  • Introduction
    Introduction In March 1949, when Mao Zedong set out for Beijing from Xibaipo, the remote village where he had lived for the previous ten months, he took along four printed texts. Included were the Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian, c. 100 BCE) and the Zizhi tongjian (Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government, c. 1050 CE), two works that had been studied for centuries by emperors, statesmen, and would-be conquerors. Along with these two historical works, Mao packed two modern Chinese dictionaries, Ciyuan (The Encyclopedic Dictionary, first published by the Commercial Press in 1915) and Cihai (Ocean of Words, issued by Zhonghua Books in 1936- 37).1 If the two former titles, part of the standard repertoire regularly re- printed by both traditional and modern Chinese publishers, are seen as key elements of China’s broadly based millennium-old print culture, then the presence of the two latter works symbolizes the singular intellectual and political importance of two modern industrialized publishing firms. Together with scores of other innovative Shanghai-based printing and publishing enterprises, these two corporations shaped and standardized modern Chi- nese language and thought, both Mao’s and others’, using Western-style printing and publishing operations of the sort commonly traced to Johann Gutenberg.2 As Mao, who had once organized a printing workers’ union, understood, modern printing and publishing were unimaginable without the complex of revolutionary technologies invented by Gutenberg in the fifteenth century. At its most basic level, the Gutenberg revolution involved the adaptation of mechanical processes to the standardization and duplication of texts using movable metal type and the printing press.

THE KILEN LANGUAGE OF MANCHURIA: GRAMMAR OF A MORIBUND TUNGUSIC LANGUAGE ZHANG PAIYU Ph.D. THESIS UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG February 2013 Abstract of thesis entitled The Kilen Language of Manchuria: Grammar of a moribund Tungusic language Submitted by Zhang Paiyu For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in February 2013 This thesis is the first comprehensive reference grammar of Kilen, a lesser known and little studied language of the Tungusic Family. At present, Kilen is a moribund language with less than 10 bilingual speakers in the eastern part of Heilongjiang Province of P.R.China. Since the language does not have a writing system, the examples are provided in IPA transcription with morpheme tagging. This thesis is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 1 states the background information of Kilen language in terms of Ethnology, Migration and Language Contact. Beginning from Chapter 2, the language is described in the aspects of Phonology, Morphology and Syntax. This thesis is mainly concerned with morphosyntactic aspects of Kilen. Chapters 6-8 provide a portrait of Kilen syntactic organization. The sources for this description include the work of You Zhixian (1989), which documents oral literature originally recorded by You himself, a fluent Kilen native speaker; example sentences drawn from previous linguistic descriptions, mainly those of An (1985) and You & Fu (1987); author’s field records and personal consultation data recorded and transcribed by the author and Wu Mingxiang, one of the last fluent native speakers.

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.

    Reading in a Foreign Language April 2012, Volume 24, No. 1 ISSN 1539-0578 pp. 124–129 Reviewed work: Manchu: A Textbook for Reading Documents (2nd ed.). (2010). Gertrude Roth Li. University of Hawai‘i Press. Pp. 419+xi. ISBN: 9780980045956. (paperback) $36.00. Reviewed by Liliya M. Gorelova Institute for Oriental Studies Russian Academy of Sciences Russia; University of Auckland New Zealand http://nflrc.hawaii.edu The first edition of the Textbook for reading Manchu documents in English by Dr. Gertraude Roth Li was long overdue. Indeed, the previous Manchu textbook in English was written by von P.G. Möllendorf in 1892; since then Manchu Studies have advanced significantly, but no new textbooks in English have appeared. In the last century, however, the extralinguistic situation changed radically. The Manchu language—with several exceptions—went out of use, and only a handful of specialists worldwide can now read and translate original Manchu documents written in Classical (Standard) Manchu. Even fewer, and these few include Dr. Roth Li, can understand texts written in Old Manchu, which is based on the Mongolian syllabic alphabet. Most of the pre- 1644 Manchu documents were written in this old script, which was in use until the Manchu scholar Dahai essentially improved it. With the help of special diacritic signs, dots and circles, Dahai (1632) encoded every Manchu sound by a separate letter. Dr. Roth Li is a leading expert in both versions of Manchu, her English translations from Manchu are precise and her explanations comprehensive. As is well-known, the Manchu Qing dynasty—after ruling China for more than 250 years (1644– 1911)—left numerous official documents that can shed light on the history of China, the relations of this long-lived state with other nations and regions, and the history of Central and Eastern Asia in general.
