Contrastive Linguistics: Historical & Philosophical Perspectives
PAN Wengguo & THAM Wai Mun

288pp

Contrastive Linguistics is the first book written by a linguist from mainland China on the histories and principles of comparing and contrasting Chinese and Western languages, specifically English. From Wilhelm von Humboldt's initial study in comparative linguistics to the present day, traditional scholarship in contrastive linguistics has taken a Western perspective and shown how foreign languages relate to the Indo-European language family. However, such a view has a limited scope, and there is an alternative history to contrastive linguistics. This book is an attempt by Professor Pan Wenguo to redress the balance in contrastive linguistics, comparing Western languages to Chinese, rather than vice versa. He provides a survey of contrastive linguistics in China throughtout the past century, and aims to open a window for the world to see what the new generations of Chinese linguists are doing in this exciting field, and to start a dialogue between scholars of different backgrounds and linguistic traditions. Contrastive Linguistics looks at the history of this discipline both in Europe and in China. Professor Pan presents a survey of the historical, philosophical and methodological foundations of the discipline, but also examines its scope in relation to general, comparative, anthropological and applied linguistics. This book will be of interest to academics interested in a new perspective on contrastive linguistics or Chinese linguistics. Professor Pan Wenguo is at East China Normal University. He has published widely on contrastive linguistics and translation studies including An Outline of Contrastive Study Between Chinese & English (2003).

Rendering The Regional: Local Language In Contemporary Chinese Media
GUNN Edward M.

230 x 155mm; 18 illustrations; 4 maps. 288pp

For centuries the sub-national languages of China have been a fundamental feature in daily life and popular culture, while a standardised form of Mandarin has been adopted as the language of the state (including education). Suppressed during powerful movements to establish a modern, national culture, these local languages or dialects have nevertheless survived, and their resurgence in the media and literature has caused tensions to surface. Acknowledging local language as authentic may also reveal cultural hegemonies within regions and contested versions of communities. This ground-breaking study surveys in detail the sweep of local languages in television, radio, film, and print culture of late 20th-century mainland China, especially Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Chengdu, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Focusing on these regions, the analysis contrasts and compares these distinct communities to each other and to the ways in which they mediate culture as a national institution. It draws on a wide range of critical, cultural, and media studies and explores how varied genres and media have sought to represent the tensions and assertions within these societies and how they construct the local in an age of globalisation. Impressively researched and fluidly narrated, Edward Gunn offers a balanced and thoroughly novel treatment of a vital, often controversial topic. Edward M. Gunn is professor of Chinese literature in the Department of Asian Studies, Cornell University. (For this item please quote stock ID 24896) ISBN: 9780824828837

This book is based on the authors’ experience of working as a Chinese language teacher in America for children (including pupils at kindergartens and primary schools). They designed 100 interesting classroom games in this book in an effort to combine "playing" with "studying", i.e. games with learning Chinese. All the games are sorted into five categories based on their language functions, 43 of them are for word practice, 13 for sentence pattern practice, 14 for Chinese character practice, 12 for listening comprehension and 18 for integrated exercises. These exercises can satisfy different teaching needs. The intuitive and lively illustration is provided in each game for the convenience of teachers. 26 kinds of expressions in given situations are provided in the appendix to introduce the commonest things that American kids are most familiar with.
