Chinese Tableware Chinese Cognitive Processing of Chinese and Related Asian Languages by Chen Hsuan-Chin, A dramatic increase in interest in Chinese culture and the Chinese language has been seen during recent years, not only in the research community but also among the general public. This developing of interest in Chinese is stimulated, at least in part, by the growing prominence of major Chinese societies (e.g., Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China) in international trade. Chinese is perhaps the most widely used language in the world. In addition to its popularity, many specific properties make it unique among currently used languages and scripts. For instance, unlike the alphabetic symbols common to Indo-European languages, the Chinese writing system is logographic in nature. The script speech relationship in Chinese is highly opaque, with the Chinese characters typically representing lexical morphemes in contrast to alphabetic symbols, which represent phonemes. Also, Chinese words can be formed by one or more characters and are not marked by additional spaces. In addition, Chinese words generally do not have inflections indicating such grammatical attributes as number, gender and case for nouns, or tense and aspect for verbs. Undoubtedly, knowledge about the Chinese language and its written form as well as how people process this specific language is indispensable to the general understanding of human language processing. This volume integrates the most recent research in the cognitive processing of Chinese and related Asian languages (i.e., Japanese and Korean) into a single academic reference. The volume provides a state-of-the-art review of recent findings and captures what is currently going on in a new and rapidly expanding field. Chen Hsuan-chih is Professor in the Department of Psychology, Chinese University of Hong Kong. Distributed by the University of Michigan Press in Canada and the United States and its dependencies.
Chinese American Literature Since the 1850s by Xiao-Huang Yin, Chinese American Literature since the 1850s traces the origins and development of the extensive and largely neglected body of literature written in English and in Chinese, assessing its themes and style and placing it in a broad social and historical context. This essential volume, a much-needed introduction and guide to the field, shows how change and continuity in the Chinese American experience are reflected in the writings of immigrants from China and their descendants in the United States. Using a fresh approach that combines literary and historical scholarship, Xiao-huang Yin covers representative works from the 1850s to the present. These include journalistic and autobiographical texts from nineteenth-century Chinese authors; writings on the walls of Angel Island, the main Asian immigrant arrival point on the West Coast; writings of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century "cultivated Chinese", students and scholars who came to America to advance their educations; and the work of more recent authors who have entered the canon, including Sui Sin Far, Jade Snow Wong, Frank Chin, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Amy Tan. As the only volume that covers the literature written by immigrant authors in the Chinese language, Xiao-huang Yin's book significantly enlarges the scope of Chinese and Asian American studies. This body of literature, including works by immigrant writers such as Chen Ruoxi, Yu Lihua, and Zhang Xiguo, reflects the high percentage of Chinese Americans for whom the Chinese language remains an integral part of everyday life. A core text for students and scholars of Asian American studies, Chinese American Literature since the 1850s is an important resource forliterary critics, historians, sociologists, and anthropologists interested in diaspora studies, transnationalism, cultural studies, race and ethnicity, and the immigrant experiences in which Chinese American literature is embedded.
Chinese school - In Western countries like the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK, a Chinese school is a school established explicitly for the purpose of teaching the Chinese language (of the various Chinese dialects, nowadays Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese Chinese is almost always the one taught) to American-born Chinese (ABC), Canadian-born Chinese (CBC) youth and the youth born in the respective countries. British Chinese - British Chinese, or, alternatively, Chinese British,Chinese Briton, British Born Chinese (abbreviated as BBCs) are overseas Chinese born or naturalised in the United Kingdom. Most of these Chinese are people from, or descended from people from, former British territories, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Middle Chinese - Middle Chinese (中古漢語, pinyin: zhōnggǔ Hànyǔ), or Ancient Chinese as used by linguist Bernhard Karlgren, refers to the Chinese language spoken during Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties (6th century - 10th century). The term "Middle Chinese" is usually used in the context of historical Chinese phonology, which seeks to reconstruct the pronunciation of Chinese used during these times. Chinese surname - A Chinese surname, family name ( or clan name 氏; shì), is one of the hundreds or thousands of family names that have been historically used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups in mainland China, Taiwan, and among ethnic Chinese in overseas Chinese communities. The colloquial expression "the hundred surnames" (百姓 bǎi xìng) is used in Chinese to mean "the people" or "commoners". chinesetableware
