As the seventh volume of a multi-volume set on the Chinese
language, this book studies the Mongolian influence on neologisms
in Modern Chinese and innovations in word formation and lexical
meanings during the period. Focusing on lexicons in Modern Chinese,
the Chinese language used since the 13th century AD, this book
first introduces new monosyllables and the entry of spoken idioms
and dialects into the written language as well as the mingling of
the Chinese language with the Mongolian and Manchu languages. It
then focuses on the development and features of polysyllabic words
in Modern Chinese, covering alliterative and rhyming compounds,
trisyllabic and four-syllable words. The final chapter discusses
the change of lexical meaning systems in Modern Chinese based on an
analysis of monosyllables, disyllables and polysyllables.
Illustrated with abundant examples, this comprehensive groundwork
on Chinese lexical history will be a must read for scholars and
students studying modern Chinese language, linguistics and
especially for beginning learners of the modern Chinese lexicon.
