Description:
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2002. Le développement et l'adoption définitive de l'écriture romaine ('quoc ngu' ou 'langue nationale') pour représenter la langue parlée du Viet Nam eurent un impact conséquent sur l'évolution culturelle et intellectuelle du pays. En remplaçant une écriture ancienne fondée sur des idéogrammes de type chinois, le quoc ngu, gràce à son efficacité, contribua de manière importante à la modernisation du pays qui put ainsi atteindre un taux d'alphabétisation relativement élevé. Dans les cercles linguistiques, le développement du quoc ngu a longtemps été attribué en premier lieu à un missionnaire français installé au Viet Nam au XVIIème siècle, Alexandre de Rhodes. L'étude présente, cependant, démontre que l'oeuvre d'Alexandre…

Description:
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2002. The development and eventual official adoption of a Romanized script ('Quoc Ngu' or 'national language') to represent the spoken language of Vietnam has had enormous impact on that country's cultural and intellectual development. Replacing an older script based on Chinese style ideograms, the inherent efficiency of Quoc Ngu has been a major contributor to Vietnam's comparatively high literacy rate, and thus to the country's modernization.

The present study, however, demonstrates that de Rhodes' accomplishment was made possible by his building upon a foundation of the work of the Portuguese missionaries and linguists who preceded him. Drawing on previously unpublished 17th century works in Latin and contemporary correspondence in Portuguese, the author demonstrates the…
