The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Discourse Analysis
Chinese is a discourse-oriented language and the underlying mechanisms of the language involve encoding and decoding so the language can be correctly delivered and understood. To date, there has been a lack of consolidation at the discourse level such that a reference framework for understanding the language in a top-down fashion is still underdeveloped. The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Discourse Analysis is the first to showcase the latest research in the field of Chinese discourse analysis to consolidate existing findings, put the language in both theoretical and socio-functional perspectives, offer guidance and insights for further research and inspire innovative ideas for exploring the Chinese language in the discourse domain. The book is aimed at both students and scholars researching in the areas of Chinese linguistics and discourse analysis.

They find themselves in a kingdom where it hasn't rained for three years because the prefect has angered the King of Heaven. Sun Wukong brings rain and, of course, trouble. Continuing their journey, they meet a prince and his three sons. The sons want to learn how to use the disciples' magic weapons, but one night the magic weapons are stolen by a nearby lion demon. When the disciples go to retrieve them, they encounter an entire family of lion demons, including a nine-headed lion with vast powers.This is the 29th book in the best-selling The Journey to the West series of stories for students learning to read Simplified Chinese. It is based on the epic 16th century novel of the same name by Wu Chen'en.

Over the course of the book the four travelers face the 81 tribulations that Tangseng had to endure to attain Buddhahood.Books 1 through 29 in the Journey to the West series have used a total of about 2,000 different Chinese words, but only 919 words are used in this book.

Vietnam
Travel recommendations get repeated over and over for just a dozen places in Vietnam. These are amazing places, but... Do you wonder what lies beyond them? Do they represent a little or a lot of Vietnam's diversity? What are those popular locations really like? Are the brochures honest? Were they written in New York, Sydney or Hong Kong? Vietnam is my second home, and my book relates what I know. It's based on my travel. Learned from listening to local people about their lives, the area, their beliefs and their history: in 60 of Vietnam's 63 provinces, cycling and walking about 8,000 km, on a motorbike and in buses for almost 12,000 km, crisscrossing the nation as happy as a dog with two tails. It's my pleasure to give you my travel advice and insights to the land where Heaven touches Earth.This is your 'Goldilocks' guide: it fits in your pocket or bag, and has the right amount of easy-to-read information and the right type of information. No sponsored content, no endless lists of places paying to be recommended, no bizarre opinions. And definitely not written to a standard formula by a journalist in New York.You get everything to get you there and for getting around. Lots of explanations of what you can see and do across the regions and cities. There's culture, history and photos too, and some surprises. Books are expensive, but a good guidebook like this can save you time and money. It might save you from wasting a day in a C-grade attraction, or staying in the wrong city. Thank you for considering my guide and please enjoy your time in Vietnam.

Korean Conversations Book 2
This is Book 2 of Korean ConversationsThis book is for any level of Korean language learner who can read and pronounce Hangul. This is not a textbook in the usual sense. It is really more of a practice and example book. There are no "lessons" lain out for you. These are practice conversations for you to get exposure to the way normal, comfortable conversations occur, and while there are of course a number of ways to translate or say the same thing in any language, the examples chosen are done so in a way to narrow down those choices. Each conversation is intended to be both practical and interesting to help you to more easily remember the vocabulary. You will also see several short phrases that are repeated throughout various conversations. This will also help you through repetition to learn those phrases more easily by seeing them in context. Each conversation is between two people who presumably know each other fairly well. This is important to keep in mind for context and for the levels of politeness either used or implied.You will not find a lot of notes or explanations for several reasons. The main reasons being that by looking at the conversations and the translations you should be able to figure out on your own which parts go together, and the more of this connecting and figuring out you do on your own the easier it will be for you both to acquire the language and to remember it.This also allows you to work at this at many different levels and at the levels that suit or interest you. For example, you might see some parts as simply being useful vocabulary or expressions, while someone else might notice that the sentence structure can be used for other instances by doing simple replacing of either the noun or the verb stem. You might also find that going over the conversations and memorizing them is great for you when you are a beginner, but as you progress, revisiting the conversations and digging deeper into the sentence structures can help you to expand your ability to communicate even more.From the AuthorThis book is the followup from a much earlier book on learning hangul. We felt there are not enough resources for students of Korean language to supplement their course materials or to just add vocabulary and phrases without digging them out of large, difficult, and cumbersome textbooks.What do you need to get started with this book?You need to understand basic grammar and word order for Korean and have the ability to read the Korean alphabet. That's it. If you can read hangul, it shouldn't take you long to figure out the rest.This book is a practice alone or with a partner resource for learning Korean conversation in a fun, fast manner.It isn't lessons, and it isn't grammar. It is a collection of conversations written in a style that facilitates being translated as directly as possible so the student can more easily discern what parts of the English sentences are the corresponding words and phrases in the Korean sentences.That isn't to say it's the only way any of these sentences might be translated. It is just that the presented conversations represent as closely as possible the literal meanings and translations or the best "what would a Korean speaker use here" phrases.Figuring these things out on your own will help you to grasp the vocabulary much, much quicker than if the explanations are there in front of you and giving you the false sense that you understand and have it down.

The Shapes and Sounds of the Lao Language
Lao is the native language of the southeast Asian country of Laos, and is also spoken by much of the inhabitants of northeastern Thailand, an area known as Isaan. Mastering a language as different to English as is Lao may first seem to be impossible; with its strange looking script and its multitude of tones and vowels, the task can be decidedly intimidating. Compounding the problems, many native Lao language teachers don't fully understand how to effectively explain these aspects of their language to the expatriate. Rather than a linguistic treatise, Shapes and Sounds of the Lao Language is a practical guide to help you to become fluent in Lao. Using a combination of relevant descriptions, language learning tricks, flash cards, drills and comparison tracks on downloadable MP3 audio files, you will be able to conquer some of the most difficult aspects of the language. Certainly, learning a second language takes hard work and patience, but by following the instructions outlined in this book, you will get the most out of your efforts and will be delighted at the progress you never believed you could make.

This work provides the first truly comprehensive and systematic reconstruction of proto-Afroasiatic (proto-Afrasian).

A Textbook in Classical Tibetan
A Textbook in Classical Tibetan is the first comprehensive course book in the Classical Tibetan language written in English. The textbook describes the grammar of pre-16th-century Classical Tibetan works for beginners and students of intermediate level. It is intended to cover the most essential topics that can be mastered within two semesters of an academic class. Classical Tibetan is a written Middle Tibetan language that has been in use in Tibet from the 9th century. Until the early 20th century it served all purposes, from administrative, to medical, to religious. Nowadays Classical Tibetan remains an important part of religious identity and services for communities also outside of cultural Tibet, foremost in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, but also elsewhere, most importantly in Europe, North America and Australia. The main body of the textbook consists of an introduction to the Tibetan script, eighteen lessons, and a reading section. Each lesson elucidates several grammatical topics which are followed by an exercise and a word list. The chapter readings contain four supplementary readings. In addition to the main parts of the textbook, a brief introduction to Tibetic languages provides linguistic context for the language taught in the textbook, whereas the chapter Translations of Exercises and Readings contains translations and explanatory notes to the exercises provided at the end of each lesson, as well as to the readings. A Textbook in Classical Tibetan is essential reading for both undergraduate and graduate students without any knowledge of Classical Tibetan, but also for those who would like to deepen their experience of the language by reading annotated excerpts from well-known pieces of Tibetan literature.
The Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Dictionary
A revised, expanded edition of the best-selling Japanese-English character dictionary--now with all the current Jōyō and Jinmei Kanji. With The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary: Revised and Expanded, learners finally have at their fingertips accurate and in-depth information on all the kanji prescribed by the Japanese government. In all, 3,002 characters--772 more than in the first edition--fill its pages, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary of its kind. The main goal of the dictionary is to give the learner instant access to a wealth of useful information on kanji, including their meanings, readings, stroke order, and usage in compounds. Compounds pose a special problem for learners. Normally one must memorize them as unrelated units. A unique feature of this dictionary that overcomes this difficulty is the core meaning, a concise keyword that defines the dominant sense of each kanji, followed by character meanings, or specific senses the kanji can have when used in the living language. Together these features help learners understand the logic behind compound formation. Another unique feature is the System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns (SKIP), a revolutionary indexing system that has gained widespread popularity because it enables the user to locate characters as quickly and as accurately as in alphabetical dictionaries. With SKIP, all one needs to do to find a kanji is identify the geometrical pattern to which it belongs, then count the strokes in each part of that pattern--a much speedier process than searching by traditional methods. In 2020 the government expanded the Educational Kanji list from 1006 to 1026 characters to cover the characters used in all Japanese prefecture names. This edition includes these revisions along with illustrative compounds words. These features, and many more, make this dictionary the most powerful kanji-learning tool ever devised.
Chinese Linguistics
This volume provides a broad introduction to Chinese linguistics, offering an accessible synthesis of the most relevant topics in the field. Despite the steady growth in interest in Chinese linguistics in recent years, this is one of very few books at introductory level written for a Western audience. The authors begin by outlining the history and typology of the Sinitic languages and the writing system of Chinese before moving on to discuss key topics in phonology, morphology and the lexicon, and syntax. Throughout the book, they incorporate and discuss examples from standard and non-standard varieties of Sinitic, and include new research on topics such as dialect writing, subjecthood, and word formation. The book will be a valuable reference both for researchers and scholars in the field of China studies and for linguists, including those with little or no previous knowledge of Chinese.
