As the fourth volume of a multi-volume set on the Chinese language,
this book studies the lexical system of Old Chinese and the
development of different types of lexicons during the period.
Focusing on lexicons in Old Chinese, the early form of the Chinese
language used between the 18th century BC and the 3rd century AD,
this volume first introduces the methods of word formation in Old
Chinese by analyzing words inscribed in oracle bones of the Shang
Dynasty. Illustrated with examples, it then examines the lexical
features of Old Chinese and explores the progress and evolutionary
features of monosyllabic words, polysyllabic words, lexical
meanings, synonyms, and idioms and proverbs over the course of the
volume. This comprehensive groundwork on Chinese lexical history is
a must read for scholars and students studying ancient Chinese
language, linguistics and especially for beginning learners of the
Old Chinese lexicon.
