Abstract:
Chinese, in its various forms, is spoken today by over a billion people,
making it the most spoken language in the world. A member of the Sino-Tibetan
family, it is a tone language with an analytic structure. First published in
1814, this grammar of colloquial Chinese was compiled by the Christian
missionary Joshua Marshman (1768–1837), who was inspired to do so after
preparing a Chinese translation of the Bible. It begins with a preliminary
essay outlining the characters of Chinese, its tones, its system of
monosyllables and its relationship to neighbouring languages. The grammar
itself is extensive, covering all aspects of the language's structure,
including case, agreement, pronouns, verbs, mood, tense, prosody, parts of
speech and dialect variation. Illustrated with numerous examples and
explaining each grammatical concept in detail, this work remains useful and
relevant in historical linguistics.
