INTRODUCTION 5460 words In the past ten years or so, important advances in our understanding of the formation of East Asian populations, historical cultures and language phyla have been made separately by geneticists, physical anthropologists, archaeologists and linguists. In particular, the genetics of East Asian populations have become the focus of intense scrutiny. The mapping of genetic markers, both classical and molecular, is progressing daily: geneticists are now proposing scenarios for the initial settlement of East Asia by modern humans, as well as for population movements in more recent times. Chinese archaeologists have shown conclusively that the origins of rice agriculture are to be sought in the mid-Yangzi region around 10,000 BP and that a millet-based agriculture developed in the Huang He Valley somewhat later. -

Writing As Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-Language Literature
At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2021 Reading Committee: Edward Mack, Chair Davinder Bhowmik Zev Handel Jeffrey Todd Knight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2021 Christopher J Lowy University of Washington Abstract At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Edward Mack Department of Asian Languages and Literature This dissertation examines the dynamic relationship between written language and literary fiction in modern and contemporary Japanese-language literature. I analyze how script and narration come together to function as a site of expression, and how they connect to questions of visuality, textuality, and materiality. Informed by work from the field of textual humanities, my project brings together new philological approaches to visual aspects of text in literature written in the Japanese script. Because research in English on the visual textuality of Japanese-language literature is scant, my work serves as a fundamental first-step in creating a new area of critical interest by establishing key terms and a general theoretical framework from which to approach the topic. Chapter One establishes the scope of my project and the vocabulary necessary for an analysis of script relative to narrative content; Chapter Two looks at one author’s relationship with written language; and Chapters Three and Four apply the concepts explored in Chapter One to a variety of modern and contemporary literary texts where script plays a central role. -

The participants consisted of 12 Japanese children who had difficulties in reading and writing Japanese and were suspected of having developmental disorders. A test battery was created on the basis of the characteristics of the Japanese language to examine Kana’s orthography-to-phonology mapping and target four cognitive skills: analysis of phonological structure, letter-to-sound conversion, visual information processing, and eye–hand coordination. An examination of the individual ability levels for these four elements revealed that reading and writing difficulties are not caused by a single disability, but by a combination of factors. -
New Political Economy of East Asia: Korean Perspective
New Political Economy of East Asia: Korean Perspective Jaymin Lee (Yonsei University) [email protected] Abstract This paper first examines the effects of the rise of Chinese economy on Korean economic development and Korea’s policy to deal with them. The paper then investigates the Korean perception of the problem of emerging economic integration and political conflict in East Asia and Korea’s strategy to cope with the problem. Emphasis is given to comparative historical perspective. I. Introduction With the rise of the China, Korea faces two major (inter-related) challenges: • Finding new development strategy • Finding Korea’s Place in the international political economy II. China Shock and Korea’s Development Strategy Rise of China a mixed blessing for Korea economically. • China now the largest export market (21.8% in 2005, 27.2% if Hong Kong is added), far surpassing the US (14.5%). China the source of the largest trade surplus. • On the other hand, Chinese exports increasingly competing with Korean goods, and Chinese imports pushing up the price of raw materials in the global market. As a result, Korea’s terms of trade deteriorates, and that reduces the growth rate of national income, by as much as 1.4% points on average from 1996 to 2005 (GDP growth rate 4.5%, GNI growth rate 3.1%). • Korea also has to compete ever more intensively with China to induce investment (even by domestic firms), which is no longer confined to investment by smaller firms in labor intensive manufacturing industries. China by far the largest destination of Korean FDI overseas. -

'Positional Effect' on Consonant Gemination in Japanese Haruo
日本語促音の「位置効果」について On the ‘positional effect’ on consonant gemination in Japanese Haruo KUBOZONO*, Hajime TAKEYASU** and Mikio GIRIKO* *National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, **Mie University Japanese loanwords from English display many interesting phenomena concerning the occurrence or non-occurrence of sokuon, or geminate obstruent. One of them concerns the so-called ‘positional effect’ by which gemination tends to restrictively occur in word-final position. One typical example is the English word picnic [piknik], which yields a geminate consonant only in the original second syllable when borrowed into Japanese: /pi.ku.nik.ku/, */pik.ku.ni.ku/, */pik.ku.nik.ku/. Other examples are given in (1) and (2). Words in (1) have a geminate obstruent, whereas those in (2) do not. (1) cap kyap.pu, dock dok.ku, mix mik.ku.su, sax sak.ku.su, box bok.ku.su, fax fak.ku.su (2) captain kya.pu.ten, doctor do.ku.taa, mixer mi.ki.saa, saxophone sa.ki.so.fon, boxer bo.ku.saa, facsimile fa.ku.si.mi.ri The primary question we would like to address in this talk is where this positional effect comes from. There are at least two possibilities. One hypothesis is that the phonological position itself is a pivotal factor to which native speakers of Japanese are sensitive. According to this hypothesis, native Japanese speakers hear a geminate consonant in word-final position, but not in other positions, for purely structural/positional reasons. Alternatively, it is possible that phonetic properties in the input English words differ between word-medial and final syllables and that native speakers of Japanese display the positional effect in question by reacting to these phonetic properties sensitively. -
Register in Eastern Cham: Phonological, Phonetic and Sociolinguistic Approaches
REGISTER IN EASTERN CHAM: PHONOLOGICAL, PHONETIC AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC APPROACHES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marc Brunelle August 2005 © 2005 Marc Brunelle REGISTER IN EASTERN CHAM: PHONOLOGICAL, PHONETIC AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC APPROACHES Marc Brunelle, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2005 The Chamic language family is often cited as a test case for contact linguistics. Although Chamic languages are Austronesian, they are claimed to have converged with Mon-Khmer languages and adopted features from their closest neighbors. A good example of such a convergence is the realization of phonological register in Cham dialects. In many Southeast Asian languages, the loss of the voicing contrast in onsets has led to the development of two registers, bundles of features that initially included pitch, voice quality, vowel quality and durational differences and that are typically realized on rimes. While Cambodian Cham realizes register mainly through vowel quality, just like Khmer, the registers of the Cham dialect spoken in south- central Vietnam (Eastern Cham) are claimed to have evolved into tone, a property that plays a central role in Vietnamese phonology. This dissertation evaluates the hypothesis that contact with Vietnamese is responsible for the recent evolution of Eastern Cham register by exploring the nature of the sound system of Eastern Cham from phonetic, phonological and sociolinguistic perspectives. Proponents of the view that Eastern Cham has a complex tone system claim that tones arose from the phonemicization of register allophones conditioned by codas after the weakening or deletion of coda stops and laryngeals. -
