Aspects-Of-Classical-Chinese-Kyoto This book consists of a series of original and detailed studies on basic problems of Classical Chinese grammar. Well over 1000 Classical Chinese sentences are quoted and analysed so that the book may serve as a teaching aid for advanced students of Classical Chinese. The topics discussed in­ clude negation, pronouns, words for ‘all’, ‘some’, ‘only’, ‘many’; ‘few’, and the contrasts between various kinds of conditional sentences in Classical Chinese. The new results reported in this doctoral dissertation from the University of Copenhagen will be of great practical interest for anyone con­ cerned with Classical Chinese literature or Chinese linguistics. The inclusion ofhandbook.for a detailed analytical index increases sinologists. the value of the work as ’ a practical Christoph Harbsmeier is at present Senior Lecturer in Chinese Language and Literature in the East Asian Institute of the University of Oslo.

Leon: Character Indexes of Modern Chinese Reflecting recent" developments of the Chinese language in the People's Republic of China, this book provides, in one volume, a convenient cross-reference between the following systems for arranging Chinese characters: 1. The Chinese Phonetic Alphabet; 2. The 189 new "Radicals; 3. The new Four-Corner Number; and 4. The Rapid‘Stroke-Order Number. All the 9,394 characters listed in the Xinhua Zidién ‘New China Dictionary’, the standard monolingual Chinese dictionary of modern usage in China at the present time, are in­ cluded in the indexes according to the first three systems, which have been widely used in China in recent years for indexing characters. In addition, the Chinese characters officially used in Japan are included in the appendices, thereby enlarging the use of the book.

Professor Soren Egerod, Copenhagen, has encouraged me to embark on this project and to submit the book as a doctoral thesis in the University of Copenhagen. Professor A. C. Graham, London, has given me his unstinting moral support over a long number of years. I have profited at many points from thoroughly congenial discussions with him. Professor Henry Henne, Oslo, has kindly recommended my book for publication by Curzon Press, London. Professor Piet van der Loon, Oxford, has provided some useful hints. The help of the librarian Dr. Carl Steenstrup, Copenhagen, was especially important for my work, since I had to write this book far from public sinological libraries, on the mellow island of Fyn. My teacher Tung Yu Lin from Penang has undertaken the arduous task of printing the Chinese characters for this book. Dr. Lois Egerod, Mrs. Lise Sode-Mogensen and Mr. Frede Hojgaard have kindly and patiently helped with the task of proof-reading and seeing the book through the press. The Danish Research Council for the Humanities has provided a grant towards the publication of this book. Finally, I should like to thank Professor Lii Shuxiang, Peking, for his generous encouragement, and for doing me the honour to write the characters for the Chinese title page of this book. Reading other scholars’ work on Chinese grammar, I have often found much to be dissatisfied with. Looking back now, I am afraid my attitude to my own work is not so different: I wish I had been able to write a better book. It is my earnest hope that in spite of its shortcom­ ings this book may prove useful to fellow students and lovers of Classi­ cal Chinese language and literature. C.H. Introduction Ancient or Classical Chinese (AC) was the literary language current (and evolving) in China around 500-200 B.C.. It is the language of China’s first great moralist Confucius and of his successors who laid the foundations for Confucianism which was to dominate China right down to the 20th century. It is the language of the oldest and greatest monu­ ments of Taoist mystical philosophy, the Lao Zi and the Zhuang Zi. It is the language of China’s earliest systematic efforts in logic and sci­ ence, the Mo Zi and the Gongsun Long Zi.‘ It is the language of China’s first great lyrical poet who put his name to his works, Qu Yuan. It is the language of China’s first work of narrative history, the Zuo Zhuan, worthy ancestor to what was to become the world’s most im­ pressive historiographical tradition, the Chinese dynastic histories. It is the language of the political philosophers Shang Yang and Han Pei Zi, whose teachings formed the ideological basis for the unification of China and the establishment of the Chinese empire. Classical Chinese is the language in which the foundations of Chinese civilisation were first articulated? In the Far East, Classical Chinese has played much the same key role as Classical Greek has in Western Europe. Its impact on language and script in countries like Vietnam, Korea, and Japan is obvious.3 In the context of Far Eastern linguistics the study of Classical Chinese gram­ mar is clearly of the very first importance. 1. Cf. the monumental study Later Mohist Logic, Ethics and Science (1978) by A. C. Graham and my review of this book in the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, London (forthcoming). 2. The recent political campaign against Confucius demonstrates abundantly how the classical heritage lives on even among the most outrageously anti-traditionalist philistines in the Chinese communist movement. (Cf. my book Konfuzius und der Riiuber Zhi (1978)). One just has to try to imagine someone trying to launch a political mass campaign against Plato in Europe in order to appreciate the traditionalism that persists in China even at the most iconoclastic of times. 3. For example, the Vietnamese leader I-Io Chi Minh was quite as fond of writing Classical Chinese poetry as Mao Ze-dong. 2 Introduction Within the larger field of general linguistics and the typology of language, Classical Chinese is of unique significance because of its extremely isolating grammatical structure. Anyone who wishes to gain an unparochial understanding of things like the history of ideas, the history of science, historiography, lyrical poetry or the philosophy of language will obviously do well to take serious account of the Classical Chinese evidence precisely because it is so different from what we are used to.

  • A Buddhist Sütra's Transformation Into a Daoist Text
    A BUDDHIST SÜTRA'S TRANSFORMATION INTO A DAOIST TEXT Stephan Peter Bumbacher, Universities of Tübingen and Zürich for Robert H. Gassmann, at his 60th birthday Abstract Daoism and Chinese Buddhism interacted in complex ways over the last two millenia. However, the precise nature of this two-way exchange still awaits a systematic investigation. Since the early 1980s, the Buddhist impact on lingbao-Daoism has become evident. Recently, it was suggested that the developing Daoist monasticism of fifth century Southern China may also have been influ¬ enced by the then already existing Buddhist one. Of special interest are Daoist texts that predate the lingbao-corpus and show some form of Buddhist influence as they might have had an impact on the latter. As a possible point of departure, an analysis of Yang Xi's adaptation of the Buddhist Forty-two sections of Buddhist sutras is offered. It shows that already a generation earlier than Ge Chaofu's lingbao scriptures Daoists not only had first hand knowledge of Buddhism but even made verbatim use of their scriptures to their own ends. As a by-product of this analysis, it is even possible to emend the received version of the Forty-two sections of Buddhist sutras where it apparently is defective. 1. Introduction The first four centuries of the common era witnessed not only the arrival of some forms of Buddhism in China, this was also the formative period of several traditions of Daoism, the indigenous Chinese Hochreligion.1 Both were essen¬ tially different: whereas the Buddhists sought to get out of samsära by entering nirväna or final extinction, the Daoists aimed at becoming immortals - either earthly immortals who would live on on earth for centuries, now and then chang¬ ing their whereabouts and altering their social identities, or heavenly immortals who would ascend heaven in broad daylight in order to integrate themselves into the heavenly hierarchy.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 5, 2014 Accepted: October 6, 2014 Online Published: October 23, 2014 doi:10.5539/elt.v7n11p15 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/elt.v7n11p15 Abstract According to the Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English 1999 by Biber et al. (p. 266) generic article uses are more than twice as common in academic English than in conversation or fiction. This is an area that English for Academic Purpose (EPA) textbooks and teachers would need to target more than general English teaching. This paper is therefore a contribution towards better understanding of what linguistic facts about generics teachers and textbooks of EAP might need to cover in order to deal with them satisfactorily, particularly for learners with Arabic or Malay as L1. This paper is also significant as it is the first to compare the expression of generic meanings by noun phrases in three typologically quite different languages: the Germanic language English, the Semitic language Arabic and the Austronesian language Malay. The contrast between the three languages is substantial in that they have different settings according to the nominal mapping parameter (NMP), which captures some widespread generalizations about the occurrence of mass and countable nouns and articles in the languages of the world.

Sabil, Shamsudin Othman, Nur Nabilah Zakaria and Tahereh Kaboodvand Faculty of Educational Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i14/3755 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i14/3755 Abstract This study targets to classify the level of mastery of the Malay language grammar of non - Malay students. Furthermore, this study explored the factors that influence on the mastery of Malay language. The survey method was used to distribute questionnaires among 100 Chinese students. The findings show that Chinese students are still weak in the knowledge of Malay language grammar (N= 1.96; SD= 0.46). This specifies that Chinese students are still incapable of producing good essays and are profoundly influenced by the mother tongue. Their roots are weak in Malay due to their attitude, lack of teaching aids, teachers' attitudes and parental attitudes. Therefore, all parties need to play a role in helping to improve the mastery of the Malay grammar of Chinese students. This helps them not to stay out of the lesson, especially in Malay language subjects. Keywords: Mastery of Malay Language Grammar, Chinese Students, Attitude, Role of Teachers Approach Introduction Malay language teaching and learning has long been conducted in Malaysian schools. Although the use of Malay language is widespread among the community, there are still errors in its use.

Particularly after the systematization of Maurice Freedman in the 1950s and 1960s, this view, as a stereo- type concerning China, has greatly affected the West’s understanding of the Chinese past. Meanwhile, most Chinese also wear the same PDG- focused glasses, even if the background from which they arrive at this view differs from the West’s. Recently like Patricia B. Ebrey, P. Steven Sangren, and James L. Watson have tried to challenge the prevailing idea from diverse perspectives.2 Some have proven that PDG proper did not appear until the Song era (in other words, about the eleventh century). Although they have confirmed that PDG was a somewhat later institution, the actual underlying view remains the same as before. Ebrey and Watson, for example, indicate: “Many basic kinship prin- ciples and practices continued with only minor changes from the Han through the Ch’ing dynasties.”3 In other words, they assume a certain continuity of paternally linked descent before and after the Song, and insist that the Chinese possessed such a tradition at least from the Han 1 This article will use both “PDG” and “zongzu” rather than try to formalize one term or one English translation.

  • Two Distinct Negation Markers Compete in Malay/Indonesian Verbal Clauses. I Argue That
    EXTERNAL NEGATION IN MALAY/INDONESIAN PAUL KROEGER Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics and SIL International Two distinct negation markers compete in Malay/Indonesian verbal clauses. I argue that one (also used to negate nominal predicates) is a marker of ‘external’ (sentential) negation, while the other is a marker of ‘internal’ (predicate) negation. This contrast is demonstrated by striking dif - ferences in syntactic distribution and scopal properties. In verbal clauses the marker of predicate negation is the default, while the marker of sentential negation is allowed only in certain pragmat - ically determined contexts. These contexts include: (i) contrastive sentences, (ii) marked narrow focus, and (iii) metalinguistic negation. External negation in Malay is restricted to ‘root clauses’; I suggest that this is due to its echoic character.* Keywords : negation, metalinguistic negation, contrastive negation, focus, presupposition, main clause phenomena 1. Negation in verbal clauses . A number of authors, including Gazdar (1979:65–66), Levinson (1983:201), and Horn (1989:366), have stated that no lan - guage, so far as we know, lexicalizes the distinction between external and internal nega - tion. 1 In this article I argue, on the basis of syntactic distribution and semantic scope, that the contrast is lexicalized in Malay/Indonesian. 2 I also present evidence showing that external negation in Malay is a main clause phenomenon in the sense of Green 1976. We begin with a long-standing descriptive puzzle in Malay grammar concerning the choice of negation marker in verbal clauses. Malay employs two different markers for clausal negation. 3 The standard negation marker tidak is used when the predicate is ver - bal (1a) or adjectival (1b), and with most predicative PPs (1c).

The differences between modern and classical Malay are not only of frequency but of function too. Pun is only one particle in the system of Malaysian-Indonesian grammar and one understands that it cannot receive more than a summary treatment in handbooks. But the result is a treatment that is insufficient or even neglectful and often misleading. It transpires that the analysis of the functions and meanings of pun depends largely on the intuition and impressions of the various authors.
