michael O’Neill and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a much-needed scholarly intervention and postcolonial corrective that examines why and when and how misunderstandings of Chinese writing came about and showcases the long history of Chinese theories of language. 'Ideography' as such assumes extra-linguistic, trans-historical, universal 'ideas' which are an outgrowth of Platonism and thus unique to European history. Classical Chinese discourse assumes that language (and writing) is an arbitrary artifact invented by sages for specific reasons at specific times in history. Language by this definition is an ever-changing technology amenable to historical manipulation; language is not the House of Being, but rather a historically embedded social construct that encodes quotidian human intentions and nothing more. These are incommensurate epistemes, each with its own cultural milieu and historical context. By comparing these two traditions, this study historicizes and decolonializes popular notions about Chinese characters, exposing the Eurocentrism inherent in all theories of ideography. Ideography and Chinese Language Theory will be of significant interest to historians, sinologists, theorists, and scholars in other branches of the humanities.

Download or read book Cantonese as Written Language written by Don Snow and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cantonese is the only dialect of Chinese which has developed a widely known and used written form. It has played a role in publishing in the Guangdong region since the late Ming dynasty when various types of verses using Cantonese were published as mu yu shu (‘wooden fish books’). In the early twentieth century these dialect texts were joined by Cantonese opera scripts, published as popular reading material. However, it was only after the end of the Second World War that written Cantonese came to be widely used in popular newspapers and magazines, advertising, and in the private communications. Cantonese as Written Language examines this development in the broader context of diglossia, and also of the patterns by which spoken vernaculars have developed written forms in other societies. Based on primary source research, including interviews with publishers and writers who played an important role in the growth of written Cantonese, the author argues that this move of Cantonese into the realm of written language is closely associated with Hong Kong's distinct local culture and identity. The growth of the written vernacular also reflects the territory's evolving cultural distinctiveness from mainland China, first as a British colony, and now as a Special Administrative Region of China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new major reference work provides a comprehensive overview of linguistic phenomena in a variety of Sinitic languages in a global context, highlighting the dynamic interaction between these languages and English. This “living reference work” offers a window into the linguistic sphere in China and beyond, and showcases the latest research into diverse and evolving linguistic phenomena that have resulted from intensified interactions between the Sinophone world and other lingua-spheres. The Handbook is divided into five sections. The chapters in Section I (New Research Trends in Chinese Linguistic Research) present fast-growing research areas in Chinese linguistics, particularly those undertaken by scholars based in China. Section II (Interactions of Sinitic Languages) focuses on language-contact situations inside and outside China. The chapters in Section III (Meaning, Culture, Translation) explore the meanings of key cultural concepts, and how ideas move between Chinese and English through translation across various genres. Section IV (New Trends in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language) covers new ideas and practices relating to teaching the Chinese language and culture. The final section, Section V (Transference from Chinese to English), explores dynamic interactions between varieties of Chinese and varieties of English, as they play out in multilingual sites and settings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study integrates three independent subjects - translation theory, Mandarin aspect, and Greek aspect - for the purpose of formulating a working theory applicable to translating the Bible. The primary objectives are defined in terms of grammatical translation of Greek aspect into Mandarin aspect at the discourse level. A historical overview of the Chinese Bible is provided as a way of introducing major translation issues related to linguistic, conceptual, and logistical challenges. The proposed theory provides the translator with a powerful tool, which is tested in two sample passages from John 18-19 and 1 Corinthians 15. Provided, also, are critical reviews of over sixty Chinese Bible versions, Nestorian, Manichaean, Catholic documents, and a translation written according to the proposed theory.
