AUTUMN QUARTER 2005 Professor Marjorie K.M. Chan Dept. of E. Asian Lang. & Lit. The Ohio State University Columbus, OH 43210 U.S.A.

Readings for the course consist of journal articles and book chapters. Unless indicated otherwise, these reading selections will be in PDF format and will be made available during the quarter from E-Reserves or are available from e-journals. To retrieve readings on E-Reserves, go first to OSU Libraries <library.osu.edu>. Under Quicklinks, select either "Reserves by Course" or "Reserves by Professor". (Note: Reserved materials for a given course are listed online for the current quarter only.)

For reading selections that are in e-journals, first locate the e-journal online at OSU Libraries: E-Journal Titles and/or OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center (EJC), and then locate the specific volume and issue containing the article.

This course investigates the linguistic structures of major Chinese dialects from a cross-dialectal, comparative approach. Also covered are issues pertaining to dialect classification, as well as various socio-cultural aspects of the varieties of Chinese, such as multilingualism, language planning, code-switching / code-mixing, attitudes and attitude changes, etc. Other topics -- such as vernacular characters, language and media, language and local / popular culture, language and ethnic identity, language and gender, and so forth -- will also be explored subject to class interest.

The course aims to provide students with opportunities to explore and examine, through assigned and student-selected readings, dialect data with respect to linguistic structures and other linguistic topics relevant to the study of modern Chinese dialects.

Students should, at the end of the course, gain a deeper understanding of both the linguistic structure of some modern Chinese dialects and the relationship between the standard language and the dialects of Chinese in modern Chinese culture and society. The course should provide the student with sufficient knowledge to examine some of the topics in modern Chinese dialects at an advanced graduate level and to proceed to further studies in a graduate seminar concerning Chinese dialects.

The course will be conducted through lectures combined with class presentations and discussions of assigned and student-selected readings. Sound files, video / film clips, and other multimedia materials will be presented in class for analysis and discussion. Course work includes each student presenting, and leading, the discussion of two readings (to be selected by the student in consultation with the instructor). Students will also submit a final project at the end of the quarter.

Students are expected to:

1. Read the assigned readings prior to class.

2. Attend class regularly and participate actively in class discussions and other class activities.
   . A mailing list for the class will also be used for dissemination of information and student-initiated discussions concerning topics brought up in class.

3. Present two readings for class discussion. Outlines should form an integral part of the presentation. Other materials to accompany the presentation, such as sound files or other multimedia materials, may be prepared as needed.

4. Present the final project orally in the final week of clas. (Obtain by Week 7 the instructor's approval for the topic of the final project.)

5. Submit a written version of the final project (about 10 double-spaced pages plus references), in hardcopy and digital format at the end of the quarter. Include textual data, sound files, and/or multimedia materials as needed. Students are expected to upload their project online for class-viewing.
   . Final projects may be in the form of publication-based research, literature review and analysis, web-based project, or research and analysis based on fieldwork and other data or corpora (from transcriptional data, survey results, transcribed interviews, etc.).
   . Students who do not have their own web account may submit their final project on disk or via email attachment for the instructor to upload for class-viewing.

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)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT)
Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. Failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in OSU's Code of Student Conduct may constitute "Academic Misconduct." OSU's Code of Student Conduct (section 3335-23-04 Prohibited conduct) defines as academic misconduct "[a]ny activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the university, or subvert the educational process." Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, possession of unauthorized materials during an examination, and submission of the same work for credit in two (or more) courses. Ignorance of the University's Code of Student Conduct is never considered an "excuse" for academic misconduct; hence, be sure to review the sections dealing with academic misconduct in the Code of Student Conduct. Be sure also to read the University's Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity and/or the Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (from Northwestern U.). The University's policy on academic misconduct will be enforced in accordance with Faculty Rule 3335-5-54, and all alleged cases of academic misconduct will be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs' Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) for resolution. Students with questions concerning the above policy or questions concerning academic misconduct are encouraged to ask the instructor any time during the quarter.

1. Online Library Resources
   
   1. Ohio State University Libraries
      OSU Libraries currently has a fairly large collection of publications on Chinese dialects, including both linguistic studies of individual dialects as well as Chinese dialect dictionaries. A search at OSU Libraries for "Chinese language -- dialects" under SUBJECT, for example, yields well over a hundred entries. There are also a number of Chinese linguistics bibliographies, which can be searched for under SUBJECT and entering "Chinese language -- Dialects -- Bibliography" to obtain a list of them, including Paul Yang's 1981 compilation, Chinese Dialectology: A Selected and Classified Bibliography, which contains an extensive listing of publications on Chinese dialects up to around 1980, as well as Nie Jianmin and Li Qi's (聂建民﹑李琦) 1993 Hanyu Fangyan Yanjiu Wenxian Mulu (汉语方言研究文献目录), etc. One bibliography that got overlooked in the cataloging (including under "Chinese language -- bibliography" is William S-Y Wang and Anatole Lyovin's 1970, database-generated, 513-page CLIBOC: Chinese Linguistics Bibliography On Computer. (Cambridge: Cambridge U. Press) [OSU Book Depository: Z699.5.C53 W3]. Among the library resources available is a journal dedicated to Chinese dialectology, and that is Fangyan (方言), with the first issue published in 1979.

Starostin's website includes his Sino-Tibetan Etymology database (for Chinese and four other S-T languages); his Chinese Database of circa 4000 characters with entries in characters, modern (Beijing)/Middle Chinese/Old Chinese, fanqie, dialect pronunciations, Shuowen gloss, translation, etc.; and the Chinese Dialects database.

   The Chinese Dialects database is based on William S-Y Wang and Chin-Chuan Cheng's DOC (Dialects of China) (a.k.a. "Dictionary on Computer"), containing the original 17 dialects in the Hanyu Fangyi Zihui (1962 ed.), Middle Chinese rhyme table categories, plus Shanghai, early Mandarin (Zhongyuan Yinyun), and other info entered into that database. For the original database on which Starostin's database was built, see Chin-chuan Cheng's downloadable DOC (Dialects of China) Files at Chinese U. of Hong Kong.
