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.

The Journey to the West, Books 19, 20 and 21
This book contains the full text of the 19th, 20th and 21st stories in our Journey to the West series for people learning to read Chinese. The three stories told here are unchanged from our original versions except for minor editing and reformatting.In The Angry Monkey, the Buddhist monk Tangseng has harsh words for his eldest disciple, the monkey king Sun Wukong. This argument leads to a case of mistaken identity and an earthshaking battle across heaven and the underworld. In The Burning Mountain, the travelers' path is blocked by a huge blazing mountain. They learn that Sun Wukong himself caused the fire five centuries earlier, and the travelers must discover how to extinguish the blaze so they can continue their journey. And in The Rain of Blood, An evil rainstorm of blood covers a city and defiles a beautiful Buddhist monastery. Tangseng and his disciples find two fish-demons drinking wine and gambling in the top floor of the monastery's pagoda. This leads to an epic underwater confrontation with their boss, a powerful dragon king. The stories are written, as much as possible, using the 1200 word vocabulary of HSK4 plus several hundred additional words introduced in these books and earlier books in the series. They are presented in Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, and include an English version and complete glossary. Free audio versions are available for free on YouTube's Imagin8 Press channel and on our website, www.imagin8press.com.

Chinese Syntax Tree Diagram
Some people say that Chinese does not have grammar, as a Chinese word may be a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb in many cases without conjugation, inflection, derivation nor even the preposition. However, Chinese syntax has many similarities with English as an isolating language, whose word order is more obligatory than inflected or agglutinative languages. Moreover, because of the ideograph, which expresses a morpheme indifferent of the parts of speech, the word order is stricter than English. Chinese words are fundamentally monosyllabic, the same as English original words such as "head", "arm", "go", "come". Being monosyllabic, the verb may combine easily and even a short sentence may be more complex than in English. In this work, we try to verify the hypothesis that though the grammar varies, every human language is based on the universal sentence structure restricted by the space-time cognition.

It is filled with many curious anecdotes and advices useful not only to speak in KOREAN, but also to get by during a trip.If you are still not sure, keep on reading... From the preface of the Author...(...) When I started to learn Korean in Italy I could not find any textbook able to help me to fully understand the contemporary society and when I first set foot in Korea I felt really lost. I wish someone had taken my hand and shown me all the things that I came to know after years of direct experience. I also tried to be very objective in the exposition of the material: it happens often that the passion for Korea causes people (especially young girls) to have an idyllic image of this nation, without knowing and recognizing the problematic aspects too."HOW TO LEARN KOREAN IN 30 DAYS" aims at being the fastest and most enjoyable method to learn Korean. The purpose is to study one chapter a day, for a total of 30 days. Every chapter starts from a cultural anecdote, slowly approaching a grammar rule, some words and many exercises to test yourself. Every chapter therefore will help you to understand Korea thoroughly.It is suitable both for those working and for those travelling... as well as for those who are only curious to learn something about this culture full of surprises! The difficult thing for a foreigner lies not only in verbal communication but also in understanding the culture of those giving hospitality. With this "little book" you can dive into the real South Korean culture, becoming, with some patience, little experts.
