Synopsis
Excerpt from Chinese Phonology: An Attempt to Discover the Sounds of the Ancient Language and to Recover the Lost Rhymes of China
HE publication of this essay is mainly due to the encouragement of Mr. A. Von Rosthorn: during a discussion on the second series of rhyme-tables contained in the introduction of K'ang-hsi's Dictionary, I commu micated certain views which I had long held on an obscure point in those important tables. My opinions were considered by Mr. Von Rosthorn of sufficient import ance to induce me to undertake an exhaustive enquiry on the different dialects of China With the material industriously collected by Mr. Parker and inserted in Mr. Giles' Dictionary. The first results of my studies are contained in the following pages.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Chinese linguistics, specifically focusing on the reconstruction of the ancient pronunciation of Chinese characters. The author, an acclaimed scholar in the field, utilized various sources, including historical texts, phonetic systems, and modern dialects, to uncover the sounds of the ancient language. Drawing parallels with Sanscrit, the author meticulously analyzes the phonetic elements of Chinese dialects and compares them with the 24 Rhyme Tables compiled during the Song Dynasty.
