Where Chao went wrong in matters of language
Martin Joos once said: “In matters of language, Chao never goes wrong,” or words to that effect. I certainly appreciate this great compliment, but in many ways which Martin has not noticed, I did go wrong quite a number of times in matters of language. It goes without saying that in my pre-adult speech, which was of course way back in the pre-Martin Joos days, there were a number of things in which I deviated from the speech of my environment. In…

The Changchow Dialect
Changchow dialect is one of the Wu dialects, which have three grades of consonants: voiceless unaspirated, voiceless aspirated, and voiced aspirated. Wu is spoken in southeastern Kiangsu and most of Chekiang, Changchow being just within the western isogloss dividing Wu from Southern Mandarin. Some Changchow finals are nasalized vowels: i, a, and 0, some end in -ng, but none ends in -n. There are seven tones, four upper and three lower. As in the …

Dimensions of Fidelity in Translation With Special Reference to Chinese
i HERE are and Whenever a sentence of this type is heard by Bertrand Russell, he will almost invariably remark dryly: Then there must be at least four translations. Now how would you translate the sentence There are and translations into a language that has no distinction between the singular and plural forms of nouns, or for that matter into a language that has a dual number in addition to singular and plural forms? The answer is, you cannot. If…

Contrastive Aspects of the Wu Dialects
The Wu dialects of China are a group of dialects spoken in the southeastern part of Kiangsu province and in most of the province of Chekiang. The most characteristic feature of these dialects is the tripartite division of initial stops into voiceless unaspirated, voiceless aspirated, and voiced aspirated, a feature which constitutes a defining differentia of Wu. Within Wu, the voiced initials of Chekiang are more fully voiced than in Kiangsu, and…

What Is Correct Chinese
To ERR IS HIJ; to correct is worse. For the trouble with men, to paraphrase Mencius a little, is that they like to correct others.l But the urge to be correct and to correct others is incorrigible. There has always been a quest for and the upholding of a norm in such a basic human institution as language. You are all familiar with (:onfucius' dictum about the importance of the rectification of names 2 and about Mencius' interest in the technique …
A Note on Chinese Scales and Modes
The main point of this note is the observation that modern Chinese folk music is in a key with one sharp more than it sounds. Most tunes of this category are pentatonic and from the point of view of Occidental music their tonality is suggested by the manner in which the melody gravitates towards, or gathers around, a certain note or notes, rather than being defined unambiguously by the occurrence of all notes of the heptatonic scale. Take, for in…
Chinese Terms of Address
Under the general heading terms of address I propose to describe (1) vocatives , or terms of direct address to call persons by, and (2) designatives , or mentioning terms, which one uses as part of connected discourse in speaking of persons. In the order of approximately increasing complexity, I shall discuss pronouns, proper names, titles, and kinship terms. The scope of the present account will include only current usage in colloquial Mandarin.…
Notes on Chinese Grammar and Logic
THIS PAPER IS not concerned with Chinese logic as a part of technical Chinese philosophy, but, rather, with the ways in which some elementary logical notions find expression in the Chinese language. Therefore, I shall not touch upon the numerous paradoxes found in the Canon of the Way and Virtue (Tao-td Ching) of Lao Tzii, or such questions as to whether the whiteness of a white horse is the same as the whiteness of white

Popular Chinese Plant Words a Descriptive Lexico-Grammatical Study
The present study is primarily a description of the everyday Chinese words which the writer uses in connection with plant life and which he believes to be representative of Standard Mandarin. No attempt has been made to contribute to new identification of Chinese plants, though note will be taken of cases of conflicting authorities. The words covered include not only specific plant names such as ‘rose’ and ‘pine’, but also such general words as ‘…

Languages and Dialects in China
THE accompanying Linguistic Map of China, based upon the (small) Shun Pao Map of China, revised edition, 1934, gives an idea of the dis? tribution of languages and dialects in China. So far as areas are concerned it looks as if nearly half of China were non-Chinese speaking. Since however the population of China is concentrated in China proper, actually only about 5 per cent. of the people speak non-Chinese languages. Within China proper the dial…

The Logical Structure of Chinese Words
In the analysis of complexes into elements, there is always the twofold problem of the size of units on the one hand and the identity of units on the other. In analyzing speech sounds, for example, one can ask how large a phoneme is and whether sounds can profitably be analyzed longitudinally into simultaneous components, or, on the other hand, what different sounds (allophones) can be grouped together as members of one and the same phoneme. Simi…
