TAT.T, r.IGHTS RESEllVKn.] Main Lib JOHN FRYER CHINESE LIBRARY a PREl^ACE TO FIRST EDITION, There being a desire for more lessons in Cantonese Colloquial than the fifteen contained in ' Cantonese Made Easy,' the Author has prepared this book. It has of been his endeavour to make it priictical. Conversations which those desirous speaking Cantonese are likely to wish to engage in have been compiled. It is no I doubt a difficult matter to launch in medias res, especially with a language like I Chinese the learner will, however, find that iu this book lie need not expect to have his breath taken away by a sudden plimge, as the first few conversations while endeavouring at the same are as easy as ifc is almost possible to make them not time to ensure coiisecativcness, to keep the idea of a conversation np, and I of sentences. I to present merely scraps ' Easy.' This book is intended as a companion volume to Cantonese Made All the tones, tonic marks, spelling of Chinese words in English, and diacritical marks are fully explained in the. Introduction to that book and the numbers attached to the finals refer to the list of finals near the end of that book. The learner may find the first five or ten conversations in this book easier ' therefore, than the first few lessons in Cantonese Made Easy.' If so, it might, be a good plan for him to take these first few lessons and learn them thoroughly before beginning the first lessons in the other book. After learning thoroughly onglifc to the fifty lessons in this and the fifteen in the other book, the learner find himself the master of a pretty good vocabulary, as well as possess the knack of stringing Chinese words together on the thrend of Chinese ideas— thread which he must remember will snap if he tries to strain it and stretch it out according to English ideas. A glance at the table of contents will show that the conversations run over I subjects, it has been the author's endeavour to prevent them ' a variety of and from being as dry as dust, and on the contrary to render the in interesting, while, be the at the same time, they shall be lifelike, so that pleasure and profit may i traveller along the unknown i result. If they should lighten the toil of the foreign acquisition of the faculty of Chinese I paths of Chinese ideas, and render the speech and thought easier to him, one great object of the book will have been accomplisliecl. Ti'iisting that it will meet with as gfcat success as its predecessor and companion volnrae, ' Cantonese Made Easy,' the author tlius sends it forth on its trial. J. DYER BALL.

    The Literature of Kita Morio DISSERTATION Presented In

    Insignificance Given Meaning: The Literature of Kita Morio DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Masako Inamoto Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Richard Edgar Torrance Professor Naomi Fukumori Professor Shelley Fenno Quinn Copyright by Masako Inamoto 2010 Abstract Kita Morio (1927-), also known as his literary persona Dokutoru Manbô, is one of the most popular and prolific postwar writers in Japan. He is also one of the few Japanese writers who have simultaneously and successfully produced humorous, comical fiction and essays as well as serious literary works. He has worked in a variety of genres. For example, The House of Nire (Nireke no hitobito), his most prominent work, is a long family saga informed by history and Dr. Manbô at Sea (Dokutoru Manbô kôkaiki) is a humorous travelogue. He has also produced in other genres such as children‟s stories and science fiction. This study provides an introduction to Kita Morio‟s fiction and essays, in particular, his versatile writing styles. Also, through the examination of Kita‟s representative works in each genre, the study examines some overarching traits in his writing. For this reason, I have approached his large body of works by according a chapter to each genre. Chapter one provides a biographical overview of Kita Morio‟s life up to the present. The chapter also gives a brief biographical sketch of Kita‟s father, Saitô Mokichi (1882-1953), who is one of the most prominent tanka poets in modern times.
  • Old Cyrillic in Unicode*

    Old Cyrillic in Unicode*

    Old Cyrillic in Unicode* Ivan A Derzhanski Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [email protected] The current version of the Unicode Standard acknowledges the existence of a pre- modern version of the Cyrillic script, but its support thereof is limited to assigning code points to several obsolete letters. Meanwhile mediæval Cyrillic manuscripts and some early printed books feature a plethora of letter shapes, ligatures, diacritic and punctuation marks that want proper representation. (In addition, contemporary editions of mediæval texts employ a variety of annotation signs.) As generally with scripts that predate printing, an obvious problem is the abundance of functional, chronological, regional and decorative variant shapes, the precise details of whose distribution are often unknown. The present contents of the block will need to be interpreted with Old Cyrillic in mind, and decisions to be made as to which remaining characters should be implemented via Unicode’s mechanism of variation selection, as ligatures in the typeface, or as code points in the Private space or the standard Cyrillic block. I discuss the initial stage of this work. The Unicode Standard (Unicode 4.0.1) makes a controversial statement: The historical form of the Cyrillic alphabet is treated as a font style variation of modern Cyrillic because the historical forms are relatively close to the modern appearance, and because some of them are still in modern use in languages other than Russian (for example, U+0406 “I” CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER I is used in modern Ukrainian and Byelorussian). Some of the letters in this range were used in modern typefaces in Russian and Bulgarian.
  • ABSTRACT Orthographic Reform and Language Planning in Russian

    ABSTRACT Orthographic Reform and Language Planning in Russian

    ABSTRACT Orthographic Reform and Language Planning in Russian History Sylvia Conatser Segura Director: Adrienne Harris, Ph.D. An oft-neglected topic of book history and culture, both in histories of writing development and in cultural histories of Russia and Eastern Europe, is the rich history of orthographic reform and language planning in Russian and Slavic history. Even more neglected are the cultural, religious, and political drivers of language planning and the relationship of identity to writing systems. This thesis aims to correct this oversight by synthesizing histories on the development of written Russian until its codification by Peter the Great in the early 18th century as well as the language reforms accomplished under the Bolsheviks in the 20th century. It will present analysis on motivations for these two periods of language reform as well as impulses behind resistance thereof; the resulting evidence will demonstrate the close ties of political and cultural, particularly religious, identity to the use of written systems as illustrated by the relationship of Eastern Orthodoxy to the Cyrillic alphabet.

FAR EASTERN SECTION POSTWAR CHANGES IN THE JAPANESE CIVIL CODE KURT STEINER* I. HiSTORICAL OBSERVATIONS T HE FMST great wave of foreign culture to reach Japan came from China by way of Korea. This period, which was landmarked by the comng of priests to Japan, resulted in the creation of a new moral structure, which even today forms an integral part of Japanese social ethics. In the legal field it is characterized by the adoption of the Taiho Code of 701 A.D., an event of first magnitude in Japanese legal history With it Japan entered the family of Chinese law where it was destined to remain for more than 1,000 years.' The Taiho Code did not draw a clear line of demarkation between morality and law or between private law and public law Its aim was not to regulate private intercourse between individuals delineating their respective rights, but to preserve moral order and harmony in human relations.

    Seize the Ъ: Linguistic and Social Change in Russian Orthographic Reform Eugenia Sokolskaya

    Seize the Ъ: Linguistic and Social Change in Russian Orthographic Reform Eugenia Sokolskaya It would be convenient for linguists and language students if the written form of any language were a neutral and direct representation of the sounds emitted during speech. Instead, writing systems tend to lag behind linguistic change, retaining old spellings or morphological features instead of faithfully representing a language's phonetics. For better or worse, sometimes the writing can even cause a feedback loop, causing speakers to hypercorrect in imitation of an archaic spelling. The written and spoken forms of a language exist in a complex and fluid relationship, influenced to a large extent by history, accident, misconception, and even politics.1 While in many language communities these two forms – if writing exists – are allowed to develop and influence each other in relative freedom, with some informal commentary, in some cases a willful political leader or group may step in to attempt to intentionally reform the writing system. Such reforms are a risky venture, liable to anger proponents of historic accuracy and adherence to tradition, as well as to render most if not all of the population temporarily illiterate. With such high stakes, it is no wonder that orthographic reforms are not often attempted in the course of a language's history. The Russian language has undergone two sharply defined orthographic reforms, formulated as official government policy. The first, which we will from here on call the Petrine reform, was initiated in 1710 by Peter the Great. It defined a print alphabet for secular use, distancing the writing from the Church with its South Slavic lithurgical language.

    Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI Thomas Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP NIAS AND THE EVOLUTION OF This book analyses the power struggles within the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party between 1931, when several Party leaders left Shanghai and entered the Jiangxi Soviet, and 1945, by which time Mao Zedong, Liu THE CHINESE COMMUNIST Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai had emerged as senior CCP leaders. In 1949 they established the People's Republic of China and ruled it for several decades. LEADERSHIP Based on new Chinese sources, the study challenges long-established views that Mao Zedong became CCP leader during the Long March (1934–35) and that by 1935 the CCP was independent of the Comintern in Moscow. The result is a critique not only of official Chinese historiography but also of Western (especially US) scholarship that all future histories of the CCP and power struggles in the PRC will need to take into account. “Meticulously researched history and a powerful critique of a myth that has remained central to Western and Chinese scholarship for decades. Kampen’s study of the so-called 28 Bolsheviks makes compulsory reading for anyone Thomas Kampen trying to understand Mao’s (and Zhou Enlai’s!) rise to power. A superb example of the kind of revisionist writing that today's new sources make possible, and reminder never to take anything for granted as far as our ‘common knowledge’ about the history of the Chinese Communist Party is concerned.” – Michael Schoenhals, Director, Centre for East and Southeast Asian Studies, Lund University, Sweden “Thomas Kampen has produced a work of exceptional research which, through the skillful use of recently available Chinese sources, questions the accepted wisdom about the history of the leadership of the CCP.

I must write to you about an issue that is near and dear to my heart, and should be at the top of the agenda for every chapter in the new year 2017. Our membership numbers need a big boost! Send out several communications about USCPFA in 2017 and make your chapter more visible. I suggest that your chapter have a USCPFA party with delicious Chinese food, share Chinese cultural activities and have a great topic for discussion to which you invite your friends, college students and persons from all walks of life. Most people don’t even realize how fascinating learning about China can be! You are the visionary in getting the word out that learning about China is really fun, and actually, important to every American. Find a topic about China to pique their curiosity. Look at previous articles in the USCRs to give you ideas for discussions and activities. Every chapter is unique and has its own strengths. If you can involve young people, you and they will be inspired to learn what the Chinese people have done in the past, what they currently face and how they are planning for the future.
