Some Contrastive Aspects of the Chinese National Language Movement

Chao, Yuen Ren

Monda Lingvo-Problemo, 3, 7, 31-39, 71

A contrastive analysis of the National Language, or Standard Mandarin, and some of the major dialects of China is presented. It serves to reveal the points in the standardization process where confusion is most likely to occur. The phonological component seems to be the most problematic. Available from Humanities Press, Inc., Atlantic Highlands, N. J. 07716. (TL)
