Description
'Sound and Symbol in Chinese' by Karlgren, Bernhard explores the complexities of the Chinese language, focusing on disambiguation methods used to clarify meanings in a monosyllabic and isolating language. The book delves into the challenges posed by homophones, idiomatic expressions, and the absence of grammatical markers in Chinese communication. Through the analysis of tones, synonym-compounds, determinatives, and context, the author illustrates how Chinese has evolved to ensure clear communication despite these linguistic obstacles.
