Abstract:
Abstract There are nearly 20 words with Middle Chinese onsets s- or sr- whose reflexes in modern Southeastern Sinitic (Mǐn, Southern Wú, Hakka, and Gàn) are aspirated affricates. Examples of such words include sī 撕 ‘to tear,’ sù 粟 ‘grain,’ xiān 鮮 ‘fresh,’ and xīng 星 ‘star.’ This paper reveals that there are at least four origins for these correspondence sets, three of which can be connected with Old Chinese. The remaining is a self-innovation of the ancestor of the Southeastern Sinitic group. In this sense, the reflexes of modern Southeastern Sinitic can be taken as an important additional mat

Abstract This article discusses 40 grammatical features in Japonic and Koreanic in relation to their neighbouring languages in Northeast Asia. The data comprise 66 modern language varieties of 13 different linguistic affinities, and 12 historical languages (including Old and Middle Japanese and Old and Middle Korean). The results generated from a computational phylogenetic tool show a significant distance in the typological profiles of three main clades: Northeast Asian, Japonic-Koreanic, and Sinitic spheres. Typologically, the Japonic and Koreanic languages form a common grammatical type by s

Abstract:
South China (SC) was a region with mixed rice–millet farming during the Middle Neolithic period and was also suggested to be the homeland of Tai-Kadai (TK)-speaking people. However, the formations of inland TK-speaking people and southwestern Hans are far from clear due to very few studies on this subject. Here, we reveal the spatiotemporally demographic history of SC by analyzing newly-generated genome-wide SNP data of 115 modern southwestern individuals and find that inland TK-speaking Dongs and Bouyeis have a close genomic affinity to coastal TK/Austronesian (AN)-speaking people and N

Abstract:
Abstract The political importance of the Southern Man peoples (Nan Man 南蠻) and the process of their integration into the Sinitic empire are usually dated back to the Early Medieval period. However, the past thirty years have witnessed numerous excavations of sites containing manuscripts in the Middle Yangtze area, more specifically in Zhangjiashan, Zoumalou, and recently in Hujia caochang. These documents reveal a more complex picture of the Man and attest to their presence and importance as early as the Western Han, and most certainly earlier. The aim of this article is to identify the Man’s

Abstract:
Abstract This study sets out several phonological features in Caijia that are notable from a diachronic point of view. The Caijia language is an endangered language spoken in northwestern Guìzhōu, China. It was first formally documented in the early 1980s and is generally viewed as a Sinitic language. Some aspects of Caijia phonology are noteworthy from the perspective of historical phonology. There exist features which cannot be accounted for in terms of Middle Chinese (MC), such as the retention of the contrast between Old Chinese (OC) T-type and L-type onsets in words with d- or dr- in Midd

Abstract:
Abstract This paper focuses on the origin of a polyfunctional morpheme ti42 in Tunxi Hui Chinese, a little-studied Hui Sinitic language with about 140,000 speakers in Tunxi, Anhui Province of China. This versatile morpheme represents a radical syncretism of nine disparate functions, including that between the lexical verb give and the allative, locative, and temporal marking, which is seldom reported in the literature. By first-hand synchronic data and the historical comparative method, we propose that ti42 originated as a send-type verb *diai6 ‘pass’ in Middle Chinese, which has extended to a

Abstract:
Ge Hong 葛洪 (283-343/364), courtesy name Zhichuan 稚川, sometimes known by his sobriquet Baopuzi 包朴子 (the Master who Embraces Simplicity), was a scholar who lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420). Considered a prodigious writer, many texts both extant and lost are attributed to him. Amongst these, a number are concerned with matters pertaining to the extrahuman and the supernatural such as the eponymous Baopuzi 包朴子, the hagiographic Shenxian zhuan 神仙傳 and the pharmacological Zhouhou beiji fang 肘後備急方. The importance of these texts as references for later scholars has meant Ge Hong has been

The founding patriarch, Zhou Taigu 周太谷 (c. 1762–c. 1832, aka Zhou Gu 周穀, Zhou Xingyuan 周星垣, Kongtongzi 空同子/崆峒子, etc.), was from the Anhui province but mainly preached in Yangzhou of the Jiangnan region.

Abstract:
The Baoxun 保訓 ("The Cherished Instruction") is an excavated text of eleven bamboo strips that is part of the collection of such texts purchased by Tsinghua in 2008. As with other such collections, their provenance is unknown. The text is notable because its content and self-identification as a xun 訓 "instruction," associate it with the Shangshu 尚書 or "Book of Documents" (for more, see the entry on the Shangshu by Maddalena Poli). Despite the fact that xun is one of the six types of documents in the Shangshu, the Baoxun has no counterpart in the Shangshu or the received tradition more broadly.

Abstract:
The Rongchengshi 容成氏 is a bamboo text of fifty-three strips, making it one of the longest Chu-script manuscripts yet discovered. Unfortunately, some of the strips are damaged and at least one strip is missing from both the beginning and end of the manuscript. While it has some parallels with the received tradition, the text has no exact counterpart and was thus previously unknown to scholars before its discovery. It was part of a collection of such texts purchased by the Shanghai Museum in three batches in Hong Kong in 1993. The texts were looted from a tomb by grave robbers and their exact pr

Full text
Abstract:
The modal dé 得 is one of the modal verbs of possibility in Late Archaic Chinese (LAC) and Early Middle Chinese (EMC). Different from other modals verbs of possibility, which are confined to preverbal position, dé 得 ‘obtain, get, manage to, can’ occurs in two different positions in Modern Chinese and other Sinitic languages: preverbal and postverbal. This chapter argues that the two different functions of de in modern Sinitic languages reflect two syntactic instantiations of de in LAC and EMC. The preverbal modal auxiliary developed from the modal auxiliary verb dé ‘manage to, can’, which only allows a vP complement, and the postverbal de developed from the lexical verb dé ‘get, obtain’, which allows a CP complement.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the most salient features of the morphology and lexicon of Sinitic languages, both in a diachronic and in a synchronic perspective. It first discusses the application of the notions of ‘morpheme’, ‘root’, and ‘word’ to Chinese. It then moves to an overview of word formation in Old and Middle Chinese, showing that Chinese has always had morphology, despite the fact that it is often used as the prototypical example of the isolating language type. It then offers an extensive presentation of the major morphological phenomena of modern Sinitic languages. The last part of the chapter is devoted to the Chinese lexicon, with a discussion of foreign words, recent trends in word formation, and lexical differences among Sinitic languages.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the phonology of Sinitic languages, both in a diachronic and in a synchronic perspective. It first proposes an overview of the peculiar methodology for the reconstruction of earlier historical stages of Chinese, followed by a short presentation of the salient phonological features of Old Chinese, Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. It then discusses some general issues concerning Sinitic phonology, including the relevance of syllables and the representation of tones, and presents the phonology of Modern Standard Chinese and of each dialect group. Specifically, it provides a more extensive presentation of the national standard, while for dialects it is limited to a discussion of the most relevant features which characterize each group (and major subgroups).
