These tasks were, as far as I understand, carried out carefully, effectively and to the contentment of most participants. Mist and rain were driven off during the night, and a gentle autumn sun greeted us on Wednesday morning—the first day of the conference proper, and shone throughout most of the remainder of the conference, all in accordance with the “weather forecast” issued on the conference webpage months earlier! The Sun Forum of Heilongjiang University provided a thoroughly appropriate location for the opening ceremony with following keynote addresses, hosted by Prof. Sun Hongkai of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and 1 The conference was jointly organised by the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Chinese Central University for Nationalities and Heilongjiang University.

Theoretical background: PanchronPanchronyy and "Diahoric" StudiesStudies This paper aims at introducing to the panchronic perspective based on a specific problem of historical linguistics in Burmese. Its purpose is to demonstrate that a diachrony is not exclusively indicative of systemic internal contingencies but also a medium through which a socio-cultural situation of the past surfaces. In this sense, I will argue that both internal and external factors of a specific diachrony belong to both obverses of a same panchronic coin and that a combined analysis of both diachronic factors generates powerful explanatory models.

  • Contact-Induced Tonogenesis in Southern Qiang*
    LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS 2.2:63-110, 2001 Contact-Induced Tonogenesis in Southern Qiang* Jonathan P. Evans Michigan State University and Oakland University In the Qiang language, the Southern dialects (SQ) exploit tones to make lexical distinctions, while the Northern dialects (NQ) lack tonal phenomena. There are also a few transitional dialects in which tones distinguish a few minimal pairs; each pair includes at least one borrowing from Chinese. Attempts have been made (e.g., Liu 1998a) to correlate the tones of SQ with certain phonetic features of NQ dialects (e.g., consonant cluster initials and vowel quantity/quality/rhotacization). This paper presents evidence that SQ was a pitch accent language which has undergone contact-induced tonogenesis; viz., after undergoing phonological simplifications that made SQ dialects tone-prone, lexical borrowings from a tonal language (Sichuanese Mandarin) caused the beginnings of tonal distinctions. Some dialects (Longxi, Taoping) have developed full-blown tonal systems, while others (Mianchi, Heihu) have layers of tonal strata over pitch accent systems. There appear to be phonetic motivations for some accented syllables and for certain minor tones, which are of relatively recent origin. Key words: Qiang, tonogenesis, lexical stress, pitch accent, language contact 1. Introduction This paper consists of six sections. In the following section I introduce the tonal systems of the key SQ dialects. In section 3 the argument is made that tone in Southern Qiang is an innovation, and not a retention which was lost in Northern Qiang. In the fourth section I propose a course of development for the genesis of tones in Southern Qiang, and in the fifth section I set forth evidence that the development of the SQ *pitch-accent system was influenced by tonogenetic factors.

    #14\13\3031 Bodman, Nicholas Cleveland, 1913- Nicholas C. Bodman papers, 1945-ca. 1979. 2 cubic ft. Includes photocopies and typed transcripts. Professor of Chinese Linguistics at Cornell University from 1962-1979. Nicholas C. Bodman received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from Yale University. He entered the Navy during World War II, and was transferred to Pearl Harbor in 1942, where he was part of the group that deciphered the Japanese naval code. From 1950 to 1961, he worked as a scientific linguist with the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. State Department. He came to Cornell in 1962 as an expert in the historic reconstruction of Chinese and related languages. He won Guggenheim and National Science Foundation fellowships in 1961 and 1962, which took him to India, Nepal, and Burma to study Tibeto­ Burman languages. After his retirement from Cornell he visited the People's Republic of China twice at the invitation of the Institute of Linguistics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He lectured at major universities and research institutes and conducted linguistic fieldwork on the Min dialect in both Fujian and Guangdon provinces. He was the author of four books and numerous articles and reviews. Professor Bodman died in 1997. Summary: Papers include personal and autobiographical material relating to the U.S. Navy and Naval Reserve, 1945-1963 (photocopies); Yale University, 1945-1950 (photocopies); early correspondence from fellow linguists, 1948; account of a trip to Malaya, and the establishment of the Government Officers Chinese

PREFACE My thanks and appreciation go out to the members of my committee, Jim Matisoff, Shirley Silver, and Karl Zimmer, for the painful task of reading previous drafts of this work, often lacking in depth, organiza­ tion, and style, much of which they kindly supplied. I am, of course, indebted in more significant ways to the people who, as my teachers, contributed so much to the background necessary for successfully realizing this work.
