Description:
Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton, 2010. A detailed exploration of the phenomenon of dialects (in Chinese, 'fengyan' or 'regional speech') in China. While some 92% of the citizens of China speak some variation of Chinese as their native tongue and while most non-specialized outsiders view the language group as more or less monolithic, the author delves into the differences in dialects, sub-dialects, vernaculars and accents that often render one citizen's spoken 'Chinese' unintelligible to another. Text in English with frequent use of Chinese characters as required in the narrative. A fascinating study for language students and linguistics specialists alike. xx, 276 pp., notes, extensive bibliography, Chinese-English glossary of linguistic terms, indices of personal names and Chinese place names.. First Edition. Hard bound. New. 23 x 16 cm..
