Description:The study of contact and change in the Chinese language is a new research field in Chinese linguistics.Most of these articles comprise studies of the three major language contact episodes in China, involving the language in translated Chinese Buddhist sutras and texts of the Medieval period (the 3rd-6th century), the 'Yuan dynasty colloquial language' (Yuan baihua) used when the Mongols ruled over China in the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368), and the Chinese language under the Manchus' control during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). One article concerns the language contact study of linguistic features in certain Sinitic languages (or "Chinese dialects") in the Modern period. Some articles give special attention to a given period and discuss the linguistic changes triggered by language contact during that period, while others analyze the nature and features of the contacts of different periods and consider their impact on the historical development of the Chinese language.We hope these articles will provide an introduction to the kinds of research done by Chinese linguists in the study of contact and change in the Chinese language.This book is for students and linguists working on language contact studies or social linguistics, and for students and scholars interested in Chinese Buddhist studiesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
