Book Description
Excerpt from Brief Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Language The series of articles put together in this Handbook were originally published in the Chinese Recorder. They were carefully read and studied by the Committee on the Training of Missionaries appointed in 1914 by the China Continuation Committee and some modifications have been made at the suggestion of various members of that Committee. The members of this Committee recommend these articles to the missionary body, and especially to those in charge of Language Schools, for the use ofi missionaries entering upon their special course of preparation for work in China. This series of articles will make an excellent intro duction to the study of the Chinese language. While the lack of facilities for carrying out the suggestions in this Handbook will render it less useful to those studying independently than to those able to attend a Language School, yet the Committee would recommend the Hand book to the attention also of those unable to study in an organized school. Signed for the members of the Special Committee on the Training of Missionaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
As the second volume of a multivolume set on Chinese phonetics, this book examines the phonetical systems of Middle Chinese and phonetical changes from Old Chinese to Middle Chinese.

This volume studies the phonological system of Middle Chinese, including the initials system, finals system, and tonal system, examining the evolution of these systems from the period of Old Chinese to that of Middle Chinese. This comprehensive groundwork on Chinese phonetical history will be a must read for scholars and students studying Chinese language, linguistics and, especially, for beginning learners of Middle Chinese phonetics.

As the first volume of a multivolume set on Chinese phonetics, this book gives a full picture of the historical development of the Chinese language and studies the phonetics of the early form of Chinese, that is, Old Chinese. Chinese language history is generally split into three phases: (1) Old Chinese, the form of the Chinese language spoken between the 18th century BCE and the 3rd century CE; (2) Middle Chinese, between the 4th century CE to around the 12th century CE; and (3) Modern Chinese, since the 13th century. In this volume, the author first introduces basic issues in Chinese language study, including research objectives, methodology, existing scholarship, periodization, and the distinctive linguistic characteristics of each period. The core chapters then describe and analyze the phonetical systems of Old Chinese, covering the initials system and related eight aspects, two types of rhyme groups, ancient finals, and the tonal system. This comprehensive groundwork on Chinese phonetical history will be a must read for scholars and students studying Chinese language, linguistics and especially for those wishing to become acquainted with Old Chinese phonetics.
