Some of these proposals are no longer solely based on the intuition of scholars but also substantiated by statistical arguments that help to assess the probability by which a given set of rhyming instances can be assigned to an established rhyme group. So far, however, quantitative methods were only used to confirm given hypotheses regarding rhyme groups in Old Chinese, and no exploratory analyses that would create hypotheses regarding rhyme groups in a corpus were carried out. This paper presents a new method that models rhyme data as weighted undirected networks. By representing rhyme words as nodes in a network and the frequency of rhymes in a given corpus as links between nodes, rhyme groups can be inferred with help of standard algorithms originally designed for social network analysis. This is illustrated through the construction of a rhyme network from the Book of Odes and comparing the automatically inferred rhyme groups with rhyme groups proposed in the literature. Apart from revealing interesting general properties of rhyme networks in Chinese historical phonology, the analysis provides strong evidence for a coda *- r in Old Chinese. The results of the analysis and the rhyme network of the Book of Odes can be inspected in form of an interactive online application or directly downloaded.古代漢語的詞語所反映的韻為對上古音系的構擬，特別是對於最近的一些上古漢語構擬系統，異常重要。其中有一些構擬系統不再僅僅靠於學者的直覺，而且還用統計參數證實來評估分韻和派韻的概率。然而，迄今為止，定量方法僅用於確認關於上古韻部的假設，並且沒有進行探索性數據分析來創建初步分韻假設。本文提出了一種將韻母數據模型為加權無向網絡的新方法。此方法將韻母模型為網絡中的頂點，將某個語料庫的合韻率模型為聯頂點的邊緣，用社會網絡分析的標準算法來推斷語料庫所反映的韻母。為了更具體的說明此方法，本文用“詩經”來構建韻母網絡，而且比較自動與學者所推斷的上古韻部。除了揭示古代漢語韻網的一些有趣特點，“詩經”韻網分析了支持上古漢語韻尾* -r的新證據。“詩經”韻網和韻網分析的結果可以用交際在線應用來訪問而下載。(This article is in English.)","PeriodicalId":132217,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Chinese linguistics","volume":"29 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128673896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former denotes path in the main verb while the latter specifies path in the satellite. This study shows that modern Cantonese and Mandarin tend to express path in the satellite, and specifically in the directional complement. Scholars suggest that Chinese has undergone a typological shift from a verb-framed language to a satellite- framed language and the shift was completed at around the tenth century. However, this study finds that the change has not been completed and it is faster in some dialects and in some types of motion events than the others. Moreover, by studying materials compiled in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Cantonese and Mandarin, this study observes that early Cantonese and Mandarin tend to use directional verbs to denote path when their modern counterparts opt for the use of directional complements. This study further proposes that disyllabicization is an important factor underlying the typological shift. Last, this study undertakes a quantitative approach to examine the expression of path in materials of different nature in modern Cantonese and Mandarin. The statistical result illustrates that written materials reflect as much the linguistic reality as spoken language.

It is revealed that morphosyntactic encodings of deictic information in Chinese have undergone a series of significant changes. （i） Some word orders that are ungrammatical in modern Mandarin Chinese, e.g., zou jin lai jiaoshi ‘walk into classroom’, are actually grammatical in Pre-Modern Chinese and some modern dialects. （ii） Prior to Middle Chinese, there does not exist the constructions where a motion verb is attached with a deictic element as complement, e.g., jin lai ‘enter-come’ and jin qu ‘enter-go’, and the deictic information is encoded as a separate motion event by a deictic main-verb; however, since Middle Chinese, the “verb-deictic complement” pattern starts to emerge. （iii） Before Middle Chinese, a deictic main-verb typically does not take any Ground element as its object, but afterwards this kind of syntactic constructions gradually come to be common. It is argued in this paper that the above diachronic changes are motivated by the change of diachronic extension of Linguistic Inventory Mightiness, i.e., the pattern of coordinate construction is gradually replaced by verb-complement pattern. The above morphosyntactic changes lead to a series of important effects on conceptual structure, e.g., the conceptual composition of Deictic, Path, and Ground. It indicates that the mapping from conceptual domain to semantics and then to syntax is not the whole picture, but the inverse mapping, i.e., syntactic pattern influences conceptual pattern can also be attested from a diachronic perspective.

According to the Chinese written documentation, kʰi3 had two opposite meanings, 'to beg' vs. 'to give', and distinguished those two meanings by tonal inflection: 'to beg' had *-t coda and 'to give' had *-s coda. This paper combines the early Min written documentation and field material of modern Min dialect to investigate the diachronic change included phonology, lexicon and grammaticalization of k h i3 in Min dialect. This paper presents three main conclusions as follows:1.Phonological perspective: the cognate of kʰi3 in proto Min could be reconstructed as *kʰɨt7. Proto Min received the form with *-t coda (Ru Sheng)and dropped the *-s form (Qu Sheng).2.Lexical perspective: Min dialect has not only ‘to beg’ meaning but also ‘to give’.3.Grammatical perspective: the grammaticalization path of kʰi3 in Min dialect is [‘to give’ > ‘to cause’ > passive marker].

In the 16 th century, the entering tone of Mandarin which Cui Shizhen (崔世珍) recorded had been divided into two categories according to vowel height. This pattern is very similar to the modern Lu’an (六安) and Shucheng (舒城) dialects.
