BIBLIOGRAPHIE. HALF A DECADE OF CHINESE STUDIES (1888-1891) 1) BY HENRI CORDIER, Professorat the Ecole des Langues Orientalesvivantes, Paris. None but a bibliographer can have an exact idea of the enorm- ous literary and scientific production having China as its object. In my Bibliotheca S'inica 2), published between the years 1878-1885, I tried to give a complete survey of the immense field of researches on China. It is a little over five years since, and I have in print a supplement, a volume in itself, which shows more than any other fact the important place taken nowadays by studies not only of a scientific interest, but equally indispensable to commerce and politics. Moreover, in these studies, the revolution foreseen long ago by us, has occurred. Formerly, sinologists were divided into two camps: Sinologists de chambre, sinologists at home, of the type of Sta- nislas Julien, who never went out to the East, and did not speak a word of Chinese, were supposed more scientific; the practical sinologist in China was generally considered but an interpreter. Times have however changed. On the one hand, the return 1) Read at the Ninth International Congressof Orientalists, held in London (1891). 2) BzblintleecaSinica - Dictionnairebibliographique des otivragesrelatifs h I'cmpire chinoispar Henri Cordier.....

Wade; on the other, the facilities. of intercommunication between the East and the West, have brought to an end a distinction which ought not in fact to exist in the study of a living language. Henceforth, it will be necessary for Chinese scholars to be acquainted with both sides of the question and add to a practical knowledge, gained in China, the scientific training obtained at home. Indeed, if China has been drawn now into the general circle of international politics, the Chinese language, thanks to philological researches, is no more isolated in the immense field of the spoken languages of the world, whilst archeology and especially epigraphy and numismatics, till lately neglected or in- sufficiently cared for, have brought new light on many historical problems hitherto unsolved. , Before I exhibit the result of the labour accomplished during the past few years, I would record first a few losses, some of which are very severe. Our greatest loss is Doctor Samuel Wells Williams', the illus- trious author of the Syllccl?io I)i(?tio?i(try of tlze C7ai??ese He was born on Sept. 22, 1812, and died 16th Febr. 1884; his name therefore does not come directly within the limits of this summary, so that I will only refer my readers to the excellent and touching biography of this learned man, written by his son 1) A Syllabic Dictionaryof the Chinese Language; arrangedaccording to the WÚ-fang yuen ,yin, with the pronunciationof the characters as heard in Peeking,Canton, Amoy and Shanghai, by S.

I have elsewhere given a full notice of my late friend When Count Kleczkowski died on the 23rd of March 1886, owing to unforeseen circumstances M. Maurice Jametel, formerly student- interpreter at Peking, was appointed first as charge du cours of the Chinese Language at the Ecole des Langues Orientales vivantes in Paris, and afterwards as professor on the 23d of January 1889. He died shortly after, on the 17th of May. M. Maurice Louis Marie Jametel was born at Montrouge near Paris on the llth of June 1856. We give at foot the list of his publications 2). M.

A mere enumeration of the works published by these two indefatigable scholars, would require many pages. It is given in my BibLiotlaeca Si7iica. John Francis Davis, the last link between the old and the new school of sinologists, between ancient and modern China, was born on the 16th of July, 1795, his father being an official of the East- India Company and a member of the mission sent to Tibet by Warren Hastings. When eighteen years old, Davis was appointed writer to the Canton Factory of the E. India Company; in 1816 with Robert Morrison, he went to Peking with Lord Amherst's unlucky embassy an account of which he left under the title: Scenes in exlaibiting the Manners, Customs, Diversions, and singular peculiarities I,a Cordeet les puissanceseuropéennes (1882). - Les projets de voiesferrées entre I'Eu- rope et les Indes (1882). - T,es débouehésnouveaux du commerceeuropéen en Chine (1882). - Le commerceextérieur de la Chine en 1881 ; son present et son avenir (1882). - Le Bulletin consulairefrançais et les Blue- Booksanglais (18S3).- Une nouvelleco- lonie anglaiseen Océanie;l'ile de Born6o(1883). - L'industrie des transports maritimes dans 1'extremeOrient (1883). -- Le diŒérendfranco-chinois (1883). - Les douaneschi- noiseset l'Annam (1883).

In 1832, he became President of the Select Committee of the East-India Company at Canton, and he continued in that office till Lord Napier's Mission. When Napier died, in October 1834, Davis took his place as superintendent of the British trade at Canton. Later on, Davis, who had returned to England during the Opium War, replaced Sir Henry Pottinger (Febr. 1844) as chief superintendent of the British trade in China, and as Governor of Hongkong, which had just been ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of Nanking (29th Aug. 1842). During his administration, the Chusan islands were surrendered by the English to the Chinese. After some troubles with the Celestials (Fat-shan), Davis left China for the last time (1848) and settled near Bristol, where he died on the 13th November 1890 at Hollywood Tower, Westbury-on-Trym. In 1876, Davis was made a Doctor honoris causa of the Oxford University, where he founded a Chinese Scholarship 1), the particulars of which I give in a foot-note. 1) Davis Chinese Scholarship. "This Scholarshipis awarded for proficiencyin the Chineselanguage and literature. The stipend is £ 45 (after 189.

    國立台灣師範大學台灣語文學系 博士論文 指導教授：賀安娟（Ann Heylen）博士 白話字的起源與在台灣的發展 The Origins of Pe̍ h-ōe-jī and Its Development in Taiwan 研究生：陳慕真 撰 2015 年 12 月 本論文獲得科技部 104 年度獎勵人文與社會科學 領域博士候選人撰寫博士論文獎勵，謹此誌謝。 摘要 本文以白話字為研究主題，探討白話字從十九世紀至今百餘年來的發展，分 析白話字在麻六甲的起源，在中國廈門的形成，以及在台灣從清末、日治時期， 到戰後的發展。透過白話字於不同時期的歷史梳理與分析，本文指出，白話字在 台灣的發展主要呈現兩條主要的脈絡：一為從 1865 年開始，由英國長老教會的 宣教師所發展的白話字運動 ── 這條主線在教會內穩定的發展，從日治時期延 續到戰後，直到 1969 年國民黨政府全面禁止白話字為止；另一條脈絡源於日治 時期的 1920 年代，白話字運動與台灣文化啟蒙運動相結合，並在戰後 1950 年代 由台灣省議員所接續，此後因為高壓的國語政策而沉寂，直到 1980 年代才在政 治解嚴的風潮下，隨著台語文運動而再次出現於台灣社會。這兩條脈絡顯示出白 話字在台灣的發展轉變為：（一）推動者：從西方宣教師轉變為台灣本地知識份 子，（二）訴求對象：從長老教會的信徒，擴及至台灣社會大眾，（三）推動目 的：從傳揚基督教，達成信仰教育，改變為以普及知識，達成社會教育，（四） 認同取向：從對基督教的信仰認同，發展為對台灣民族的認同。從這些轉變的過 程顯示出白話字一開始作為西方宣教師創制的文字系統在台灣本土化的痕跡。 從 1885 年《台灣府城教會報》創刊開始，台灣基督長老教會就開創了以白 話字閱讀、書寫、出版、傳播的時代，直到戰後的 1969 年為止。在長老教會的 推動下，白話字已經穩固的成為基督徒社群共通的文字。在 1885 年至 1969 年這 段台灣的「白話字時代」中，以白話字出版之書籍、刊物，總數量至少近千冊， 內容涵蓋了文學藝術、宗教信仰、歷史文化、兒童教育、醫學知識等領域。這些 成果顯示，以白話字所構築的知識體系已然健全，並成熟的體現在各領域。白話 字除了是教會信徒領受基督信仰的文字工具外，也是台灣人以台語獲取各種現代 化知識的重要途徑。 本文的另一個重點，在於指出「白話字傳播圈」的概念 ── 從十九世紀白 話字的傳播路線來看，首先是從南洋的麻六甲（1820 年代），繼而到中國廈門 （1850 年代），最後來到台灣（1865 年代）。就歷史的進程而言，台灣居於「白 話字傳播圈」的末端。然而，經過百餘年來歷史的發展，隨著東南亞華人和中國 閩南人的政治情勢、族群結構、語言式微、宗教信仰等主客觀因素，福建話和閩 南話的白話字在當地並未有穩定和長足的發展。相較於此，1980 年代後，隨著 台語文運動的成果，使得台灣在白話字上取得優勢和主導權，逐漸躍居為新加坡、 馬來西亞和中國閩南的白話字輸入中心。換言之，台灣從歷史上「白話字傳播圈」 的末端，逐漸發展成為具有「白話字傳播圈」中心的條件。 關鍵詞：白話字、台語、教會羅馬字、台語文運動、台灣基督長老教會、《台 灣教會公報》、台灣宣道社、白話字時代（1885-1969）、台灣文學 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to study the development of Pe̍ h-ōe-jī since the nineteenth century and to analyze its origins in Malacca, its formation in Amoy, and its development in Taiwan from the sunset of the Qing dynasty to the post‐war period. The survey results of the development of Pe̍ h-ōe-jī indicate that the development of Pe̍ h-ōe-jī in Taiwan has two major contexts.

    Communication, Empire, and Authority in the Qing Gazette

    COMMUNICATION, EMPIRE, AND AUTHORITY IN THE QING GAZETTE by Emily Carr Mokros A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2016 © 2016 Emily Carr Mokros All rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation studies the political and cultural roles of official information and political news in late imperial China. Using a wide-ranging selection of archival, library, and digitized sources from libraries and archives in East Asia, Europe, and the United States, this project investigates the production, regulation, and reading of the Peking Gazette (dibao, jingbao), a distinctive communications channel and news publication of the Qing Empire (1644-1912). Although court gazettes were composed of official documents and communications, the Qing state frequently contracted with commercial copyists and printers in publishing and distributing them. As this dissertation shows, even as the Qing state viewed information control and dissemination as a strategic concern, it also permitted the free circulation of a huge variety of timely political news. Readers including both officials and non-officials used the gazette in order to compare judicial rulings, assess military campaigns, and follow court politics and scandals. As the first full-length study of the Qing gazette, this project shows concretely that the gazette was a powerful factor in late imperial Chinese politics and culture, and analyzes the close relationship between information and imperial practice in the Qing Empire. By arguing that the ubiquitous gazette was the most important link between the Qing state and the densely connected information society of late imperial China, this project overturns assumptions that underestimate the importance of court gazettes and the extent of popular interest in political news in Chinese history.

  • Low Vowel Raising in Sinitic Languages: Assimilation, Reduction, Or Both?*

    Low Vowel Raising in Sinitic Languages: Assimilation, Reduction, Or Both?*

    LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS 13.4:583-623, 2012 2012-0-013-004-000279-1 Low Vowel Raising in Sinitic Languages: * Assimilation, Reduction, or Both? Feng-fan Hsieh National Tsing Hua University Many Sinitic languages respect low vowel raising (LVR) whereby the low vowel /a/ is raised to /e/ only when flanked by a palatal glide and a coronal coda. In this article, I show that LVR in Sinitic languages is a genuine process of grammar because low-level phonetic coarticulatory effects alone cannot account for cross- linguistic/dialectal variation. Specifically, my survey reveals that vowel duration, onset consonants and/or the presence of retroflexes may have a direct bearing on LVR, thus calling for a phonological analysis. I argue that the phenomenon in question is better treated as additive effects of (i) target undershoot in the wake of impoverished vowel duration (i.e. vowel reduction) and (ii) contextual influences (i.e. backness assimilation). Phonological vowel quality change (LVR here) is motivated only when the benefit of contextual neutralization exceeds that of the sum of the “cost” of implementing the above coarticulatory patterns. Analytically, Flemming’s (2003) feature co-occurrence constraints, together with phonetically driven constraints, provide a straightforward account of the relationship between coronal place and vowel backness attested in LVR. Finally, implications for Mandarin segmental phonology are also discussed. Key words: vowel raising, vowel reduction, assimilation, segmental phonology, Sinitic languages 1. Introduction In this paper, I consider a fairly common but understudied process of vowel quality change in a handful of Sinitic languages: The low vowel /a/ is raised to [e] when * I would like to thank Yueh-chin Chang, Yen-Hwei Lin, Jeroen van de Weijer, and two anonymous reviewers for their detailed comments on earlier versions of this paper.
