Excerpt from The Chinese Language and How to Learn It: A Manual for Beginners
The issue of a second edition of this volume has afforded the writer an opportunity of making certain alterations which it is hoped will add to the utility of the work and secure continuity between this and the second volume of the Course which was issued in 1909.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of the Chinese language, both spoken and written, as it existed in the early 20th century. The author explores the fascinating history of Chinese writing, tracing its origins from pictorial representations to the complex system of characters used today. The book examines the evolution of six distinct styles of written Chinese, including the Seal character, the Li Shu, and the running hand, revealing how each style reflects a specific historical and social context. Beyond the written language, the author examines the equally intricate world of spoken Chinese, exploring its various dialects and the significance of intonation in pronunciation. He highlights the challenges faced by foreign learners in mastering these nuances, comparing the acquisition of spoken Chinese to the acquisition of European languages like French or German. The book also delves into the unique relationship between spoken and written Chinese, underscoring how the former employs redundancy to ensure intelligibility while the latter prioritizes conciseness. Ultimately, this insightful exploration reveals the rich history and enduring power of the Chinese language, challenging common perceptions and offering a deeper understanding of its multifaceted nature.
