Phonological contrasts of VL vs. VD This study tries to explore phonetic mechanism of initials and Yin vs. Yang tones the evolution both for initials and tones taken place in Wu Dialects of Chinese, so that to find out why Historical literatures usually suggested that there the developments of the two aspects are always was systematic contrast on voiceless ( 清 ) vs. tangled one another. The preliminary perspectives voiced (浊) (hereafter, abbreviated as VL vs. VD) drawn here are based on a brief survey to some initials in Ancient Chinese, but no stationary tonal relevant investigations. Both acoustic and contrast until Middle Chinese. The clear physiological evidences gathered so far lead to a documentary of Four Tones distinction was suggestion that the evolution either of initials and discovered in Qieyun (< 切韵>) [8] ， which is tones might be originated from the same source, commonly regarded as phonological i.e., they are all motivated by phonation type representations of Middle Chinese. distinction existed around the boundary between initial consonant and following vowel of a syllable, 1.2.1.

According to the phonological system shown in the It is commonly supposed that voiced initial <切韵>, there still no clear distinction of Yin vs. consonants in Ancient Chinese were real voicing, Yang of tones, though did have four tones so we may accept this hypothesis before further distinction in Middle Chinese, at least, it is true discussion, though we are impossible to examine until the mid period of Mid Ancient Age. the nature of ancients’ speech.

What’s the phonetic base of VL vs. VD contrast in Wu dialects Phonetically, in domain-start positions or stressed status, Yin tone manifests as high tone or a tone Generally, VL vs. VD contrast in Chinese Wu with high-onset, and Yang tone as low tone or with dialects was supposed to be based on whether there low-onset. This phenomenon is so-called 阴高阳 is vocal cords vibration or not during the 低 , or further called 清 高 浊 低 based on the consonant articulation, and that was maintained phonotactic fact that voiced initials regularly originally from Ancient Chinese. However, early coordinate with Yang tones, and the voiceless ones in 1920s, Chao, Y-R had found that voiced stops in with Yin tones. Therefore, it was commonly Wu Chinese were not “real voicing”, but a suggested that voiceless initials will drive up pitch voiceless consonant followed by some murmur register and voiced ones lower the register. /breathiness (so-called 清音浊流). Since then, the However, there was lack of specified explanation discussion was concentrated on how to understand on why and how the influence takes place. the essence of 清音浊流, while the dispute were mostly based on perceptual impression and limited 3.1.1. How true the 阴高阳低 or 清高浊低 is? by subjective assumption until the experimental Relevant experimental results showed that [3,5], investigations conducted since 1980’s. Obviously, so-called 阴高阳低 or 清高浊低 is only limited in it is impossible to directly examine the phonetic details of the ancients’ articulation, thus, in order the case of domain-start positions or stressed status, while disappeared at once in domain-inner to understand the essence of 清音浊流, positions or unstressed status, where the pitch experimental analysis to the speech of modern Wu pattern of Yang tone will manifest similar as their dialects has become the most practical strategy Yin tone counterpart, moreover, has the Yin tone reasonably. impression in perception. 2.2. Phonetic analysis to VL vs. VD contrast Specifically, in the latter case, the pitch register of original Yang tone is not lowered but raised up To explore the phonetic characteristics of VL vs. instead. Thus, either of pitch register and the shape VD contrast, various experimental studies were for both of Yang and Yin tone become alike, conducted since 1980s [e.g., 2, 14, 3, 10, 13]. namely, the H vs. L feature for the Yin vs. Yang All the results obtained from above contrast has been neutralized. In addition, it is investigations have shown that, from Ancient interesting that, the initial consonant becomes real Chinese to modern Wu Dialects, the phonetic base voicing at the same time. Obviously, so-called 阴 for the VL vs. VD contrast has changed from 高阳低 or 清高浊低 is true only in phonological simple voice distinction (i.e., 带音/不带音, real sense and limited in certain positions, in stead of voicing vs. un-voicing) to the conditional the phonetic realization in all possible cases. 401 ICPhS XVII Regular Session Hong Kong, 17-21 August 2011 3.1.2.

Phonetic correlations between VL vs. VD of low or low-onset tones in Wu Dialects and Yin vs. Yang in Wu Dialects According to phonetic analysis [3, 5], the As described before, different phonation type is breathiness is produced by a special phonation type caused by different glottis state during articulation; during articulation, that the larynx usually to be for the case of Wu dialects, phonation type lowered and the aryepiglotticus were tensed, and distinction is manifested as breathy voice and more resistance to the vibration of vocal cords will normal voice. Accordingly, the distinction between be produced. As the result, the fundamental presence and absence of the breathiness is the frequency will be lowered reasonably, and a low or mutual base both for the contrast of VL vs. VD and low-onset tone will be formed naturally. that of Yin vs. Yang. This correlated dependence After that, a physiological study [7] further reveals that phonation distinction is the bridge that verified this viewpoint.

  • Official Colours of Chinese Regimes: a Panchronic Philological Study with Historical Accounts of China
    TRAMES, 2012, 16(66/61), 3, 237–285 OFFICIAL COLOURS OF CHINESE REGIMES: A PANCHRONIC PHILOLOGICAL STUDY WITH HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS OF CHINA Jingyi Gao Institute of the Estonian Language, University of Tartu, and Tallinn University Abstract. The paper reports a panchronic philological study on the official colours of Chinese regimes. The historical accounts of the Chinese regimes are introduced. The official colours are summarised with philological references of archaic texts. Remarkably, it has been suggested that the official colours of the most ancient regimes should be the three primitive colours: (1) white-yellow, (2) black-grue yellow, and (3) red-yellow, instead of the simple colours. There were inconsistent historical records on the official colours of the most ancient regimes because the composite colour categories had been split. It has solved the historical problem with the linguistic theory of composite colour categories. Besides, it is concluded how the official colours were determined: At first, the official colour might be naturally determined according to the substance of the ruling population. There might be three groups of people in the Far East. (1) The developed hunter gatherers with livestock preferred the white-yellow colour of milk. (2) The farmers preferred the red-yellow colour of sun and fire. (3) The herders preferred the black-grue-yellow colour of water bodies. Later, after the Han-Chinese consolidation, the official colour could be politically determined according to the main property of the five elements in Sino-metaphysics. The red colour has been predominate in China for many reasons.

  • Oujiang Wu Tones and Acoustic Reconstruction
    OUJIANG WU TONES AND ACOUSTIC RECONSTRUCTION PHIL ROSE Linguistics (Arts), Australian National University 1. Introduction We do not expect tones, as phonological phenomena, to vary without limit, but to show similarities, or so-called tonological universals, across varieties (Maddieson 1978). Nevertheless, when one samples tones from different Asian tone languages, or even different dialects, they often show a great variety of pitch shapes. Zhu and Rose (1998) for example demonstrated no less than 25 different tones in four varieties from different sub-groups within the Wu dialects of east central China. (I use the term tone in this paper in a sense analogous to phone, that is, as a constellation of audibly different properties, with pitch predominating but also including length and phonation type, that constitutes observation data for phonological – usually tonemic – analysis.) In exploring the nature of phonological variation in Language, we naturally concentrate on differences. This paper, on the other hand, makes use of how similar tones can be. It looks at variation in tones at seven localities distributed over a fairly small geographical area where the varieties, which belong to the same dialectal sub-group, have been described as homogeneous. Although this study reveals some interesting synchronic linguistic-tonetic variation, the main reason for undertaking it is not typological, but, as befits a festschrift for Harold Koch, historical. As mentioned, the Wu dialects of Chinese are well-known for their tonal complexity. Not only do they exhibit probably the most complex tone sandhi in the world (Rose 1990), but they also show a bewildering variety in their citation tones.

  • Autonomy of Chinese Judges: Dynamics of People’S Courts, the Ccp and the Public in Contemporary Judicial Reform
    AUTONOMY OF CHINESE JUDGES: DYNAMICS OF PEOPLE’S COURTS, THE CCP AND THE PUBLIC IN CONTEMPORARY JUDICIAL REFORM by YUE LIU LL.B., Jilin University, 2003 LL.M., Jilin University, 2006 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Law) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2016 © Yue Liu, 2016 Abstract This dissertation is the outcome of author’s observations and empirical research on judicial reform in China from the 1980s to 2015. Focusing on judicial decision making process of judges in Chinese courts, it attempts to answer the following questions: How do the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the public, and the internal administrative power—three factors essential to Chinese judges’ judicial decision making process— influence the adjudication of individual cases in various periods of judicial reform? How do the increasingly professionalized judges respond to these institutionalized challenges? Moreover, how do the dynamics generated from the interactions among courts, the CCP, and the public shape the norms and institutional building of judges and courts, and affect judicial reform policies in China? This dissertation adopts historical analysis, documentary analysis, and qualitative analysis to seek answers to these questions. It finds that, first, direct influence of the CCP and the public to the judicial behaviours of individual judges is less evident than indirect influence through the administrative oversight in courts’ internal bureaucracy. Second, the relationships between courts, the CCP, and the public are more dynamic in fragmented China. The norms of Chinese judges’ autonomy and institutional changes in courts are constantly shaped by the expectations and compromise of powers of the CCP, the public, and courts.

    Lesson Plan Chien-Shiung Wu, Chinese Nuclear Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu assembling an electro-static generator at Smith College Physics Laboratory. Photo courtesy of AIP Emilio Segre Visual Archives. Grade Level(s): 9-12 Subject(s): History, Physics In-Class Time: 50-65 minutes Prep Time: 10-15 minutes Materials • A/V equipment • Copies of Chien-Shiung Wu excerpt from The New Dictionary of Scientific Biography (found in the Supplemental Materials) • Copies of Discussion Questions (found in the Supplemental Materials) Prepared by the Center for the History of Physics at AIP 1 Objective In this lesson, students will learn about the life of experimental nuclear physicist Chien-Shiung Wu. Born in China, she became a hugely influential subatomic physicist after immigrating to America in the 1930s. Rather than focusing on her scientific accomplishments (which are discussed in more detail in the AIP Teacher’s Guides “Fair or Unfair: Should These Women Have Won Nobel Prizes” and “Outcasts and Opportunities: The Effects of World War II on the Careers of Female Physicists”), this lesson has students read about Chien-Shiung Wu’s early life, education, and unlikely activism. Introduction Chien-Shiung Wu (C.S. Wu) was born near Shanghai, China on May 31, 1912. She attended the Ming De School in her youth, which her father founded as one of the earliest Chinese schools to admit girls. Ultimately in 1930, she enrolled in the National Central University in Nanjing, where four years later she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in physics at the top of her class. 1 Wu’s time at Nanjing coincided with Japan’s invasion of the northern Chinese province Manchuria and subsequent attempts to destabilize the Chinese government.

    THE MEDIA’S INFLUENCE ON SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF DIALECTS: THE CASE OF CANTONESE AND SHAAN’XI DIALECTS Yuhan Mao A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Language and Communication) School of Language and Communication National Institute of Development Administration 2013 ABSTRACT Title of Thesis The Media’s Influence on Success and Failure of Dialects: The Case of Cantonese and Shaan’xi Dialects Author Miss Yuhan Mao Degree Master of Arts in Language and Communication Year 2013 In this thesis the researcher addresses an important set of issues - how language maintenance (LM) between dominant and vernacular varieties of speech (also known as dialects) - are conditioned by increasingly globalized mass media industries. In particular, how the television and film industries (as an outgrowth of the mass media) related to social dialectology help maintain and promote one regional variety of speech over others is examined. These issues and data addressed in the current study have the potential to make a contribution to the current understanding of social dialectology literature - a sub-branch of sociolinguistics - particularly with respect to LM literature. The researcher adopts a multi-method approach (literature review, interviews and observations) to collect and analyze data. The researcher found support to confirm two positive correlations: the correlative relationship between the number of productions of dialectal television series (and films) and the distribution of the dialect in question, as well as the number of dialectal speakers and the maintenance of the dialect under investigation. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to express sincere thanks to my advisors and all the people who gave me invaluable suggestions and help.
