The initial consonant in Chinese: concourse type, dichotomy type, modern pronunciation pattern of Zhizhaozhang groups in and trisection type. Zhiyan cluster dialect includes Zhiyan cluster is in line with the dialect of “Zhongyuan Zhierzhuang and Zhisanzhang, belonging to the dichotomy Yinyun”, which was formed at the latest in the Yuan Dynasty. type. Xiong Zhenghui (1990) pointed out that in the northern dialect, there are the Jinan type with integration of Keywords—ancient Zhizhuangzhang; modern pronunciation Zhizhuangzhang and the Nanjing type and Changxu type type; formation time; Zhiyan cluster; Jin dialect with Zhi'erzhuang and Zhisanzhang opposite to each other.

INTRODUCTION Zhizhuangzhang in Zhiyan cluster is the same as that of Zhiyan cluster of Jin dialect is located in Yan'an City, Changxu type, so it belongs to the typical Changxu type. Shaanxi Province, including dialects of six counties: Wuqi, Zhidan, Ansai, Yan'an, Yanchang and Ganquan. [1] Zhiyan III. THE DISTRIBUTION SCOPE OF THE TYPICAL cluster is in the transitional zone between Jin dialect and CHANGXU TYPE official language of central China. It has transitional features The dichotomy type of Zhizhuangzhang is widely in many aspects of the dialect. However, the modern distributed in Chinese dialects, extending westward to pronunciation of Zhinzhuang groups is completely consistent Qinghai, northward to Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, with the mainstream of Jin dialect in Shaanxi and is very southward to Xiang dialect and Gan dialect areas, and stable. eastward to Jiaoliao Peninsula. Changxu type is a subtype of dichotomy type, and the distribution scope is also very large: II. THE MODERN PRONUNCIATION TYPE OF Qinlong cluster (Xining), Guanzhong cluster, Fenhe cluster, ZHIZHUANGZHANG INITIAL CONSONANTS GROUPS IN Luoxu cluster (Xuzhou), Zhengcao cluster (Ganyu) and ZHIYAN CLUSTER OF JIN DIALECT south Xinjiang cluster (Yanqi) in the Central Plains The division and combination rules and the distribution Mandarin, North Xinjiang cluster and Hexi cluster (Minqin) of the pronunciation of ancient Zhizhuangzhang initial of Lanyin official language, Canghui cluster (Cangzhou) and consonants in the six counties of Zhiyan cluster of Jin dialect Baotang cluster (Tianjin) of Beijing official language and showed a very strong consistency. The modern Qingzhou cluster (Pingdu) and Denglian cluster (Wendeng) pronunciations of the ancient Zhizhuangzhang initial of Jiaoliao official language. [3] For example, Haiyuan consonants are the combination of the Zhierzhuang opening dialect and Guyuan dialect of Ningxia, Dunhuang dialect and mouth and the Hongyin word of Jing group (except the Minqin dialect of Gansu, Xinjiang Urumqi dialect, Xuzhou Dangjiangshezhuang group, the Jiangshezhi group, the dialect, etc. are all typical Chang Xu type.

Zhizhuangzhang initial consonants of 21 Jin dialect areas in From the classification of the sounds of the ancient the northern Shaanxi (the county in the north of Yan'an), and Zhizhuangzhang Jing group, there are usually three types of finds that most of the dialects belong to the typical Changxu type, and only six dialect areas are different.

The Zones of pronunciation of ancient Zhizhuangzhang group of 101 Chinese Dialects in the Four Provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, dialect areas in Shanxi, and divided them into three Ningxia and Qinghai (1986) lists the classification and categories: I Zhizhuangzhang dichotomy type; II distribution of the four characters of “zhu, chu, shu, and ru”, Zhizhuangzhang integration type; III Zhizhuangzhang in which the sound value of initial consonant in Ji type and integration type of Jing four groups.

  • Characteristics of Chinese Poetic-Musical Creations
    Characteristics of Chinese Poetic-Musical Creations Yan GENG1 Abstract: The present study intoduces a series of characteristics related to Chinese poetry. It shows that, together with rhythmical structure and intonation (which has a crucial role in conveying meaning), an additional, fundamental aspect of Chinese poetry lies in the latent, pictorial effect of the writing. Various genres and forms of Chinese poetry are touched upon, as well as a series of figures of speech, themes (nature, love, sadness, mythology etc.) and symbols (particularly of vegetal and animal origin), which are frequently encountered in the poems. Key-words: rhythm, intonation, system of tones, rhyme, system of writing, figures of speech 1. Introduction In his Advanced Music Theory course, &RQVWDQWLQ 5kSă VKRZV WKDW ³we can differentiate between two levels of the phenomenon of rhythm: the first, a general philosophical one, meaning, within the context of music, the ensemble of movements perceived, thus the macrostructural level; the second, the micro-VWUXFWXUH ZKHUH UK\WKP PHDQV GXUDWLRQV « LQWHQVLWLHVDQGWHPSR « 0RUHRYHUZHFDQVD\WKDWUK\WKPGRHVQRWH[LVWEXWUDWKHUMXVW the succession of sounds in time [does].´2 Studies on rhythm, carried out by ethno- musicology researchers, can guide us to its genesis. A first fact that these studies point towards is the indissoluble unity of the birth process of artistic creation: poetry, music (rhythm-melody) and dance, which manifested syncretically for a very lengthy period of time. These aspects are not singular or characteristic for just one culture, as it appears that they have manifested everywhere from the very beginning of mankind. There is proof both in Chinese culture, as well as in ancient Romanian culture, that certifies the existence of a syncretic development of the arts and language.

THE LINGUISTIC CATEGORIZATION OF DEICTIC DIRECTION IN CHINESE —— WITH REFERENCE TO JAPANESE —— Christine Lamarre, University of Tokyo Abstract This paper discusses the linguistic categorization of deictic direction in Mandarin Chinese, with reference to Japanese. It focuses on the following question: to what extent should the prevalent bimorphemic (nondeictic + deictic) structure of Chinese directionals be linked to its typological features as a satellite-framed language? We know from other satellite-framed languages such as English, Hungarian, and Russian that this feature is not necessarily directly connected to satellite-framed patterns.

  • Research on the Time When Ping Split Into Yin and Yang in Chinese Northern Dialect

The phonetic phenomenon “ping split into yin and yang” 平分阴阳 is one of the most important changes of Chinese tones in the early modern Chinese, which is reflected clearly in Zhongyuan Yinyun 中原音韵 by Zhou Deqing 周德清 (1277-1356) in the Yuan Dynasty. The authors of this paper think the phe- nomenon “ping split into yin and yang” should not have occurred so late as in the Yuan Dynasty, based on previous research results and modern Chinese dialects, making use of historical comparative method and rhyming books. The changes of tones have close relationship with the voiced and voiceless initials in Chinese, and the voiced initials have turned into voiceless in Song Dynasty, so it could not be in the Yuan Dynasty that ping split into yin and yang, but no later than the Song Dynasty.

  • The Development of 'Wang+Path' Adverbials in Northern Chinese
    Breaking Down the Barriers, 887-909 2013-1-050-041-000372-1 When Lexicalization Meets Grammaticalization: The Development of ‘wang+path’ Adverbials * in Northern Chinese Christine Lamarre (柯理思) INALCO-CRLAO This paper discusses a productive compounding pattern, which combines preposition 往 WANG (wàng or wǎng) ‘towards’, with a path-expressing element, either a monosyllabic localizer, e.g. 往裡 wǎnglǐ ‘in’, or a path verb, e.g. 往回 wǎnghuí ‘back’ or 往起 wǎngqǐ ‘up’. These compounds, like directional complements, express the core path meanings of a spatial motion event (‘up’, ‘down’, ‘in’, ‘out’, ‘across’ etc.), but they appear before the verb, whereas directional complements follow the verb. Only the latter (e.g. 拿進去 nájinqu ‘take in’, 拿回去 náhuiqu ‘take back’ or 拿起來 náqilai ‘take up’) have a bounding effect on the clause. We argue that one important motivation for this lexicalization process is the need for two complete symmetrical sets of path- marking elements which share the same repertory of path meanings, but have different aspectual implications for the clause. The second type of compounds (WANG + directional verb) appears later in history than the first type (WANG + localizer), and fills up the gaps existing in the repertory of core path meanings provided by localizers, e.g. huí ‘back’, qǐ ‘up (source-oriented)’, guò ‘over’ etc. We also discuss the role of grammaticalization in this evolution, and conclude on a few typological perspectives. Key words: path of motion, directionals, localizers, Northern Mandarin, lexicali- zation, grammaticalization 1. Introduction We discuss here a productive compounding pattern, which combines preposition 往 WANG (wàng or wǎng) ‘towards’, with a path-expressing element (hereafter path), * We develop here some sections of a paper read at the 4th Kentridge roundtable on Chinese Linguistics on grammaticalization and lexicalization (National Singapore University, September 2008).

  • EALC 736 Historiography of the Mongol Yuan Empire Thursday 3
    EALC 736 Historiography of the Mongol Yuan Empire Thursday 3-6, Williams Hall #438 Office Hours: M, 1-2 and by appointment Syllabus (preliminary; more to come) The aim of this course is to introduce graduate students to the peculiarities of sources relating to the Mongol Yuan empire (and believe me, they are very peculiar). To handle these sources we will 1) acquire background knowledge about the period and the major historical events; 2) survey the range of the multi-lingual traditions and genres represented with some consideration of the strengths and weaknesses; 3) learn about methods of textual, analytical, and redactional criticism that are often more used in West and Central Asian historiographies; 4) practice reading inscriptions and legal texts in the very odd literal translation from Mongolian to Chinese current in the Yuan dynasty. Upon completion, students will be able to use the wide range of sources available on the Mongol Yuan empire to conduct original research on major topics. Languages: The Mongol empire was extraordinarily multi-lingual, and important sources cover a wide range of materials. While ability to read classical and modern Chinese is generally expected, there is enough available in translation to allow interested students with other language competencies (Persian first and foremost, also Mongolian, Tibetan, Armenian, Romance languages, etc.) to do great work. I welcome students with reading abilities in these languages to consider the class, and will work with them to craft an alternative syllabus that works for them. Weekly Assignments: In addition to preparing the readings for discuss, students will be reQuired to perform a kaozheng task set by the instructor (these will be adjusted for the language competency of the students).

Methods: Seventy two free lists were collected among the inhabitants of two mountain valleys (36 in each). All the studied households are within walking distance of primary forest vegetation, however the valleys differed in access to urban centers: Houzhenzi is very isolated, and the Dali valley has easier access to the cities of central Shaanxi. Results: Altogether, 185 wild food plant species and 17 fungi folk taxa were mentioned. The mean number of freelisted wild foods was very high in Houzhenzi (mean 25) and slightly lower in Dali (mean 18). An average respondent listed many species of wild vegetables, a few wild fruits and very few fungi. Age and male gender had a positive but very low effect on the number of taxa listed.
