Chinese Linguistics Talk Series: Ms. Lin Deng

ABD, University of Washington
Does the demonstrative system in Pre-Qin Chinese make a two-way or three-way distinction?”
Standard Mandarin only makes a distinction between proximate (this) and distal (that). In Classical Chinese, there is a rather large array of demonstratives, and the multiplicity of these forms needs to be accounted for. By comparing with multi-term systems attested in modern Chinese dialects and tracing the use of demonstratives in the earliest extant materials from the Shang and Zhou periods, this presentation will try to explore the diachronic and synchronic factors in the formation of demonstrative system in Pre-Qin Chinese.

Chinese Linguistics Talk Series: Dr. Jerome Packard

Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
“L2 Learners: Shallow Structure or Limited Memory?"
In this talk I present the results of experiments that compared relative clause processing in L2 speakers of Mandarin and English. Using a self-paced reading task, the processing of sentences containing subject-gap and object-gap relative clauses was examined.  The research found that both L2 groups experienced relative clause gap site effects, namely, the L2 Mandarin group processed subject-gap relative clauses more slowly, and the L2 English group processed object-gap relative clauses more slowly. Detailed analysis revealed that the processing slowdown for subject-gap clauses in the Mandarin L2 group occurred at the relative clause verb, argument and head, and that in the English L2 group, processing slowdown for the object-gap clauses occurred at the relative clause verb. These results are explained by positing limited availability of L2 procedural memory, and that because of this limitation, L2 speakers have particular difficulty integrating a gap and its filler.

Always – Sunset on Third Street (Always – San-chome no Yuhi)

The year is 1958: the postwar depression has ended and Japan is embarking on a period of tremendous growth, symbolized by the construction of the awe-inspiring Tokyo Tower. But under its shadow, in a working class neighborhood known as shitamachi, many are still struggling to get by. This nostalgic drama features a strong ensemble cast, and took home no less than 12 awards from the 2006 Japan Academies, including Best Picture, Director, Actor and Screenplay

“Multimodal Metaphor in Multimodal Discourse: The Case of a CCTV Commercial”
Following conceptual metaphor theory, this talk analyzes a CCTV commercial produced in preparation for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. This commercial’s theme, “To mount the stage of the world, and to put on a show of China”, is expressed in terms of a central metaphor: HOSTING THE BEIJING OLYMPICS IS PERFORMING BEIJING OPERA ON AN INTERNATIONAL STAGE. This talk analyzes how this metaphor is manifested in the multimodal discourse.

A Model of Perceptual Categories of Mandarin Tones”
This study utilizes perceptual and production data from native speakers to develop a model of the Mandarin tone system. An analysis of perceptual and production data from non-native learners of Chinese is then used to provide an account of how non-native speakers distinguish tone categories that are not employed contrastively in their native language (L1).

The Global University: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives conference

The Global University: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives is a two-day conference to be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on February 5 and 6, 2010. Following up on earlier meetings in China and the United Kingdom, this will be the third international conference of the "Ideas and Universities" project of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN).

The "Ideas and Universities" project brings together leading higher-education scholars from China, Australia, Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States to discuss (a) the roles that universities have played—and continue to play—in the global knowledge economy, and (b) the evolving identity of university teacher-researchers and their changing roles in institutions of higher learning.

This conference is free and open to the public. But space is limited and pre-registration is required. If you have questions about the conference, please contact Professor Adam R Nelson.

Sponsors of The Global University conference include: the Worldwide Universities Network; the University of Bristol; the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Division of International Studies, Global Studies, and Department of Educational Policy Studies

Consumption, Production and Ritual Economy at the'Great Settlement Shang'
By Roderick Campbell, Brown University
Rm 6240 Social Sciences

Abstract: The Shang capital at Anyang (ca. 1250-1050 BCE), commemorated in later hymns as "the pivot of the four quarters", is justly famous for its beautiful and complex bronze casting, rich tombs, palace-temples, oracle-bone writings and monumental sacrificial remains. Less well known are its enormous workshops where cattle bone, perhaps the remains of elite sacrifice and feasting, was fashioned into hairpins and other artifacts. The enormous scale of the workshop remains, as well as the nature of both the raw material and the crafted products, raise a host of questions concerning royal sacrifice, the wider Shang political economy and the nature of production at Anyang.This talk will present preliminary research on the 32 tons of production remains recovered from what may be the world's largest bone workshop: Tiesanlu, Anyang.

Learning to Write at Anyang: the Emergence of Literacy in East Asia”



Sponsored by the Luce Archaeology Search Committee and the Department of Anthropology, UW Madison

How, without external influence from other already-literate cultures,

do writing systems and literate behavior emerge in previously non-literate cultures? How does the earliest archaeological evidence for Chinese literacy help us to answer this more general anthropological question? This talk will present a cross-cultural hypothesis about the origins of literacy, supported by a particularistic historical reconstruction of key aspects of the process in China, challenging the conventional understanding that writing systems and literate behavior first arise as the result of "intelligent design" by foresightful would-be scribes, proposing instead that they are better understood as the outcome of an evolutionary process that was not envisaged or directed by its human participants. In the Chinese case, intensifying resort to divinatory practices provided the arena in which this evolutionary process took place.

Korean Buddhist Journeys to Lands Worldly and Otherworldly”

Travel for religious training, missionary propagation, and devotional pilgrimage has long been an integral part of Buddhism and Korean Buddhism was no exception. Travel to the Buddhist meccas of India and China, as well as to the mythic undersea bastion of the faith, played a crucial role in connecting Korea to the broader Buddhist cultural sphere.  By sojourning in such regions, Koreans were demonstrating their associations with the wider world of Buddhist culture, whether that world be terrestrial or cosmological. Simultaneous with their continued travel overseas to major Buddhist sites, Koreans were also bringing those sites homes through a wholesale remapping of the domestic landscape, which both domesticated the dharma and harnessed the numinous power of its cosmology for the residents of the peninsula. At least by the ninth century, Korea had been thoroughly remapped in terms of Buddhism, with a replication on the peninsula of both the imaginary geography of Buddhist cosmology as well as the Indian and Chinese historical landscapes. The “relocalization” of Buddhism on the peninsula enabled Korean Buddhists to travel through the sacred geography of Buddhism from the (relative) comfort of his or her own locale, allowing domestic travel to stand in for pilgrimage to either worldly or otherworldly lands. This presentation will explore the diversity of Korean Buddhist travel experiences and outline this process of relocalizing Buddhist sacred geography on the Korean peninsula.

Japan as ‘Samurai Nation’”

Samurai, as a legally defined social group, were officially abolished as part of the reforms of the new Meiji government in the 1870s, yet they have continued to serve as an important archetype of Japan to the present day. This lecture will analyze the process by which the samurai have become a metaphor or trope for modern Japan, and the ideals and values by which they were said to live, known as bushidô, an important explanation for Japan’s dramatic modernization and social transformations. It will further explore the varied uses to which to image of the samurai have been employed, by both Japanese and foreigners, in defining Japanese cultural identity.
