Download or read book Chinese American Names written by Emma Woo Louie and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The naming practices of Chinese Americans are the focus of this work. Since Chinese immigration began in the mid-19th century, names of immigrants and their descendants have been influenced by both Chinese and American name customs. This detailed study first describes the naming traditions of China, providing a base for understanding how personal names may change in the interaction between cultures. One discovers that surnames are clues to Chinese dialect sounds, that many have been Americanized, that new surnames were created and that, in more recent decades as the Chinese American population has grown, new names practices developed and surnames have proliferated. Included are ideographs to surnames and an overview of their preservation by Americans of Chinese descent.

Download or read book On the School of Names in Ancient China written by Bernard S. Solomon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study on ancient Chinese philosophy invites us to meet a challenging task in philosophical understanding. The so-called "School of Names" (Mingjia ) is a label for a diverse group of thinkers in the Warring States period (479-221 B.C.) that has sometimes been accused of dabbling in flippant linguistic and conceptual puzzles, paradoxes, or sophistries. Bernard Solomon analyzes the works of its two main representatives, namely Huizi (Master Hui, or Hui Shi , 380-305 B.C.') and Gongsun Long (b. 380 B.C.').The Chapter One deals with the ten "paradoxes" of Huizi as recorded in the Zhuangzi . Chapters Two to Six are devoted to five texts attributed to Gongsun Long that have been called cryptic or even a mixture of banality and nonsense. Among them is also found the "White-Horse Dialogue" with its famous dictum "A white horse is not a horse." The aim of Solomon's investigation is the discovery of the rules of "language games" in the School of Names and of the key to solve their linguistic and conceptual puzzles and paradoxes. His analysis shows in all the texts he interprets an "evidence of an interest in language qua language" (p. 12), which is unique for Chinese thought in the classical era.Bernard S. Solomon holds a Ph.D. in Far Eastern Languages of Harvard University (1952) and was a long-time Professor of Chinese in the Department of Classical and Oriental Languages at Queens College, City University of New York (CUNY).
