As the fifth volume of a multi-volume set on the Chinese language,
this book studies the development of monosyllables and
polysyllables in Middle Chinese and the overall evolution of
lexical meanings during the period. Focusing on lexicons in Middle
Chinese, the Chinese language used between the 4th century AD and
the 12th century AD, the book first introduces the monosyllabic
neologisms of Middle Chinese, including characters and words
derived from Old Chinese lexicons and those newly created. It then
examines the development of polysyllabic words in Middle Chinese,
ranging from single morpheme words, tautologies and compound words.
The final chapter discusses the changes and extension of word
meanings in medieval Chinese. Illustrated with abundant examples,
this comprehensive groundwork on Chinese lexical history will be a
must read for scholars and students studying ancient Chinese
language, linguistics and especially for beginning learners of the
Middle Chinese lexicon.
