brief intro of chinese learning
Chinese, also known as "Han Yu" and "Zhong Wen", includes Mandarin, Cantonese, and other dialects. Mandarin, or "Putonghua", is the standard Chinese dialect. Cantonese is spoken in Guangdong province and Hong Kong. Chinese characters originated from pictures and directly convey concepts. While simplified characters are used in mainland China, traditional characters are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and overseas Chinese communities. One written system and measurement system were established over 2000 years ago helping the language and culture survive despite different spoken dialects. Pinyin is the system used to transcribe Chinese sounds, composed of initials, finals, and tones. Learning Chinese tones can be difficult while

Linguistic Diversity and Language Revitalization in Tibet
This document discusses the linguistic diversity and revitalization efforts in Tibet. It notes that Tibet has a complex linguistic ecology, with Putonghua, Tibetan varieties, and many minority languages. However, the promotion of Putonghua threatens these other languages. While Tibetan revitalization efforts have increased the status and role of the Tibetan language, they may be devitalizing local Tibetan varieties and minority languages. The dynamics of revitalization and devitalization are complex. Unrecognized minority languages face the highest risks and lowest chances of revitalization.
19th century linguistics
This document discusses the history of diachronic linguistics in the 19th century. It explores how early linguists viewed languages through a historical lens and were influenced by mechanistic physics and biological evolution theories. Two influential paradigms emerged: the family tree theory proposing languages evolve in a branching pattern, and the wave theory arguing innovations spread between languages. The document also describes how languages were classified based on their treatment of meaning units in words.

Chinese language important ripon_sikder
The document discusses the Chinese language. It provides background on Chinese, noting that it has a history of thousands of years and is spoken by more people than any other language. It then discusses the origins and development of written Chinese characters, including the four main principles of character construction: pictographs, ideographs, logical aggregates, and phonetic complexes. The document encourages learning Chinese, stating reasons such as learning about Chinese history and culture, making friends with different cultures, benefits for business, ease of learning, improving artistic skills, and being able to communicate while traveling.
Nineteenth century and after
The document discusses the major influences on the English language from the 19th century onwards. It notes that during this period:
- The industrial revolution transformed Britain and led to rapid urbanization, changing social structures.
- Scientific and technological advances introduced many new terms related to medicine, electricity, automobiles, movies, radios, and wars. New words were also borrowed from other languages.
- Events like cheap newspapers and postage in the 1800s increased opportunities for sharing information and influenced language.
- The Oxford English Dictionary was a monumental work in the late 1800s that systematically documented the English language.
- English became an international language used widely around the world in the 20th century.
Historical linguistics
Historical linguistics started in the late 18th century as a comparative field that studied how languages such as Sanskrit, English, and German were related through analyzing common roots and cognates in their vocabulary. The document also notes that English can be divided into four periods - Old, Middle Age, Early Modern, and Modern - and that historical periodization is an important part of understanding the development of a language like English, which is now a global language.
Language history and change
Linguists in the 19th century proposed the existence of a Proto-Indo-European language from which many modern European languages descended. Comparative reconstruction analyzes cognates (similar words) across languages to find commonalities and determine relationships to ancestral languages. English language history spans Old English (5th-11th centuries CE), influenced by Germanic invasions, Middle English (11th-15th centuries CE), influenced by French following the Norman invasion, and Modern English (15th century CE-present), which underwent phonological and syntactic changes. Languages evolve gradually over long periods through borrowing, new word creation, meaning changes, and other processes.
Chinese language
Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used writing system in the world. They are logograms used in Chinese and other Asian languages. Chinese is now one of the six official languages of the United Nations and has earned greater status worldwide, despite not being the only language spoken in China. Learning Chinese provides opportunities for business, travel, and cultural enrichment as it allows you to communicate with many in China and Taiwan.
Sanskrit
Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages still in existence and originated in India. It was the language of religious texts and ceremonies from as early as 2000 BC. While Sanskrit declined as a spoken language in India after the 1st millennium BC, it remained an important language for religion and literature. Sanskrit was written in various scripts depending on the region but did not have a standardized script until the 19th century. It continues to be used predominantly for religious purposes today.
Over View of the 19th century History of linguistics
This document provides an overview of linguistics in the 19th century. It discusses key topics and theorists from that period that were important to the development of modern linguistics. Some of the topics covered include the emergence of diachronic and synchronic linguistics, the work of Jacob Grimm and Thomas Kuhn, Darwin's theory of evolution, and August Schleicher's reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European language. The document also examines how biology influenced the study of linguistics in the 19th century.
A timeline of the history of linguistics
The document provides a timeline of the history of linguistics from ancient Sumerians to modern generative grammar. Some key developments include Pānini's grammar of Sanskrit, Saussure's distinction between langue and parole, the structuralist tradition influenced by Saussure and Jakobson, Chomsky's generative grammar which transformed the field, and the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis about the relationship between language and thought. The timeline traces the evolution of linguistics from a focus on grammar and philology to modern approaches like structuralism and generative grammar.
Language families and branches
English belongs to the Indo-European language family and is part of the Germanic branch which also includes German and Dutch. The Celtic branch developed in parts of Europe including Ireland, Scotland and Wales where languages like Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh originated. Latin-based languages like Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese descended from Latin after the Roman Empire expanded across Europe.
Korean literature Group4 12-Modeller
Korean literature developed over thousands of years, originally being written in Chinese characters before the invention of Hangul in the 15th century. Some major traditional poetic forms of Korean literature include hyangga, pyolgok, changga, and sijo. Korea is now separated into two countries, North and South Korea, after being divided following World War 2 along ideological lines, with the North becoming communist under Russian influence and the South becoming democratic with American involvement.
Language history and change
1) In the late 18th century, Sir William Jones suggested that languages from different geographical areas may have a common ancestor, launching the field of linguistic investigation into language families.
2) The Proto-Indo-European language is reconstructed as the common ancestor of languages like Sanskrit, Latin, and Greek, based on comparative methods analyzing cognates across these languages.
3) English has undergone significant changes over time, from Old English (7th-11th century CE) to Middle English (1100-1500 CE) to Modern English (1500-present), with influences from Latin, French, and other languages introducing changes in vocabulary, sounds, syntax and other features.
Chinese Impacts On The Japanese Language
The document discusses how the Japanese language has been influenced by Chinese language and culture over time. It summarizes that Japanese adopted Chinese characters to represent their language, which led colloquial speech and written language to diverge. It also discusses how different literary traditions developed, including one called Sinico-Japanese that used Chinese syntax and characters to write Japanese, and another that was closer to contemporary colloquial speech. Finally, it notes that the Japanese writing system and vocabulary have continued to evolve with influences from Western languages in modern times.
History of translation in Indian Literature
Indian Literature has also translated in to many other languages. Here is a small introduction of the translation of Indian Literature in to English.
Language change
The document discusses language change from both diachronic and synchronic approaches. It describes incremental, decremental, and replacement changes in language over time. Examples are given of external and internal changes from Old English to Modern English in terms of phonological changes. The document also discusses the reconstruction of proto-languages and the comparative method used by historical linguists to establish genetic relationships between languages.
Structuralism
Well known linguists such as De Saussere, F. and Bloomfield, L. main representative theoretician of a school of language called Structuralism. De Saussere, F. belongs to the group of European linguistics who developed studies on the language field at the end of the 19th century and beginning of 20th century while Bloomfield, L. belongs to the group of the North American ones.
Modern linguistics
Modern linguistics emerged in the late 19th century with a shift from studying language changes over time to viewing each language as a structured system at a particular point in time. This formed the basis for structuralist linguistics. Key figures included Ferdinand de Saussure, who saw language as a system of arbitrary signs, and Henry Sweet and Baudouin de Courtenay, who focused on phonetics and phonology. In the 1920s, the Prague School was established with linguists like Trubetzkoy who developed phonological theory and placed emphasis on the phoneme, and Mathesius, Danes, and Firbas who studied the relationship between word order and discourse.
Historical linguistics 2
There are several types of language change that occur over time, including sound changes, morphological changes, and semantic changes. Sound changes involve changes in pronunciation and happen naturally as languages evolve, such as the Great Vowel Shift in English. Morphological changes include changes to word structure through processes like borrowing affixes from other languages or regularizing irregular forms through analogy. Semantic changes refer to changes in word meanings.

The renaissance, 1500–1650. By Manuel Gracia Baez
The document discusses the changes to the English language during the Renaissance period from the 14th to 17th centuries. It covers several key areas:
1) The introduction of many new words from Latin, Greek, and other European languages to enrich the vocabulary as English was used in more advanced fields. This led to some opposition over "inkhorn terms."
2) Debates around standardizing spelling and establishing rules of grammar as the language became more widely used. Factors like printing, education, and social conformity influenced this.
3) While some borrowed words were rejected, many became permanent additions and influenced the development of English. Native words were also revived or derived from roots.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als)
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It causes the motor neurons to gradually degenerate and die, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. Over time, this leads to increasing paralysis as more motor neurons are damaged. While the exact causes are unknown, excitotoxicity from glutamate and mutations in genes like SOD1 are thought to be involved in the neurodegeneration. The main treatment is riluzole, which extends life by a few months. Other therapies focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function and quality of life for as long as possible. Regular dental care is important for oral health and to reduce risks of pneumonia. Adaptations may be needed to accommodate physical

Mandarin Analysis
Chinese is spoken by one-fifth of the world and uses characters that have changed little in 5000 years. The writing system includes characters that provide meaning and pronunciation clues. Mandarin is tonal and has varieties of dialects. Grammar lacks conjugation but uses particles and word order. Chinese culture has been influenced by Confucianism and the Cultural Revolution disrupted traditional society.
Origin of writing in korea
- Chinese writing was introduced to Korea over 2,000 years ago and was widely used when China occupied northern Korea from 108 BC to 313 AD.
- By the 5th century, Koreans started writing using Chinese characters and later developed three systems combining Chinese characters with native Korean words and symbols.
- In 1446, King Sejong invented the Korean alphabet known as Hangeul to provide a simple writing system for the common people, though Chinese characters remained dominant for some time.
pdfcoffee.com_a-guide-to-korean-characters-hanja-pdf-free.pdf
This document provides an overview of the Korean writing system and Chinese characters (hanja) used in Korean. It discusses the Korean alphabet hangul, invented in 1446, and the 1,800 basic Chinese characters taught in Korean schools. Chinese characters are classified into six categories based on how they were created or acquired meaning. Pictographs depict objects, diagrams show relationships, and compounds combine existing characters or a semantic and phonetic element. Learning strategies are suggested for each category. The document serves as an introduction to reading and writing both hangul and hanja in Korean.
informative
Chinese characters originated from pictograms, simple ideograms, compound ideograms, and semantic-phonetic compounds. Pictograms depicted objects directly, while ideograms represented abstract concepts. Later characters combined existing characters to indicate meaning or sound. Over time, methods of recording language evolved from knotted ropes to carved inscriptions to the modern characters still used today. Chinese characters meet design requirements as a written language by being recognizable, reproducible, symbolic, and able to represent spoken language.

In this paper, we bring together the concepts put forth in our previous papers and throw new light on how the Indo-Europeanization of the world may have happened from the conventional Central Asian homeland and explain the same using maps and diagrams. We also propose the ‘Ten modes of linguistic transformations associated with Human migrations.’ With this, the significance of the proposed term ‘Base Indo-European’ in lieu of the old term ‘Proto Indo-European’ will become abundantly clear to most readers. The approaches presented in this paper are somewhat superior to existing approaches, and as such are expected to replace them in the longer run. Detailed maps and notes demonstrating and explaining how linguistic transformations might have taken place in South Asia are available in this paper as understood from our previous research papers, and scholars from other parts of the world are invited to develop similar paradigms with regard to their home countries as far as the available data or evidence will allow them. This will help piece together a gigantic jig-saw puzzle, and lead to a revolution of sorts in the field, leading to a ripple-effect that will strongly impact several other related fields of study as well. We also re-emphasize our epigrammatic catch-phrases ‘The Globalization of Science’ and ‘Scientific Progress at the Speed of Light’, and attempt to show how the former will inexorably lead to the latter. This is done in a respectable level of detail, as zany and theoretical concepts gain respectability only if corroborated with real-world data from across the world. The end-result will be a transformation and a revolution in human knowledge, with inevitable cascading changes in cultural and social paradigms and relationships across nationalities and cultures, and rich rewards for scholars and students of Indo-European studies across the world.
SUJAY The Indo-Europeanization of the world.pdf
This document discusses the Indo-Europeanization of the world from a Central Asian homeland based on new approaches and insights from the author's previous research publications. It proposes 10 modes of linguistic transformations associated with human migrations and suggests the term "Base Indo-European" instead of "Proto Indo-European." Detailed maps in the paper demonstrate how linguistic transformations may have occurred in South Asia. The paper aims to revolutionize the field of Indo-European studies by piecing together evidence from across the world.
Three Types Of Mandarin Kk New
1) There are three main types of Mandarin spoken - Mainland Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin, and Singaporean-Malaysian Mandarin. Mainland Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin differ by about 15%.
2) There are also two types of Cantonese spoken - Guangzhou Cantonese and Hong Kong Cantonese, which are very similar differing by less than 10%.
3) While Chinese is considered one of the most difficult languages to learn due to its writing system and tones, Mandarin may be easier for some like Japanese speakers who already use many Chinese characters in their own writing system.
About chinese language
The Chinese language has existed for over 6,000 years and is the oldest written language in the world. Chinese character inscriptions dating back to the Shang Dynasty between 1766-1123 BC prove the written language has been used for over 3,000 years. While modern Chinese (Mandarin) uses a simplified writing system compared to traditional characters, Chinese characters have heavily influenced other Asian languages such as Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Over 1.5 billion people around the world can speak Chinese, including native speakers in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Chinese language learners abroad.

HistoricalTimelinesofNoteworthyLinguists.pptx
This document outlines the history and development of linguistics from ancient traditions through modern times. It traces the origins and evolution of linguistic study from early traditions in Babylon, India, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages in Europe, and colonialism. Major developments included Panini's work in India, the establishment of comparative linguistics by William Jones, and modern linguistics founded by Ferdinand de Saussure. Schools of thought then diversified with the Prague School, British Structuralism, and American Structuralism influencing the field. Generative grammar has remained influential along with technological advances that have facilitated linguistic research.

- Franz Boas is considered the father of American anthropology. He established anthropology as the study of human diversity and argued that cultural and linguistic differences must be explained in their historical context.
- Boas' work on Native American languages in the Handbook of American Indian Languages helped establish linguistics as a core part of anthropological research. It showed the diversity of American Indian languages and challenged views of their inferiority.
- Linguistic anthropology emerged to study language as both a structured code and a medium for social life. It brings attention to language use and variation within social and cultural contexts.

History of chinese writing
The Chinese writing system is one of the oldest in the world, dating back over 4,000 years. It uses logographic characters rather than an alphabet, with each character representing a word or concept. While the spoken languages in China like Mandarin and Cantonese have changed significantly over time, the written script has remained largely the same. There are four main periods of Chinese writing: oracle bone script from 1500-1000 BC, greater and lesser seal scripts from 1100-700 BC, and clerkly script which is the modern simplified system used today with around 6,000 commonly used characters.
Basic Introduction to Chinese Language
This document introduces learning Chinese and provides tips for memorizing Chinese words. It notes that over 1 billion people speak Chinese and that knowing Chinese will help with international business. It explains that Chinese words have characters, pronunciation using pinyin, and tones. Different character types like pictographs and semantic-phonetic compounds are described. While Chinese has many characters, becoming literate requires learning about 3,000 characters which could be done in under a year by learning 10 characters daily. Pinyin is also introduced as a romanization system to help with pronunciation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

If all of the world´s cultural heritage (sports, music, fashion, architecture, literature, painting, etc.) was contained in a time capsule, what would you include to demonstrate the legacy of your country? Chinese language – an incredible culture Sissi Lan, 08 July 2014
- 2. Page 2 Chinese (汉语 / 漢語; Hànyǔ or 中文; Zhōngwén) Mandarin: 847.8 million (70.9% of Chinese population)
- 3. Page 3 History and characters of Chinese language Chinese can be traced back over 3,000 years to the first written records, and even earlier to a hypothetical Sino-Tibetan proto-language. The language has evolved over time, with various local varieties becoming mutually unintelligible. In reaction, central governments have repeatedly sought to promulgate a unified standard. Each Chinese character represents a monosyllabic Chinese word or morpheme. In 100 CE, the famed Han dynasty scholar Xu Shen classified characters into six categories, namely pictographs, simple ideographs, compound ideographs, phonetic loans, phonetic compounds and derivative characters. Of these, only 4% were categorized as pictographs, including many of the simplest characters, such as rén 人 (human). Between 80% and 90% were classified as phonetic compounds such as chōng 沖 (pour), combining a phonetic component zhōng 中 (middle) with a semantic radical 氵 (water).
- 4. Page 4 Only Chinese follows through on this path all the way
- 5. Page 5 Writing The relationship between the Chinese spoken and written language is rather complex. Its spoken varieties evolved at different rates, while written Chinese itself has changed much less. Written records have been discovered as far back as the 14th to 11th centuries BCE Shang dynasty using the oracle bone scripts.
- 6. Page 6 Tones All varieties of spoken Chinese use tones. A few dialects of north China may have as few as three tones, while some dialects in south China have up to 6 or 10 tones, depending on how one counts. One exception from this is Shanghainese which has reduced the set of tones to a two-toned pitch accent system much like modern Japanese. A very common example used to illustrate the use of tones in Chinese are the four tones of Standard Chinese applied to the syllable ma. The tones are exemplified by the following four pictures: high level high rising low falling-rising high falling
