Han'gŭlization and Romanization HAN’GŬLIZATION AND ROMANIZATION: TWO MODELS OF SCRIPT CHANGE by TIMOTHY WAYLAND ALFORD DOUGLAS LIGHTFOOT, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOHN PETROVIC, COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR ERIN O’ROURKE MICHAEL PICONE BEDRETTIN YAZAN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Modern Languages and Classics in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Timothy Wayland Alford 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Script change is a branch of language planning and language policy. To assist language planners and policy makers with their endeavors, I have performed a Qualitative Research Synthesis to determine if the Han’gŭlization of Korean and the Romanization of Turkish are two distinct models of script change and if one model is more useful than the other. After describing language planning and policy making, I define script change, operationalize the terms used in the field, and discuss its history, its causes, and factors. Then, I explain the methodology and detail how I use it. Next, there are case studies of the language communities which exemplify the two models of script change: Korean representing the evolutionary one and Turkish the revolutionary. Following that, there are selected studies regarding the status of each script change. Current research on Korean asks who should receive credit for the revaluation of Han’gŭl; for Turkish the concern is national identity reconstruction along neo-Ottomanist lines. The data extracted from the selected studies are used to identify themes and sub-themes for producing a synthesis and a comparative analysis. My conclusion is that the answers to my questions are in the affirmative: the two models are distinct, and one is more useful than the other. ii DEDICATION I would like to preface my dedication with a statement of the stance which I bring to my research and to the writing of this dissertation. I am performing a Qualitative Research Synthesis (QRS) on the data which I gathered. An important aspect of being a qualitative research synthesist is to take a careful, deep, attentive, and interpretive stance toward my topic, and to be honest regarding that stance. QRS researchers are also encouraged to be frank regarding their own biases, methodologies, and research processes. Therefore, in accordance with my stance as a qualitative research synthesist, I am disclosing that I am an avowed member of the Bahá’í Faith, and that the teachings which I follow are attuned to the sociopolitical commitment to social equality and social justice which are evinced by practitioners of QRS. Having made the above statement, I now dedicate this dissertation to the Universal House of Justice, the supreme administrative body of the Bahá’í Faith, because of the inspiration which I have derived from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of that Faith, the Báb, His Precursor, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the Perfect Exemplar and Center of the Covenant, and Shoghi Effendi, its Guardian. It is my hope that this dissertation may prove to be of service to the Universal House of Justice in its future deliberations regarding a universal auxiliary language and its accompanying script. In the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh we read, the well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established. This unity can never be achieved so long as the counsels which the Pen of the Most High hath revealed are suffered to pass unheeded. (n.d.-a) iii This selection inspired me to choose a counsel from among the many proffered in the Bahá’í writings, and to work towards its fulfillment as my contribution to the establishment of the well- being, peace, and security of humanity. I found that counsel in the following quotation, also from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh. The day is approaching when all the peoples of the world will have adopted one universal language and one common script. When this is achieved, to whatsoever city a man may journey, it shall be as if he were entering his own home. These things are obligatory and absolutely essential. It is incumbent upon every man of insight and understanding to strive to translate that which hath been written into reality and action. (n.d.-b.) This dissertation is my attempt to translate the counsel of “one common script” into “reality and action”. I also dedicate this work to my family who made it possible for me to pursue my goal of earning a doctoral degree: my wife, Aghdas, our daughters and sons-in-law, Ginous and Anis, Neda and Nathan, Ruha and James, and our grandchildren, Otis Wayland Long, Artemis Quinn Tacey, and Ramona Louise Long. Finally, I remember my parents, Eunice Lee Ray and H. Bennett Alford, Sr. My mother taught me to always begin with the most difficult task and see it to its conclusion. My father, I believe, planned for me to become a linguist and adopted the acquisition policy of providing me with educational opportunities for acquiring the love of world languages. iv LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS BCE Before the Common Era CE Common Era FAWL Facts About the World’s Languages GGK Government General of Korea JDP Justice and Development Party MoNE Ministry of National Education MT Modern Turkish LPLP Language Planning and Language Policy OT Ottoman Turkish PA Perso-Arabic QRS Qualitative Research Synthesis RoT Republic of Turkey RPP Republican Peoples Party TDK Turkish Language Society (Turk Dil Kurumu) TLI Turkish Language Institute USA United States of America USSR Union of Soviet Socialist Republics v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have completed my dissertation thanks to the assistance of the following people: my committee co-directors, Douglas Lightfoot and John Petrovic, for shepherding me through the pre-prospectus, prospectus, and dissertation process; the members of my committee, Erin O’Rourke, Michael Picone, and Bedrettin Yazan, for their guidance, suggestions, critiques, and the questions they contributed to my doctoral examination; William Worden, the Director of Spanish Graduate Students; Bryan Koronkiewicz, the Spanish Language Program Director; Isabelle Drewelow, the French Language Program Director; the Graduate School of the University of Alabama for its excellent seminars on writing and publishing a dissertation, for its financial support to attend conferences, and for the 2016 Dissertation Retreat; my professors at the University of Alabama for the inspirational courses they taught; my fellow Graduate Teaching Assistants who oriented me and coordinated my activities when I arrived at the University of Alabama, and who accepted my orientation and coordination when they arrived; my Spanish and French students who treated me with respect and confirmed me in my vocation; the staff of the Modern Languages and Classics Department for their logistical, clerical, and moral support; the administration, my colleagues, and my students at the Altamont School for supporting and encouraging me; the Tuscaloosa Bahá’í community and friends of the Faith for their fellowship, support, understanding, and prayers; my assistants who helped me in my capacity as member of the Auxiliary Board by performing my duties when my dissertation prevented me from doing so; my friends and neighbors for their understanding and encouragement; my language teachers from my elementary school, high school, college, and vi graduate school years; my college advisor, D.

Jawi Script is derived from the Arabic Script, but it later changed its name to Jawi because in Jawi Script there are six more new letters being added to it to represent the six Malay phonemes which are not found in the Arabic Language. The oldest known Jawi writing is the Terengganu Inscriptions dated 24 th February 1303 or 702 Hijrah. Later on Jawi Script was used extensively in the Sultanate of Malacca, the Sultanate of Old Johor, the Sultanate of Aceh, the Sultanate of Johor-Riau and other sultanates and kingdoms of South East Asia. Jawi Script had spread from Aceh in North Sumatra in the west to Ternate and Tidore in the Moluccas Islands in the eastern part of Indonesia, and then from Cambodia in the north to Banten in the south. Nowadays, about 16,000 Malay Jawi manuscripts are being preserved and kept in many libraries and archives around the world.

  • Unforgettable Landscapes
    Unforgettable Landscapes: Attachments to the Past in Hellenistic Armenia Lori Khatchadourian Historical cartographers are quintessential memory specialists. Given the task of determining the relative importance of one hamlet, village, town, or city from another, those who map the past exercise the right to erase the memory of a place itself, along with the memories of the peoples, histories, and monuments through which that place was constituted. As reviewers of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World recently wrote, “all maps—in one way or another, aggressively or unconsciously—‘lie’ to us” (Alcock, Dey and Parker 2001, 458). This discriminating duty of the cartographer, when paired with the narrow approach of traditional classical scholarship on the Near East during the Hellenistic era (ca. 323-31 BC), has resulted in rather peculiar maps of the period: undiscovered places that are mentioned in Greek and Roman sources are marked, while archaeological sites whose names do not appear in this particular body of literature are not. The dominant narrative concerning the Hellenistic Near East has radically privileged cities thought to have been havens of Hellenism, due to the celebrated works of Greek art their inhabitants produced. For the student of classical archaeology, the likely impression of the Near East in the enigmatic period between the collapse of the Persian Empire and the rise of the Roman Empire is like that of a photograph with well-focused, fore grounded, Hellenized hubs—such as Pergamon, Antioch, Ephasos—set against a soft-focused, hazy background of 1 places that were perhaps touched by the ripple effects of Hellenism, or stagnantly persisted as vestigially Persian.

  • Unexpected Nasal Consonants in Joseon-Era Korean Thomas
    Unexpected Nasal Consonants in Joseon-Era Korean Thomas Darnell 17 April 2020 The diminutive suffixes -ngaji and -ngsengi are unique in contemporary Korean in ​ ​ ​ ​ that they both begin with the velar nasal consonant (/ŋ/) and seem to be of Korean origin. Surprisingly, they seem to share no direct genetic affiliation. But by reverse-engineering sound change involving the morpheme-initial velar nasal in the Ulsan dialect, I prove that the historical form of -aengi was actually ​ ​ maximally -ng; thus the suffixes -ngaji and -ngsaengi are related if we consider ​ ​ ​ ​ them to be concatenations of this diminutive suffix -ng and the suffixes -aji and ​ ​ ​ ​ -sengi. This is supported by the existence of words with the -aji suffix in which the ​ ​ ​ initial velar nasal -ㅇ is absent and which have no semantic meaning of ​ ​ diminutiveness. 1. Introduction Korean is a language of contested linguistic origin spoken primarily on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. There are approximately 77 million Korean speakers globally, though about 72 million of these speakers reside on the Korean peninsula (Eberhard et al.). Old Korean is the name given to the first attested stage of the Koreanic family, referring to the language spoken in the Silla kingdom, a small polity at the southeast end of the Korean peninsula. It is attested (at first quite sparsely) from the fifth century until the overthrow of the Silla state in the year 935 (Lee & Ramsey 2011: 48, 50, 55). Soon after that year, the geographic center of written Korean then moved to the capital of this conquering state, the Goryeo kingdom, located near present-day Seoul; this marks the beginning of Early Middle Korean (Lee & Ramsey: 50, 77).

  • A Comparative Analysis of the Simplification of Chinese Characters in Japan and China
    CONTRASTING APPROACHES TO CHINESE CHARACTER REFORM: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SIMPLIFICATION OF CHINESE CHARACTERS IN JAPAN AND CHINA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES AUGUST 2012 By Kei Imafuku Thesis Committee: Alexander Vovin, Chairperson Robert Huey Dina Rudolph Yoshimi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express deep gratitude to Alexander Vovin, Robert Huey, and Dina R. Yoshimi for their Japanese and Chinese expertise and kind encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. Their guidance, as well as the support of the Center for Japanese Studies, School of Pacific and Asian Studies, and the East-West Center, has been invaluable. i ABSTRACT Due to the complexity and number of Chinese characters used in Chinese and Japanese, some characters were the target of simplification reforms. However, Japanese and Chinese simplifications frequently differed, resulting in the existence of multiple forms of the same character being used in different places. This study investigates the differences between the Japanese and Chinese simplifications and the effects of the simplification techniques implemented by each side. The more conservative Japanese simplifications were achieved by instating simpler historical character variants while the more radical Chinese simplifications were achieved primarily through the use of whole cursive script forms and phonetic simplification techniques. These techniques, however, have been criticized for their detrimental effects on character recognition, semantic and phonetic clarity, and consistency – issues less present with the Japanese approach. By comparing the Japanese and Chinese simplification techniques, this study seeks to determine the characteristics of more effective, less controversial Chinese character simplifications.
