Abstract:
Introduction to Chinese Dialectology intends to give a comprehensive
account of the studies on Chinese dialects tracing from the first Chinese
dialect study of Yang Xiong's Fangyan "Dialect" to present works, covering
mainly phonological and lexical features.
It investigates the dialect research from historical and theoretical
linguistic perspectives. Topics include: the classification of Chinese
dialects, dialect studies in different periods, the criteria for the
dialect classification as proposed by different scholars, discussions on
the Chinese dialectology from philological, descriptive, generative and
computational quantifying approaches, and the contributions of Chinese
dialectology to the general linguistic theories. The main text devotes to
the description of the major phonological characteristics and distributions
of the major dialects, supplemented by fourteen sketch dialect maps and
over one hundred tables of dialect data for easier reading and comparisons.
Each chapter is supported by exercises, which basically is in the form of
contrastive and comparative linguistic analysis nature.
