On the classification of the Chinese script
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis dissertation examines the seemingly intractable controversies on the classification of the Chinese script from broader linguistic perspectives, delves into the reasons for the controversies, and provides a theoretical exposition and various pieces of empirical evidence for the argument that the Chinese script should be classified as a morphemic system of writing, as opposed to a syllabic or a morphosyllabic system of writing.
