Top COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course investigates the relationship between modern Chinese and earlier stages in the history of the Chinese language, including its dialects. Also covered briefly are the Chinese writing system and some metrical structures of early poetic traditions.

Top COURSE OJECTIVES
Chinese 681 (History of the Chinese Language) is designed to introduce graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students in Chinese language and literature to important phonological and grammatical features in different periods in the history of the Chinese language. Rhyme dictionaries and rhyme tables will be examined for their contribution to our understanding of earlier stages in the phonological system of the Chinese language, and of changes in rhyming practices. Development of grammatical features in the history of the language will also be examined. Included as part of the course will be a cursory look at the origin and evolution of the Chinese script, the classification and development of modern Chinese dialects, taboo words and their effect on language change, and the relationship between language and literature. Other topics may also be included.

Top COURSE CONTENT
The course will be conducted through lectures combined with class discussions of assigned readings, individual and small-group assignments in class, and students' presentations of homework assignments and their individual research projects. A mailing list for the class will also be used for dissemination of information and student-initiated discussions concerning topics brought up in class. All class assignments will be placed online and internally-linked for class-viewing and discussion.

Top STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
  1. Read and reflect on all assigned readings prior to class lectures and discussion.
  2. Attend class regularly, and participate actively in class discussions and individual/group activities.
  3. Submit three homework assignments (each about 4 double-spaced pages, including references).[1]
  4. For the term paper project:
    1. Turn in a one-page, double-spaced, term paper proposal with select references by Week 6.
    2. Present an oral version of the term paper project at the end of the quarter.[2]
    3. Submit a term paper in digital format (about 10 pages, double-spaced).[3]
[1] These may be a combination of short reactions papers and written responses to specific questions from the instructor based on the readings. The assignments should be submitted in digital format (DOC, RTF, NJX, PDF, HTML, or some other format) that will be internally-linked for class use. A hardcopy is optional, except in cases where handwritten material is submitted. Files are to be uploaded by the students to their personal web subdirectory if they have one; otherwise submitted to the instructor for uploading.

[2] Prepare hardcopy handouts or transparencies, or prepare a digital file in PPT/PPS format (for a PowerPoint presentation/show).

[3] A hardcopy is optional, but practical if appendices are included that would otherwise require scanning of each page of the appendix.) All homework assignments and term papers are to be placed online and will be internally-linked for class use.

DISABILITY SERVICES
Students with disabilities that have been certified by the Office for Disability Services will be appropriately accommodated, and should inform the instructor as soon as possible of their needs. The Office for Disability Services is located in 150 Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue (Tel: 292.3307. TDD: 292.0901).

      (Chinese 681 for Spring Quarter 1996 was my first attempt at creating an online course syllabus, in conjunction with using a multimedia classroom with computers and internet connection. The original syllabus was viewed 574 times from 17 March 1996 to 30 September 1996 under the old counter. The links extracted from that original online syllabus became the start of my ChinaLinks webpages, now at ChinaLinks.osu.edu.)
