Abstract:

It is common to see various Chinese translations of a single English word/phrase in practice. Etymological tracing attempts to diachronically study the origin and its historical successive changes in both form and meaning of a given word/phrase, the purpose of which is acquisition of a comprehensive understanding of its core information. Sememe analysis is atomization of semantic components and deep semantic structure of both source language and target language to examine the semantic proximity and possible affinity between the two. This paper takes “stakeholder” and its Chinese translations a

Abstract:

The study was an attempt to investigate the effect of animated etymology on English speakers' learning of Chinese characters. Twenty-one Chinese language beginners at an Australian university were randomly assigned into three groups using three different types of instructional materials to learn Chinese characters: a) paper-based plain text material with only English meanings; b) paper-based material with English meanings, pictures and static etymological information; and c) CALL material with English meanings, pictures and animated etymological information. The effects of three materials were

Abstract:

The article examines the history of the study of special linguistic units of the Chinese language -phraseological units. From the point of view of the intensity and features of the study of phraseological units in different periods, three stages can be distinguished: initial, developing and developed. Knowledge of the history of the study of phraseological units of the Chinese language helps Sinologists and foreign students to understand better these linguistic elements, their etymology, semantics and application, and thereby the national and cultural characteristics of China reflected in phra

Abstract:

English vocabulary has expanded over centuries by ‘borrowing’ lexical items from other languages (Katamba, 2005; Durkin, 2014). Compared with European languages, non-European languages are never major sources of word borrowing in English, with Chinese staying even more peripheral. Scholars have recorded no more than a few hundred English words of Chinese origin. This, however, does not make it easier to study the etymology and semantics of Chinese loanwords. The complication arises from the various source dialects from which Chinese words were borrowed (Mandarin, Cantonese, Amoy, Hokkien, etc.

Abstract:

Abstract Whereas Western scholars have been studying polylexical sequences in European languages for a long time, we cannot but recognise that the investigation into Chinese phrasemes, on the other hand, still needs further development: research on idioms is limited to compiling glossaries and adopts an approach more prescriptive than descriptive, while explanations in specialised dictionaries merely give paraphrase meanings, etymology and very few usage examples.

Abstract:

The author of this paper argues that ancient Chinese thinkers practiced an alternative logic that is significantly different from Aristotelian logic. The paper has two objectives: 1) to clarify what Chinese logic looks like; 2) to re-evaluate the wisdom in classic texts with a clear understanding of Chinese logic. The author uses two major approaches in her reasoning: an etymological approach and logic of sets. An etymological study shows that Chinese pictographic characters were created according to sets - the collections of characters. The author examines how Chinese pictographic language sh

Abstract This brief note proposes a new Proto-Sino-Tibetan etymon for FIELD-DIKE, the dike between irrigated paddy fields, and provides an etymology relating Chinese and Lahu forms. It also discusses related etymologies with similar rhymes in Lahu and their reflexes in Burmese. There is also a postscript on the Written Burmese rhyme -añ.

Abstract:

Abstract Resemblance between languages could be due to relatedness in terms of etymology. Varieties of the same language or dialects resemble one another in many ways because they are related. The languages within a language family, descendants of a common ancestral language, also resemble one another in some ways. To contemplate resemblance between two languages, one could consider their mutual intelligibility or other kinds of formal similarities. For example, while the Chinese languages are not mutually intelligible, they exhibit very similar grammatical patterns. They are all tonal and sha

Abstract:

There are several signs with «diplomatic» semantics among the 540 most ancient radicals of the Chinese writing, presented in the dictionary “Shuo wen jie zi” (1st century AD, Han era). Before the dictionary was created, Chinese writing had already existed for several thousand years; therefore some researchers (Zou Xiaoli, 2007; Oshanin, 1943) consider that the etymologies of the radicals in “Shuo wen” were formulated under the influence of the later eras and are often erroneous. The attempts are made to verify the etymologies of these signs with “diplomatic” semantics by comparing them with th

Abstract:

The Ket word for the traditional boat and the Kott name of the small sledge can be understood as ‘child boat’ and ‘daughter sledge’, respectively. Sergey Starostin in his etymological dictionary treats the first elements of these compounds as unclear and possible as an outcome of the folk etymology. However, parallels in many genetically unrelated languages of Eurasia (Chinese, Burman, Khmer, Malay, Shugnan, Sarykol, Komi etc.) may indicate that in Yenisseyan languages we find a previously undescribed way of expressing diminutivity, which goes back to the archaical anthropomorphisation of the world.

Abstract:

This contribution focuses on the synchronic description and etymology of the Written Manchu word nofi ‘person (used after numbers higher than one)’. We conclude that nofi continues an analytic construction expressing collective numbers plus a converb and therefore historically should be better seen as a derivational suffix rather than as an autonomous lexical word, in spite of its synchronic status as measure word (numeral classifier) which is a result of Chinese influence.
