Book excerpt: A STUDY OF THE SADU LANGUAGE provides linguists with intriguing data conducive to interlingual comparisons and particularly, to the study of Generative Linguistics that aims to discover Universal Grammar and Language Faculty of human kind. It offers readers a glimpse of China’s research in the field of ethnic minority languages and does good to linguistic exchanges between China and other countries. The Sadu language is a newly discovered yet seriously endangered one spoken by an ethnic group in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province. It has a small number of 1505 speakers who claim themselves to be Sadu though officially the group is taken as part of the Bai people. It differs not only from Bai, however, but also from the southern dialects of the Yiish branch spoken by the neighboring communities, such as Nisu, Nasu, and Shansu.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A STUDY OF THE HLERSU LANGUAGE makes an ontological study of Hlersu, focusing on its phonology, lexicology, and syntax with a brief introduction to the history and customs of the people. This book, as the first monograph that manages an exhaustive record and thorough analysis of the Daxishan vernacular, does something pioneering to expand the research limits of Yiish languages that stand as the bulk in the Tibetan-Burmese Family among the Sino-Tibetan Phylum. This book provides linguists with valuable data conducive to interlingual comparisons and particularly, to the study of Generative Linguistics that aims to discover Universal Grammar and Language Faculty. It also presents the readers with a glimpse of research proceedings done by Chinese linguists in the field of ethnic minority languages and, therefore, does good for exchanges of linguistic research between China and other countries. The Hlersu people, as a significant branch of the Yi ethnic minority, choose to live in alpine districts at elevations more 2,000 meters in Yunnan Province, primarily in the middle counties such as Xinping, Yuanjiang, E’shan, Shuangbai, and Shiping. Its population witnesses an increase to 15,737, according to a 2010 investigation by Professor Xu Xianming, the second author of the original Chinese work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A STUDY OF THE CUOSUO LANGUAGE provides linguists with valuable data conducive to interlingual comparisons and particularly, to the study of Generative Linguistics that aims to discover Universal Grammar and Language Faculty of human beings. Meanwhile it offers the target readers a glimpse of research done by Chinese linguists in the field of ethnic minority languages and, therefore, does good to linguistic exchanges between China and other countries. The Cuosuo Language is a newly discovered cross-border language yet seriously endangered one spoken by a small community of 549 speakers (2014) who call themselves “Cuosuo”. Making a life by doing farming work with slash-and-burn, this group migrated to and fro a few years back in the tropical jungle areas close to the China-Laos borderline. The Cuosuo people in China live collectively in Mangang Village, Mengla County, Yunnan Province while those in Laos live in Bannanli and Banshalue villages in Wude County, Phongsaly Province. In China they were regarded as “an unidentified minzu subgroup” before 2004 when they were allowed to join either the Hani or Bulang due to linguistic and cultural similarities they share with these two officially identified groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with how to ask questions in the languages of China. The syntactic, morphological, and lexical forms for distinguishing interrogatives take centre stage; intonation is also dealt with, but more peripherally than question particles, disjunctive and negative constructions, and word order. 140 languages spoken in China are covered coming from four major families: Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic, accompanied by a few mixed languages. The approach is areal-typological, i.e. these focal languages are compared to the languages of the world as represented in typological samples, and within China areal patterns of the structural variables are examined. The book will be an indispensable reference for future work on interrogatives in a typological context and for areal studies of the language situation in China and more generally East Asia.

This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the formation of Saudi female artistic identity within the context of religious and social values and customs. It proposes a theory about the uniqueness of this identity in terms of how Saudi female artists push the boundaries of creativity in a conservative culture. The book explores the influence of two main factors: Islamic doctrines and sociocultural norms. It examines how these factors relate to the temporal and spatial limitations placed on artists. From a faith-based perspective, it analyses the ambivalent relationship between some Muslim scholars’ thoughts and the concept of creativity, and how this ambivalence can be overcome. The book also examines the intellectual and cultural factors that have shaped Saudis’ collective mindset about the arts, incorporating significant events in Saudi history and their impact on artistic practice. If you have questions about what factors shape female Saudi artistic identity or how these artists are challenging norms of representation, this book helps uncover the answers.

The reasons behind the establishment of this Series on Arabic linguistics are manifold. First: Arabic linguistics is developing into an increasingly interesting and important subject within the broad field of modern linguistic studies. The subject is now fully recognised in the Universities of the Arabic speaking world and in international linguistic circles, as a subject of great theoretical and descriptive interest and importance. Second: Arabic linguistics is reaching a mature stage in its development benefiting both from early Arabic linguistic scholarship and modern techniques of general linguistics and related disciplines. Third: The scope of this discipline is wide and varied, covering diverse areas such as Arabic phonetics, phonology and grammar, Arabic psycholinguistics, Arabic dialectology, Arabic lexicography and lexicology, Arabic sociolinguistics, the teaching and learning of Arabic as a first, second, or foreign language, communications, semiotics, terminology, translation, machine translation, Arabic computational linguistics, history of Arabic linguistics, etc. This is monograph 6 in the series.

This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for, and rapid development in, the learning and teaching of Asian languages as a foreign language throughout the world. Many governments recognize that Asian languages are of strategic economic importance, and thus they are now offered as a foreign language by a great number of schools and higher education institutions. This book contains chapters written by different authors from several countries on key issues and problems in the teaching of the Chinese, Russian, Farsi, Japanese and Malaysian languages, and some comparative studies. The contributors here explore future directions in the teaching of Asian languages in the 21st century. The ten chapters of the book have been prepared by the authors using the scholarly papers they presented at the Second International Symposium on Asian Languages and Literatures (ADES), which was held on 3–4 May 2012 at Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey, under the title of “Teaching of Asian Languages in the 21st Century”.

Bringing together contributions from a team of internationally renowned experts, this Handbook provides a state-of-the-art overview of this emerging area of study from a number of different perspectives, ranging from theoretical linguistics to language education and pedagogy. Presenting comprehensive data on heritage languages from around the world, it covers issues ranging from individual aspects of heritage language knowledge to broader societal, educational, and policy concerns in local, global and international contexts. Surveying the most current issues and trends in this exciting field, it is essential reading for graduate students and researchers, as well as language practitioners and other language professionals.
