The objective of the work of W. South Coblin has been to collect
various materials on Chinese and Tibeto-Burman languages into a
single list and to arrange this list in a clear and convenient
form, with indexes which make the information easily accessible.The
author presents the view that Chinese and the Tibeto-Burman
languages must have descended from a common proto-language. He
reconstructs Sino-Tibetan proto-forms from which Chinese and
Tibeto-Burman reflexes can be derived by regular rules. The
importance of the reconstructive exercise lies not in the detail of
this or any other reconstructed system but in the fact that the
exercise can be successfully carried out, regardless of theoretical
convictions or orientations.
