Grammatik der Ponapesprache
 
Max Girschner
 
Die Ponapesprache gehört der Austronesischen Sprachgruppe an und hat Verwandtschaft mit den übrigen mikronesischen, insbesondere der auf den Zentralkarolinen verbreiteten Sprache; doch sind die Abweichungen so groß, dass die Bewohner von Truk und Ponape sich gegenseitig nicht verstehen. Der vorliegenden Arbeit ist der Dialekt von Kiti (im Süden gelegen) zugrunde gelegt, weil die Bevölkerung dieser Landschaft die zahlreichste ist.
 
Inhalt: Die Laute der Sprache. Die Betonung. Assimilation. Hauptwort. Wesens- und Gestaltbezeichnungen. Das Fürwort. Das Eigenschaftswort. Das Zahlwort. Das Verbum. Das Umstandswort.

Le dialecte de Sämnān.
Essai d’une Grammaire Sämnānīe avec un Vocabulaire et quelques Textes
 
Arthur Christensen
 
L’étude des dialectes est, pour la philologie iranienne, d’une importance particulière. Dans la langue persane, beaucoup de vocables iraniens ont disparu et ont été remplacés par des mots arabes, et notre connaissance des langues anciennes de l’Iran est, malgré tout ce que les recherches archéologiques des dernières années nous ont apporté de nouveau de l’Asie centrale, très fragmentaire. Les dialectes vivants doivent être mis à contribution pour combler les lacunes, dans la mesure du possible.
 
Un des dialectes iraniens qui ont été le moins examinés, est celui de la population de la ville de Sämnān, située à 200 kilomètres environ à l’est de Téhéran. Il est assez singulier, que ce dialecte, parlé à peu de distance de la capitale de la Perse, ait captivé si peut l’intérêt des savants européens : le sämnāni s’écarte tellement des autres dialectes de la Perse, que le les persans disent, qu’ils comprennent, sans les avoir étudiés, les autres dialectes de leur pays, comme le māzändärāanī, le gīlākī etc., mais quand les Sämnānīs parlent leur dialecte, ils n’en comprennent absolument rien (de la préface).

Topic Chains in Chinese
 
Wendan Li
University of North Carolina

Chinese is a discourse-oriented language. It has relatively few morphological and syntactic rules, but more constructions and strategies at the discourse level for the organization of text. The topic chain is such a structure at the discourse level in which clauses are linked not by conjunctions, but by coreferential relationships between overt topic noun phrases and unspecified noun phrases in adjacent clauses. Since the topic chain is used frequently in Chinese, the understanding of the structure is important to the understanding of the language. This book analyzes the structural characteristics of topic chains, their functions in discourse organization and their commonly occurring patterns.

It demonstrates how the patterns are used either individually or in combination to build up units of text at the discourse level. The analysis also has its practical application in second language teaching. It is shown in the second part of the book that the patterns of topic chains can be used as a transitional measure to lead students’ production from the clause to the discourse level. The study is an attempt to investigate how discourse patterns, structures and strategies can be effectively taught in second language classrooms to reflect the discourse-oriented nature of the Chinese language. It bridges the gap between linguistic analysis and language pedagogy.

A Dictionary of Slang among Chinese Youth
 
Yuntong Liu
International School of Tongji University
 
With the development of information technology, young people find more and more opportunities to express themselves in this world. For them language is not only a means to express themselves, but also a means to redefine the language and world around them. Tens of thousands of new words have been created by the present-day Chinese youth and have been circulating among themselves. This dictionary provides a lexical inventory of items used by the present-day Chinese young people. It describes some 1,000 items in a clear and simple way.
 
This dictionary is not a dictionary in the usual sense. It tries to give a brief explanation to slang words or phrases that young people frequently use. We try to explain in plain English, taking both native English speakers and ESL (English as Second Language) speakers as our readers.
 
This dictionary targets foreign students, journalists, and others interested in China and Chinese language and culture. To understand Chinese, it is better to understand its young people first. They are most active and courageous group within China and vividly present the changing thoughts and emotions in present China.

Chinese Historical Phonology
A Compendium of Beijing and Cantonese Pronunciations of Characters and their Derivations from Middle Chinese

John Newman & Anand V. Raman
Massey University; John Hopkins University
 
This volume is an explicit summary of the phonological histories of Beijing and Cantonese dialects, based on earlier accounts proposed by Matthew Chen and John Newman and which appeared in the Journal of Chinese Linguistics (1976, 1984/1985). Approximately 2,700 characters appear here with their Middle Chinese reconstructions (the 'Simplified Middle Chinese' reconstructions proposed by Chen) and arranged by their Middle Chinese rime, initial, and tone class. For each character, the complete derivations (as sequences of rule labels) from Middle Chinese to Beijing pronunciation and from Middle Chinese to Cantonese pronunciation are given, including indications of exceptional application or non-application of rules. A full statement of the regular phonological rules referred to in the derivations is provided. The meanings of the characters (in English) are also included. A Hanyu Pinyin-Middle Chinese index enables the reader to determine the Middle Chinese reconstruction from the Hanyu Pinyin representation. The detail of Beijing and Cantonese phonological histories is here made accessible to linguists outside the specialist field of Sinology. The material is explicit, comprehensive, and transparent in a way which will be appreciated by Sinologists and non-Sinologists alike.

Italian Pronunciation & Accents
Geo-social Applications of the Natural Phonetics & Tonetics Method
 
Luciano Canepari
Università cà Foscari di Venezia
 
This book applies the principles of Natural Phonetics & Tonetics to describe the pronunciation of Italian, including intonation, in a precise way never found in earlier treatises. It includes an introduction to the Natural Phonotonetics Method, which can be used for any other language, as well (without the sadly known limitations of official IPA).
 
The vowels, consonants, structures, and intonation of Italian are fully described and transcribed, with many examples of words, sentences, and conversations, in addition to the intonationally integrated IPA sample passage ‘The North Wind and the Sun’.
 
Six chapters provide transcriptions for the vowels, consonants, gemination, and intonation, including several literary texts. Different types of Italian pronunciation are fully described (with clear phonic maps): international, neutral, traditional, mediatic. 22 regional accents are also fully described, with many internal variants. Almost 45 foreign accents, 26 languages, and 33 Italian traditional dialects are presented concisely, but accurately. Latin is also fully described, including concise diachronic stages.
