The methodology used in reconstructing older stages of Chinese is tested and it is found that the entities reconstructed are not phonemes but features. These features are conceived as minimal functional units of the language, that is as glossemes in the Hjelmslevian sense. Many features of the Archaic Chinese (Chou dynasty) language carried a morphemic load. This typologically sets the Archaic language apart from the Ancient (Sui-Tang dynasties) language. Distinctive features which take direct part in the morphophonemic system we propose to call morpho-glossemes. It is suggested that proto-languages be written in a way that is as noncommittal as possible as to the order and clustering of features
