  • Synchrony and Diachrony of Sinitic Languages: a Brief History of Chinese Dialects

    Synchrony and Diachrony of Sinitic Languages: a Brief History of Chinese Dialects

    I Synchrony and Diachrony of Sinitic Languages: A Brief History of Chinese Dialects HILARY CHAPPELL l.l Introduction Even though Sinitic languages are spoken by more than one billion people, very little research has been carried out on the synchronic grammar of major languages and dialect groups of Chinese, apart from standard Mandarin or plttdnghuA *Effi, and Cantonese to a lesser extent. The same situation applies to the diachrony of Sinitic languages with respect to the exact relationship between Archaic and Medieval Chinese and contemporary dialects. Since diachronic and historical research reveals important insights into earlier stages of grammar and morphology, it cannot but form a crucial link with syn- chronic studies. First, it can be expected that different kinds of archaic and medieval features are potentially preserved in certain of the more conservative dialect groups of Sinitic. Second, clues to the pathways of grammaticalization and semantic change can only be clearly delineated with reference to precise analyses of earlier stages of the Chinese language. These are two decisive factors in employ- ing both approaches to syntactic research in the one analysis. Indeed, the main motivation behind compiling this volume of studies on the grammar of Sinitic languages (or Chinese dialects) is to highlight the work of linguists who use the two intertwined perspectives of synchrony and diachrony in their research. A corollary of this first view, espoused in this anthology either explicitly or implicitly is that if only standard Mandarin grammar is analysed, then such con- nections between the diachronic and the synchronic state may often be over- looked.

    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 98 January, 2000 Reviews VIII by Peter Daniels, Daniel Boucher, and various authors Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

Bhatia Received: 5 January 2016; Accepted: 15 March 2016; Published: 7 April 2016 Abstract: In both child and adult Cantonese, code-mixing is used productively. We focus on the insertion of English verbs into Cantonese utterances. Data from nine simultaneous bilingual children in the Hong Kong Bilingual Child Language Corpus are analyzed. Case studies show that the children’s rates of mixing closely match the rate of mixing in the parental input, and that different input conditions influence rates of mixing. The bilingual children, nevertheless, show creativity, notably in inserting phrasal verb-particle combinations into a Cantonese frame. We argue that this is an innovation not derived from adult input. Keywords: code-mixing; mixed verbs; parental input; Cantonese; bilingual development 1. Introduction: Input and Code-Mixing in Bilingual Development It has been argued that the input to which children are exposed to plays a more decisive role in bilingual than monolingual development [1,2].
