WINTER QUARTER 2003 CHINESE 882 Studies in Chinese Historical Phonology Professor Marjorie K.M. Chan Dept. of E. Asian Lang. & Lit. The Ohio State University Columbus, OH 43210

There are no textbooks for this course. Reading selections will be placed in 208 Cunz Hall, and on Reserve in Main Library if needed. Check OSU Libraries' Course Reserves (by Prof/TA or Course) for an online list of books placed on Reserve for Chinese 882, as well as for Chinese 681 (History of the Chinese Language), which is offered this quarter as well. (Note: Reserved materials for a given course are listed online for the current quarter only.) Reference books will be placed on Reserve in Main Library as needed.

Many of the readings for the course are web e-journal articles, and may be downloadable at OSU Libraries - OSCAR or at JSTOR: The Scholarly Archive for older articles.

Critical study of the rhyming dictionaries, the reconstruction of the phonology of different stages of the Chinese language and its relations to modern Chinese dialects. Issues concerning prosodic phenomena, language contact, and sound change are also covered.

This course examines, in some detail, various issues in the study of Chinese historical phonology. The course introduces both classic works and newer publications, and aims to provide graduate students with background for further, in-depth research on historical linguistic topics.

The course is divided into two main parts. The first half of the course deals with reconstruction and other issues relevant to the three main stages in the periodization of Chinese phonology, namely, Old Chinese, Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. The second half of the course explores various topics in historical Chinese phonology, including prosodic phenomena, phonology-morphology interface, language contact, and theories of sound change.

The course will be conducted through lectures combined with class discussions of assigned readings. Course work includes students' submission and class presentation of five homework assignments and one final term paper project.

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 five homework assignments (each about 3-4 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 the end of Week 7.
   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.

Code of Student Conduct: Academic Misconduct.
Please also note that students need to adhere to The Ohio State University's Code of Student Conduct, with particular reference here to "Academic misconduct," defined as "[a]ny activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the university, or subvert the educational process."
