Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    2020 ANNUAL REPORT About IHV The Institute of Human Virology (IHV) is the first center in the United States—perhaps the world— to combine the disciplines of basic science, epidemiology and clinical research in a concerted effort to speed the discovery of diagnostics and therapeutics for a wide variety of chronic and deadly viral and immune disorders—most notably HIV, the cause of AIDS. Formed in 1996 as a partnership between the State of Maryland, the City of Baltimore, the University System of Maryland and the University of Maryland Medical System, IHV is an institute of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and is home to some of the most globally-recognized and world- renowned experts in the field of human virology. IHV was co-founded by Robert Gallo, MD, director of the of the IHV, William Blattner, MD, retired since 2016 and formerly associate director of the IHV and director of IHV’s Division of Epidemiology and Prevention and Robert Redfield, MD, resigned in March 2018 to become director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and formerly associate director of the IHV and director of IHV’s Division of Clinical Care and Research. In addition to the two Divisions mentioned, IHV is also comprised of the Infectious Agents and Cancer Division, Vaccine Research Division, Immunotherapy Division, a Center for International Health, Education & Biosecurity, and four Scientific Core Facilities. The Institute, with its various laboratory and patient care facilities, is uniquely housed in a 250,000-square-foot building located in the center of Baltimore and our nation’s HIV/AIDS pandemic.

  • Using Online Applications to Improve Tone Perception Among L2 Learners of Chinese (网络应用对中文二语学习者声调辨识的有效性研究)
    Journal of Technology and Chinese Language Teaching Volume 10 Number 1, June 2019 http://www.tclt.us/journal/2019v10n1/xulili.pdf pp. 26-56 Using Online Applications to Improve Tone Perception among L2 Learners of Chinese (网络应用对中文二语学习者声调辨识的有效性研究) Xu, Hongying Li, Yan Li, Yingjie (徐红英) (李艳) (李颖颉) University of University of University of Colorado- Wisconsin-La Crosse Kansas Boulder (威斯康星大学拉克 (堪萨斯大学) (科罗拉多大学博尔得分 罗校区) [email protected] 校) [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of an online application in helping beginning-level Chinese learners improve their perception of the tones in Mandarin Chinese. Two groups—one experimental and one traditional—of beginning Chinese learners from two universities in the Midwest participated in this study. The experimental group (n=20) used the online application to practice tones for four 15-minute sessions in class. The traditional group (n=11) participated in traditional instructor-led practice in class in lieu of the online practice. Both groups completed a pre-test, an immediately administered post-test, and a delayed post-test designed to assess their perception of the tones of monosyllabic and disyllabic words. No statistically significant difference has been found between the two groups in their tone perception performance in the post-test and in the delayed post-test. However, the experimental group showed a positive trend in improving their perception on those tones which posed more difficulty than others. Their experience with this online application and the pronunciation learning strategies of participants in the experimental group were also examined through a survey. Based on the findings, it is proposed that the use of online tone practice is worthwhile in a Chinese language class, but might fit better into the curriculum as external assignments.

Linguistic composition and characteristics of Chinese given names Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss various linguistic and cultural aspect of personal naming in China. In Chinese civilization, personal names, especially given names, were considered crucial for a person’s fate and achievements. The more important the position of a person, the more various categories of names the person received. Chinese naming practices do not restrict the inventory of possible given names, i.e. given names are formed individually, mainly as a result of a process of onymisation, and given names are predominantly semantically transparent. Therefore, given names seem to be well suited for a study of stereotyped cultural expectations present in Chinese society. The paper deals with numerous subdivisions within the superordinate category of personal name, as the subclasses of surname and given name. It presents various subcategories of names that have been used throughout Chinese history, their linguistic characteristics, their period of origin, and their cultural or social functions.

  • Names of Chinese People in Singapore
    101 Lodz Papers in Pragmatics 7.1 (2011): 101-133 DOI: 10.2478/v10016-011-0005-6 Lee Cher Leng Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore ETHNOGRAPHY OF SINGAPORE CHINESE NAMES: RACE, RELIGION, AND REPRESENTATION Abstract Singapore Chinese is part of the Chinese Diaspora.This research shows how Singapore Chinese names reflect the Chinese naming tradition of surnames and generation names, as well as Straits Chinese influence. The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space. Goodenough explains this culturally driven context of names and naming practices: Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 5 5 Arts Link, Singapore 117570 e-mail: [email protected] 102 Lee Cher Leng Ethnography of Singapore Chinese Names: Race, Religion, and Representation Different naming and address customs necessarily select different things about the self for communication and consequent emphasis.

  • CJK NACO Searching
    1/13/2017 CJK NACO Searching Prepared by Ryan Finnerty and Shi Deng, UC San Diego Library With assistance by Hideyuki Morimoto, Columbia University Libraries Thanks to Erica Chang (Univ. of Hawai’i) and Sarah Byun (LC) for providing Korean examples and search tips. NACO Searching: Purpose & Outlines • Keep the database clean by searching before contributing • Discuss why searching is important with CJK examples • To prevent duplicate NARs • To prevent conflict in authorized access points and variant access points • To gather information from existing bibliographic records • To identify existing records that may need to be evaluated and re‐coded for RDA • To identify bibliographic records that may need BFM • Searching tips in Connexion 2 1 1/13/2017 Why Search? To Prevent Duplicate NARs • Duplicates are normally created by inefficient searching and the 24‐ hour upload gap in the Name authority file. • Before creating a name authority record: 1. Search the OCLC authority file for the authorized access point, including variant forms of the access point. 2. In addition, search WorldCat for bibliographic records that contain the authorized access point or variant forms. • If you put your record in a save file, remember to search again if more than 24 hours have passed. • If you encounter duplicate records in the authority file, be sure to notify your NACO Coordinator so the records can be reported to LC. 3 Duplicate NARs for Personal Names (1) • 24 hours rule: If you put your record in a save file, remember to search again if more than 24 hours have passed.

  • The Acquisition of Mandarin Prosody by American Learners of Chinese As a Foreign Language
    The Acquisition of Mandarin Prosody by American Learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chunsheng Yang, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Marjorie K.M. Chan, Advisor Dr. Mary E. Beckman Dr. Cynthia Clopper Dr. Mineharu Nakayama Copyright by Chunsheng Yang 2011 ABSTRACT In the acquisition of second language (L2) or foreign language (FL) pronunciation, learners not only learn how to pronounce consonants and vowels (tones as well, in the case of tone languages, such as Mandarin Chinese), they also learn how to produce the vowel reduction, vowel-consonant co-articulation, and prosody. Central to this dissertation is prosody, which refers to the way that an utterance is broken up into smaller units, and the acoustic patterns of each unit at different levels, in terms of fundamental frequency (F0), duration and amplitude. In L2 pronunciation, prosody is as important as -- if not more important than -- consonants and vowels. This dissertation examines the acquisition of Mandarin prosody by American learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL). Specifically, it examines four aspects of Mandarin prosody: (1) prosodic phrasing (i.e., breaking up of utterances into smaller units); (2) surface F0 and duration patterns of prosodic phrasing in a group of sentence productions elicited from L1 and L2 speakers of Mandarin Chinese; (3) patterns of tones errors in L2 Mandarin productions; and (4) the relationship between tone errors and prosodic phrasing in L2 Mandarin.
