  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Full- sentence phonetic data from 21 Shanghainese speakers (born 1937-1975) were analyzed. Instead of a syllable tone language with left-dominant sandhi, Shanghainese is analyzed here as a lexical pitch accent language, with three levels of phrasing above the syllable. The lowest level of phrasing is the accentual phrase, which is the domain of the three contrastive pitch accents, H*, L*+H, and L*. These pitch accents are paired with one of two AP-final boundary tones: La/L:a or LHa. La/L:a varies freely between a single low target (La) and a low plateau (L:a), and co-occurs with H* and L*+H.

  • The Social Role of Shanghainese in Shanghai
    Robert D. Angus California State University, Fullerton Prestige and the local dialect: 1 The social role of Shanghainese in Shanghai Abstract. Shanghai lies in the Wu dialect area in east central China. Whereas Modern Standard Chinese is the prescribed national standard in instruction, broadcasting, and commerce, a specific variety that descended from Wu is the native language of the city. We are accustomed to finding that local varieties experience a diminution of prestige in such circumstances. The social and historical circumstances of Shanghai, however, uniquely create a situation in which this is not the case. In this paper I will briefly discuss the history of the city and its development, trace social attitudes (and ideas of prestige) on the part of its natives, show how the use of the local variety indexes social status and prestige among residents of the city, and provide evidence that the use of the native dialect of Shanghai is neither transitional nor restricted to the spheres heretofore considered Low in the typical diglossia situation. Introduction When a local, minority language is used alongside a national variety, especially when the national language is upheld as a standard, the local variety is generally seen to suffer in prestige. In a diglossia situation, as outlined by Ferguson in his groundbreaking article, the two varieties are complementarily distributed among social situations, and the prestige variety is identified as the one used in all AHigh@ circumstances. Most familiar, writes Ferguson, is the situation in California Linguistic Notes Volume XXVII No. 2 Fall, 2002 2 which “many speakers speak their local dialect at home or among family or friends of the same dialect area but use the standard language in communicating with speakers of other dialects or on public occasions” (1959:325).
