Abstract:

This research focuses on the historical study of the third person pronouns ta 
and tamen in the past 100 years' history of Modern Written Chinese. Since 
the replacement of wenyan (classical literary Chinese) by baihua (written 
vernacular Chinese) as the basis of Modern Written Chinese after the May 
Fourth Movement in 1919, it has been widely claimed that Modern Written 
Chinese has undergone enormous changes, and that a major influence of 
such changes has been foreign languages. The evolution of the generic ta () 
into the masculine ta () and tamen (), the feminine ta () and tamen (), and the 
neuter ta (/) and tamen (/), is recognized to be due to a process of 
Europeanization of the Chinese language through translation. 

The primary goal of this study is to establish the development of the third 
person pronouns ta and tamen from the beginning of the 20th century up to 
the present. The second goal is to examine the role of 'Europeanization' in 
these changes to the pronouns and the general development of Modern 
Chinese. Three periods from the beginning and middle of the 20th century 
(1904-1919, 1952-1953), and the beginning of 21st century (2002-2003) are 
selected for examination. Changes to the anaphoric pronouns in three 
grammatical areas, namely gender, number and syntactic function, are 
investigated based on the indigenous Chinese text and the translated 
Chinese text, of which the latter represents the Europeanized influence. This 
analysis is also indicative of the general trend in foreign influence on the 
Chinese language over the past 100 years. 

Contents: Europeanization - Modern Written Chinese - Third Person Pronouns 
- Translation.
