In the writing of this dissertation, they all provided valuable suggestions and comments. Especially, I would like to thank Professors Patricia A.

Thanks are also due to one anonymous referee of Journal of Chinese Linguistics, whose comments helped the second chapter of this dissertation. Finally, I would like to thank my wife for being the first informant to discuss the data with me and for supporting me spiritually. Without her, this dissertation might not have come into existence. ------ --- v ABSTRACT This dissertation studies three areas in Chinese interrogatives: question words as quantifiers, rhetorical questions, and A-not-A questions. For question words, those occurring in special contexts are interpreted as the universal quantifier, whereas those used in question sentences or used as indefinite nouns are interpreted as the existential quantifier. For rhetorical questions, those involving negation are semantically interpreted as manifesting logical contradictory relationship; they are pragmatically interpreted as the speaker's challenge to the hearer for disapproving a logically unavoidable deduction from given premises. Examples are given to show that rhetorical questions can be found not only in particle questions and question-word questions but also in A-not-A questions and disjunctive questions. It is also shown that although the use of interrogatives as rhetorical questions is usually determined by the context, some linguistic constructions or phrases in Chinese do force the rhetorical reading on the question sentences. These constructions include some polarity items, special sequences and frozen forms, and question sentences in which the question words are preposed or which contain some counterfactual phrases. For A-not-A questions, it is shown that the relation between the two juxtaposed predicates is not that of syntactic vi negation, but rather semantic contradiction, and it is proposed that three rules are needed. Those with the form of 'VP not V' are derived through anaphoric ellipsis, while those with the form of 'V not VP' are derived by the reduplication of the verbal and an insertion of the negative bu or mei. And the A-not-A questions with perfective, experiential, or inchoative aspect are derived by the addition of meiyou 'not-have' to the end of the sentences. Moreover, it is believed that these three rules are competing against each other, with the reduplication r~le being the prevalent one. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• i V ABSTRACT •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• V LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS ••••••••••••••••••• ix .

It has been officially assigned as the standard language since the 1950s, and is called Putonghua 'common language' in Mainland China or GUoyu 'national language' in Taiwan. Although Peking Mandarin has been chosen as the standard language, it should be kept in mind that as this language has spread over the past three or four decades to various regions and has mingled with different dialects, neither the Putonghua nor the GUoyu is identical to Peking Mandarin (for some of the possible reasons, see Zhu 1987). One may say that in fact there are different versions of the Northern Mandarin spoken in different regions, though they are rather similar. The influences of the various dialects on the standard languages vary in different regions. Even within the same region, the strength of the influence

Ideophones are defined as a set of words that are phonologically and morphologically marked and depict some form of sensory image (Dingemanse 2011b). Middle Chinese has a large body of ideophones, whose domains range from the depiction of sound, movement, visual and other external senses to the depiction of internal senses (cf. Dingemanse 2012a). There is some work on modern variants of Sinitic languages (cf. Mok 2001; Bodomo 2006; de Sousa 2008; de Sousa 2011; Meng 2012; Wu 2014), but so far, there is no encompassing study of ideophones of a stage in the historical development of Sinitic languages. The purpose of this study is to develop a descriptive model for ideophones in Middle Chinese, which is compatible with what we know about them cross-linguistically. The main research question of this study is “what are the phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic features of ideophones in Middle Chinese?” This question is studied in terms of three parameters, viz. the parameters of form, of meaning and of use.

  • From Translation to Adaptation: Chinese Language Texts and Early Modern Japanese Literature
    From Translation to Adaptation: Chinese Language Texts and Early Modern Japanese Literature Nan Ma Hartmann Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Nan Ma Hartmann All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Translation to Adaptation: Chinese Language Texts and Early Modern Japanese Literature Nan Ma Hartmann This dissertation examines the reception of Chinese language and literature during Tokugawa period Japan, highlighting the importation of vernacular Chinese, the transformation of literary styles, and the translation of narrative fiction. By analyzing the social and linguistic influences of the reception and adaptation of Chinese vernacular fiction, I hope to improve our understanding of genre development and linguistic diversification in early modern Japanese literature. This dissertation historically and linguistically contextualizes the vernacularization movements and adaptations of Chinese texts in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, showing how literary importation and localization were essential stimulants and also a paradigmatic shift that generated new platforms for Japanese literature. Chapter 1 places the early introduction of vernacular Chinese language in its social and cultural contexts, focusing on its route of propagation from the Nagasaki translator community to literati and scholars in Edo, and its elevation from a utilitarian language to an object of literary and political interest. Central figures include Okajima Kazan (1674-1728) and Ogyû Sorai (1666-1728). Chapter 2 continues the discussion of the popularization of vernacular Chinese among elite intellectuals, represented by the Ken’en School of scholars and their Chinese study group, “the Translation Society.” This chapter discusses the methodology of the study of Chinese by surveying a number of primers and dictionaries compiled for reading vernacular Chinese and comparing such material with methodologies for reading classical Chinese.

  • Chinese Landscape Aesthetics: the Exchange and Nurturing of Emotions’, In: Kehrer, J
    Text published as: Westermann, C. (2020), `Chinese Landscape Aesthetics: the Exchange and Nurturing of Emotions’, In: Kehrer, J. (ed.), New Horizons: Eight Perspectives on Chinese Landscape Architecture Today, Basel: Birkhäuser, pp. 34-37. Chinese Landscape Aesthetics The Exchange and Nurturing of Emotions Claudia Westermann Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University And high over the willows, the fine birds sing to each other, and listen, Crying – “Kwan, Kuan,” for the early wind, and the feel of it. The wind bundles itself into a bluish cloud and wanders off. Over a thousand gates, over a thousand doors are the sounds of spring singing, And the Emperor is at Ko. Excerpt of The River Song, by Li Bai, 8th century CE, translated by Ezra Pound1. The Chinese language has a variety of terms that are typically translated into English as landscape. There is 景观 jǐng guān – scenery view. An old meaning of 景 jǐng is light, luminous. So, literally 景观 jǐng guān means luminous view. The term is generally used when referring to foreign educational programmes in landscape architecture. Traditionally, university departments in China indicate an engagement with ideas of landscape with the characters 园林 yuán lín – garden forests. These are the characters for the classical Chinese gardens. The characters 风景 fēng jǐng, that literally translate to wind scenery, or wind light as the French sinologist François Jullien suggests2, are also fairly common. Landscape in painting is referred to as 山水 shān shuǐ – mountain(s) water(s) – but also as 山川 shān chuān – mountain(s) river(s). The attentive reader will have noticed that the Chinese language always employs a pair of characters to refer to landscape.
