  • Language Management in the People's Republic of China
    LANGUAGE AND PUBLIC POLICY Language management in the People’s Republic of China Bernard Spolsky Bar-Ilan University Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, language management has been a central activity of the party and government, interrupted during the years of the Cultural Revolution. It has focused on the spread of Putonghua as a national language, the simplification of the script, and the auxiliary use of Pinyin. Associated has been a policy of modernization and ter - minological development. There have been studies of bilingualism and topolects (regional vari - eties like Cantonese and Hokkien) and some recognition and varied implementation of the needs of non -Han minority languages and dialects, including script development and modernization. As - serting the status of Chinese in a globalizing world, a major campaign of language diffusion has led to the establishment of Confucius Institutes all over the world. Within China, there have been significant efforts in foreign language education, at first stressing Russian but now covering a wide range of languages, though with a growing emphasis on English. Despite the size of the country, the complexity of its language situations, and the tension between competing goals, there has been progress with these language -management tasks. At the same time, nonlinguistic forces have shown even more substantial results. Computers are adding to the challenge of maintaining even the simplified character writing system. As even more striking evidence of the effect of poli - tics and demography on language policy, the enormous internal rural -to -urban rate of migration promises to have more influence on weakening regional and minority varieties than campaigns to spread Putonghua.

Many scholars claim that the world has had many ‘renaissances’ in its long history: they advocate what we could call the ‘multiple renaissances’ thesis. In this article, I will focus on the history of this idea. Where and when did the ‘multiple renaissances’ thesis emerge? What intellectual exchanges and historical conditions made it possible? To answer these questions, I will first draw up a short genealogy of the idea that the European/Italian Renaissance is a ‘culture’ or a ‘social type’; then, I will show that such typological use of the renaissance made it possible to apply this concept to different historical and social configurations, not only within, but also outside Europe; finally, through an ana- lysis of the relation between Arnold Toynbee and Hu Shi, I will show that the uses of the renaissance category in the non-European world, especially in East Asia, contributed to shaping the ‘multiple renaissances’ thesis and, through it, to redefining the perception of the renaissance in Europe proper.

  • Ka-Wai Yeung
    Taiwan Journal of Linguistics Vol. 4.1, 1-48, 2006 ON THE STATUS OF THE COMPLEMENTIZER WAA6 IN CANTONESE* Ka-Wai Yeung ABSTRACT Complementizers are generally known as function words that introduce a clausal complement, like that in English, for instance (Radford 1997). In many languages, complementizers are re-analyzed from verba dicendi, or verbs of ‘saying’ (Lord 1976; Frajzyngier 1991; Hopper and Traugott 1993; Lord 1993). This paper argues for the existence of a complementizer re-analyzed from a verb of ‘saying’ in Cantonese by providing a synchronic analysis of waa61. Waa6 has often been assumed to be a lexical verb in serial verb construction because of its following a ‘saying’ predicate or a cognitive predicate. However, this paper argues that waa6 is not always a verb, postulating that waa6 may have different meanings and subcategorizations in different situations, including waa61 meaning ‘say’ [__ (PP) CP] or [__ PP NP], the transitive verb waa62 meaning ‘blame/ * I am most grateful to Elaine Francis and Stephen Matthews for their constructive comments on the early drafts of this article. Thanks are also due to Sze-Wing Tang for providing some of the Cantonese examples and to Hilary Chappell for providing the Taiwanese Southern Min data in her article prior to publication. I am indebted to two anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions. 1 As is common practice for Mandarin and Taiwanese romanization, the paper use the Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphbat (Hanyu Pinyin Fang’an) and Church Romanization, which was devised by Presbyterian missionaries in the 19th century in Taiwan.

  • I Dialect Differences in the Production and Perception of Mandarin
    Dialect Differences in the Production and Perception of Mandarin Chinese Tones Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chiung-Yun Chang Graduate Program in Speech and Hearing Science all The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Robert A. Fox, Advisor Marjorie K.M. Chan Ewa Jacewicz i Copyright by Chiung-Yun Chang 2010 ii Abstract The production study examined the three main acoustic properties, fundamental frequency (f0), rms amplitude and duration, of the four lexical tones in Beijing Mandarin (BM) and Taiwan Mandarin (TM) produced in isolation and in a sentence-medial position by native female speakers of these two regional dialects. Acoustical and statistical analyses showed cross-dialectal differences in tonal realization, especially for Tone 3 produced in isolation. Specifically, a citation BM Tone 3 has a dipping contour with an inflection point around the mid of the vowel whereas TM Tone 3 has a falling pattern. Similarly, the amplitude envelope of the citation Tone 3 in BM and TM had a double-peak and a falling pattern, respectively. Accordingly, BM Tone 3 in isolation was the only tone that was statistically significantly different from the TM counterpart, with the former being 141 ms longer. In addition, cross-correlation analyses between f0 contours and amplitude contours showed that acoustic divergence in citation Tone 3 resulted in different relational patterns between amplitude contours and f0 contours and among tones in two dialects. Specifically, the low-falling amplitude contour of TM Tone 3 in isolation was highly correctly with the f0 contours of not only Tone 3 and but also Tone 4 which have the similar falling pattern.
