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.

  • Ideophones in Middle Chinese
    KU LEUVEN FACULTY OF ARTS BLIJDE INKOMSTSTRAAT 21 BOX 3301 3000 LEUVEN, BELGIË ! Ideophones in Middle Chinese: A Typological Study of a Tang Dynasty Poetic Corpus Thomas'Van'Hoey' ' Presented(in(fulfilment(of(the(requirements(for(the(degree(of(( Master(of(Arts(in(Linguistics( ( Supervisor:(prof.(dr.(Jean=Christophe(Verstraete((promotor)( ( ( Academic(year(2014=2015 149(431(characters Abstract (English) Ideophones in Middle Chinese: A Typological Study of a Tang Dynasty Poetic Corpus Thomas Van Hoey This M.A. thesis investigates ideophones in Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) Middle Chinese (Sinitic, Sino- Tibetan) from a typological perspective. 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.

  • 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.

  • The Human Flesh Search Engine: Democracy, Censorship, and Political Participation in Twenty-First Century China”
    “The Human Flesh Search Engine: Democracy, Censorship, and Political Participation in Twenty-First Century China” Vincent Capone, University of Massachusetts Boston Based on an undergraduate thesis from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Wang Jue was most likely never aware of the notoriety she would gain after posting an anonymous video on the internet of herself crushing a kitten with her high-heeled shoe. Similarly, she most likely was never aware that her identity would be discovered from the short video or that she would soon become known solely as the “Kitten Killer of Hangzhou.” Wang Jue was a young woman who took out her anger over a failed relationship by crushing a small kitten and videotaping it. She posted the video on her personal blog on the internet for anyone to see. The video became instantly popular as news about this gruesome act quickly spread across the Chinese internet. Viewers were outraged by the footage and spoke out on various web forums, demanding that the unknown woman be brought to justice for her inhumane act. From the video alone Chinese netizens, defined as “any Chinese citizen aged six and above who has used the internet in the past half a year”, were able to determine the location where the video was shot. 1 The location was not a well-known area, but because of the sheer number of viewers that watched the video, enough netizens watched the video who were familiar with that location to determine it was filmed in Hangzhou, China. Netizens were similarly able to determine the woman’s identity by tracing an online purchase of stiletto shoes through eBay.com, the same pair worn by Wang in the video, to a personal website set up under the name “Gainmas”.

  • Thoughts on the Names of the Thirty(-Six) Rime Table Initials
    Bulletin of Chinese Linguistics 10 (2017) 133-143 brill.com/bcl Thoughts on the Names of the Thirty(-six) Rime Table Initials W. South Coblin University of Iowa [email protected] Abstract Closely associated with the Chinese rime table (Chin. děngyùntú 等韻圖) tradition is an ordered list of syllables, referred to in Chinese as the Sānshíliù zìmŭ 三十六字母. As this term indicates, there are thirty-six members in the usually cited full list. A shorter version, found in the so-called Shǒuwēn 守溫 Fragments from Dunhuang, has only thirty members (cf. Coblin 2006a). In addition to the copies of the list incorporated into the various tables themselves, several “disembodied” lists, perhaps copybook exercises of some sort, have also been found in the broader corpus of Chinese Dunhuang texts (Coblin 2006b: 146). The syllable initial classes for which the characters in the rime tables serve as names are basic componential elements in the field of traditional Chinese historical phonology and as such have been subject to intense scrutiny for nearly 1000 years. On the other hand, the actual names themselves have attracted little attention. It has been noted that each naming syllable denoted by the char- acters in the list embodies the particular medieval syllable initial of the sound class for which it stands in the tables. But beyond this the question of how these particular syllables, rather than all other available ones, were selected, seems to have aroused scant interest among philologists and sinolinguists. It is, accordingly, this question that will be the topic of the present paper. Keywords Rime Tables – Rime Books – Chinese philological tradition – historical phonology 1 Background Issues1 We shall begin by outlining the background of the problem.
