This general introduction to the study of the Chinese language traces its history from its beginings in the second millennium BC to the present day and provides a clear picture of the contemporary language and its sociolinguistic status. Chinese in its numerous dialect forms, has more speakers than any language in the modern world, and this vast extension in time and space brings to its study an exceptional complexity. Nevertheless, Professor Norman handles this extraordinary range of material with a deftness of organization and lucid elegance of style that make his book of real interest to any reader with only an elementary knowledge of linguistics. It includes information on the genetic and typological connections of Chinese, traditional Chinese phonology, the writing system, the classical and early vernacular languages, the modern language and the non-standard dialects, and the history of linguistic reform in China, concluding with a discussion of present and future prospects.

Hi, I'm Kevin. I lived in China for seven years and found a fun, easy and interesting way for you to learn about the Chinese language. While this book isn't meant to necessarily teach you Chinese, it's an easy way to understand the makeup of their language and explains something complex in an painless way. Have you ever wondered about Chinese but didn't know where to start? This is the place. I break down the basics of how they speak while leaving out all the useless information. Think of this as an introduction into Chinese language and culture, as the two are inherently connected. Come with me on a journey and discover how Chinese people say things like 'computer' (electric brain) or 'kangaroo' (bag rat) or 'toilet' (horse bucket). There's a ton of drawings and over 1200 translations to keep you entertained for weeks. The re-readability of this book is amazing! It also includes a 45,000 word story about my time in China. I had a ton of fun adventures, and I include lots of information about the idiocyncracies of the Chinese culture as well! Learn something interesting while you laugh.
