<p><span class="font3">Topics in the areas of politics, international relations, mores, etc., which may be considered as controversial from some points of view, are sometimes included in the language instruction for DLIFLC students since military personnel may find themselves in positions where a clear understanding of conversations or written materials of this nature will be essential to their mission.

<p><span class="font3">Actual brand names and businesses are sometimes cited in DLIFLC instructional materials to provide instruction in pronunciations and meanings. The selection of such proprietary terms and names is based solely on their value for instruction in the language.

<p><span class="font12">The conference resolved to develop materials which were flexible enough in form and content to meet the requirements of a wide range of government agencies and academic institutions.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department’s Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School of the National Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Education, later Joined by the Canadian Forces Foreign Language School. The representatives have included Arthur T. McNeill, John Hopkins, and John Boag (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, and Major Bernard Muller-Thym (DLI); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSI); Kazuo Shitama (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS).</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 197<sup>1</sup>* in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute. Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds and other assistance.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Gerard P. Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning council was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense Language Institute, Patricia O'Connor of the University of Texas, Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977* Lucille A. Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan of the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drew up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their development.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, who worked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the comprehension and production self-study materials, and also designed the communication-based classroom activities and wrote the teacher’s guides. Lucille A. Barale and Roberta S. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. By 1978 Thomas E. Madden and Susan C. Pola had Joined the staff. Led by Ms. Barale, they have worked as a team to produce the materials subsequent to Module 6.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">All Chinese language material was prepared or selected by Chuan 0. Chao, Ying-chi Chen, Hsiao-Jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, Tsung-mi Li, and Yunhui C. Yang, assisted for part of the time by Chieh-fang Ou Lee, Ying-ming Chen, and Joseph Yu Hsu Wang. Anna Affholder, Mei-li Chen, and Henry Khuo helped in the preparation of a preliminary corpus of dialogues.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Administrative assistance was provided at various times by Vincent Basciano, Lisa A. Bowden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong, Renee T. C. Liang, Thomas E. Madden, Susan C. Pola, and Kathleen Strype.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The production of tape recordings was directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script was voiced by Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr. Khuo, Mr. Li, and Ms. Yang. The English script was read by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The graphics were produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, Chief of Audio-Visual.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach</span><span class="font12"> was field-tested with the cooperation of Brown University; the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center; the Foreign Service Institute; the Language Learning Center; the United States Air Force Academy; the University of Illinois; and the University of Virginia.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Colonel Samuel L. Stapleton and Colonel Thomas G. Foster, Commandants of the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, authorized the DLIFLC support necessary for preparation of this edition of the course materials. This support included coordination, graphic arts, editing, typing, proofreading, printing, and materials necessary to carry out these tasks.</span></p>

<h3><a name="bookmark4"></a><span class="font2" style="font-weight:bold;"><a name="bookmark79"></a>SECTION I: ABOUT THE COURSE .</span></h3>
<p><span class="font12">This course is designed to give you a practical command of spoken Standard Chinese. You will learn both to understand and to speak it. Although Standard Chinese is one language, there are differences between the particular form it takes in Beijing and the form it takes in the rest of the country. There are also, of course, significant nonlinguistic differences between regions of the country. Reflecting these regional differences, the settings for most conversations are Beijing and Taipei.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">This course represents a new approach to the teaching of foreign languages. In many ways it redefines the roles of teacher and student, of classwork and homework, and of text and tape. Here is what you should expect:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The focus is on communicating in Chinese in practical situations—the obvious ones you will encounter upon arriving in China. You will be communicating in Chinese most of the time you are in class. You will not always be talking about real situations, but you will almost always be purposefully exchanging information in Chinese.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">This focus on conimunicating means that the teacher is first of all your conversational partner. Anything that forces him<a name="footnote1"></a><sup><a href="#bookmark80">1</a></sup> back into the traditional roles of lecturer and drillmaster limits your opportunity to interact with a speaker of the Chinese language and to experience the language in its full spontaneity, flexibility, and responsiveness.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Using class time for communicating, you will complete other course activities out of class whenever possible. This is what the tapes are for. They introduce the new material of each unit and give you as much additional practice as possible without a conversational partner.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The texts summarize and supplement the tapes, which take you through new material step by step and then give you intensive practice on what you have covered. In this course you will spend almost all your time listening to Chinese and saying things in Chinese, either with the tapes or in class.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">How the Course Is Organized</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The subtitle of this course, &quot;A Modular Approach,” refers to overall organization of the materials into MODULES which focus on particular situations or language topics and which allow a certain amount of choice as to what is taught and in what order. To highlight equally significant features of the course, the subtitle could just as well have been &quot;A Situational Approach,&quot; &quot;A Taped-Input Approach,&quot; or &quot;A Communicative Approach.&quot;</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Inside a Core Module</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Each core module has from four to eight units. A module also includes</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Objectives</span><span class="font12">: The module objectives are listed at the beginning of the text for each module. Read these before starting work on the first unit to fix in your mind what you are trying to accomplish and what you will have to do to pass the test at the end of the module.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Target Lists</span><span class="font12">: These follow the objectives in the text. They summarize the language content of each unit in the form of typical questions and answers on the topic of that unit. Each sentence is given both in roman-ized Chinese and in English. Turn to the appropriate Target List before, during, or after your work on a unit, whenever you need to pull together what is in the unit.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Review Tapes (R-l)</span><span class="font12">: The Target List sentences are given on these tapes. Except in the short Orientation Module, there are two R-l tapes for each module.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Criterion Test</span><span class="font12">: After studying each module, you will take a Criterion Test to find out which module objectives you have met and which you need to work on before beginning to study another module.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Inside a Unit</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Here is what you will be doing in each unit. First, you will work through two tapes:</span></p>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">1.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Comprehension Tape 1 (C-l)</span><span class="font12">: This tape introduces all the new words and structures in the unit and lets you hear them in the context of short conversational exchanges. It then works them into other short conversations and longer passages for listening practice, and finally reviews them in the Target List sentences. Your goal when using the tape is to understand all the Target List sentences for the unit.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">2.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Production Tape 1 (P-1)</span><span class="font12">: This tape gives you practice in pronouncing the new words and in saying the sentences you learned to understand on the C-l tape. Your goal when using the P-1 tape is to be able to produce any of the Target List sentences in Chine<sup>e</sup>? when given the English equivalent.</span></p></li></ul>
<p><span class="font12">The C-l and P-1 tapes, not accompanied by workbooks, are &quot;portable&quot; in the sense that they do not tie you down to your desk. However, there are some written materials for each unit which you will need to work into your study routine. A text </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Reference List</span><span class="font12"> at the beginning of each unit contains the sentences from the C-l and P-1 tapes. It includes both the Chinese sentences and their English equivalents. The text </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Reference Notes</span><span class="font12"> restate and expand the comments made on the C-l and P-1 tapes concerning grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">After you have worked with the C-l and P-1 tapes, you go on to two class activities:</span></p>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">3.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Target List Review</span><span class="font12">: In this first class activity of the unit, you find out how well you learned the C-l and P-1 sentences. The teacher checks your understanding and production of the Target List sentences. He also presents any additional required vocabulary items, found at the end of the Target List, which were not on the C-l and P-1 tapes.</span></p></li></ul>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">U. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Structural Buildup</span><span class="font12">: During this class activity, you work on your understanding and control of the new structures in the unit. You respond to questions from your teacher about situations illustrated on a chalkboard or explained in other ways.</span></p></li></ul>
<p><span class="font12">After these activities, your teacher may want you to spend some time working on the drills for the unit.</span></p>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">5.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Drill Tape</span><span class="font12">: This tape takes you through various types of drills based on the Target List sentences and on the additional required vocabulary.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">6.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Drills</span><span class="font12">: The teacher may have you go over some or all of the drills in class, either to prepare for work with the tape, to review the tape, or to replace it.</span></p></li></ul>
<p><span class="font12">Next, you use two more tapes. These tapes will give you as much additional practice as possible outside of class.</span></p>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">7.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Comprehension Tape 2 (C-2)</span><span class="font12">: This tape provides advanced listening practice with exercises containing long, varied passages which fully exploit the possibilities of the material covered. In the C-2 Workbook you answer questions about the passages.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">8.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Production Tape 2 (P-2)</span><span class="font12">: This tape resembles the Structural Buildup in that you practice using the new structures of the unit in various situations. The P-2 Workbook provides instructions and displays of information for each exercise.</span></p></li></ul>
<p><span class="font12">Following work on these two tapes, you take part in two class activities:</span></p>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">9.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Exercise Review</span><span class="font12">: The teacher reviews the exercises of the C-2 tape by reading or playing passages from the tape and questioning you on them. He reviews the exercises of the P-2 tape by questioning you on information displays in the P-2 Workbook.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">10.</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> Communication Activities</span><span class="font12">: Here you use what you have learned in the unit for the purposeful exchange of information. Both fictitious situations (in Communication Games) and real-world situations involving you and your classmates (in &quot;interviews”) are used.</span></p>

<h3><a name="bookmark81"></a><span class="font2" style="font-weight:bold;"><a name="bookmark82"></a>SECTION II</span><br><br><span class="font2" style="font-weight:bold;"><a name="bookmark83"></a>BACKGROUND NOTES: ABOUT CHINESE</span></h3>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">The Chinese Languages</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">We find it perfectly natural to talk about a language called ’’Chinese. ’’ We say, for example, that the people of China speak different dialects of Chinese, and that Confucius wrote in an ancient form of Chinese. On the other hand, we would never think of saying that the people of Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal speak dialects of one language, and that Julius Caesar wrote in an ancient form of that language. But the facts are almost exactly parallel.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Therefore, in terms of what we think of as a language when closer to home, ’’Chinese” is not one language, but a family of languages. The language of Confucius is partway up the trunk of the family tree. Like Latin, it lived on as a literary language long after its death as a spoken language in popular use. The seven modern languages of China, traditionally known as the &quot;dialects,&quot; are the branches of the tree. They share as strong a family resemblance as do Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and are about as different from one another.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The predominant language of China is now known as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Putonghua</span><span class="font12">, or &quot;Standard Chinese&quot; (literally &quot;the common speech&quot;). The more traditional term, still used in Taiwan, is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Guoyǔ</span><span class="font12">, or &quot;Mandarin&quot; (literally &quot;the national language&quot;). Standard Chinese is spoken natively by almost two-thirds of the population of China and throughout the greater part of the country.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The term &quot;Standard Chinese&quot; is often used more narrowly to refer to the true national language which is emerging. This language, which is already the language of all national broadcasting, is based primarily on the 'Peking dialect, but takes in elements from other dialects of Standard Chinese and even from other Chinese languages. Like many national languages, it is more widely understood than spoken, and is often spoken with some concessions to local speech, particularly in pronunciation.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The Chinese languages and their dialects differ far more in pronunciation than in grammar and vocabulary. What distinguishes Standard Chinese most from the other Chinese languages, for example, is that it has the fewest tones and the fewest final consonants.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The remaining six Chinese languages, spoken by approximately a quarter of the population of China, are tightly grouped in the southeast, below the Yangtze River. The six are: the Wu group (Wu), which includes the &quot;Shanghai dialect&quot;; Hunanese (</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiāng</span><span class="font12">); the &quot;Kiangsi dialect&quot; (Gan); Cantonese (</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Yuè</span><span class="font12">), the language of Guangdong, widely spoken in Chinese communities in the United States; Fukienese (</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Min</span><span class="font12">), a variant of which is spoken by a majority on Taiwan and hence called Taiwanese; and Hakka (</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Kèjiā</span><span class="font12">). spoken in a belt above the Cantonese area, as well as by a minority on Taiwan. Cantonese, Fukienese, and Hakka are also widely spoken throughout Southeast Asia.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">There are minority ethnic groups in China who speak non-Chinese languages. Some of these, such as Tibetan, are distantly related to the Chinese languages. Others, such as Mongolian, are entirely unrelated.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Some Characteristics of Chinese</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">To us, perhaps the most striking feature of spoken Chinese is the use of variation in tone (&quot;tones&quot;) to distinguish the different meanings of syllables which would otherwise sound alike. All languages, and Chinese is no exception, make use of sentence intonation to indicate how whole sentences are to be understood. In English, for example, the rising pattern in &quot;He’s gone?&quot; tells us that the sentence is meant as a question. The Chinese tones, however, are quite a different matter. They belong to individual syllables, not to the sentence as a whole. An inherent part of each Standard Chinese syllable is one of four distinctive tones. The tone does just as much to distinguish the syllable as do the consonants and vowels. For example, the only difference between the verb &quot;to buy,&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">m&amp;i, </span><span class="font12">and the verb &quot;to sell,&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">mài</span><span class="font12">, is the Low tone (<sup>w</sup>) and the Falling tone (-). And yet these words are just as distinguishable as our words &quot;buy&quot; and &quot;guy,&quot; or &quot;buy&quot; and &quot;boy.&quot; Apart from the tones, the sound system of Standard Chinese is no more different from English than French is.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Word formation in Standard Chinese is relatively simple. For one thing, there are no conjugations such as are found in many European languages. Chinese verbs have fewer forms than English verbs, and nowhere near as many irregularities. Chinese grammar relies heavily on word order and often the word order is the same as in English. For these reasons Chinese is not as difficult for Americans to learn to speak as one might think.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">It is often said that Chinese is a monosyllabic language. This notion contains a good deal of truth. It has been found that, on the average, every other word in ordinary conversation is a single-syllable word. Moreover, although most words in the dictionary have two syllables, and some have more, these words can almost always be broken down into singlesyllable units of meaning, many of which can stand alone as words.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Written Chinese</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Most languages with which we are familiar are written with an alphabet. The letters may be different from ours, as in the Greek alphabet, but the principle is the same: one letter for each consonant or vowel sound, more or less. Chinese, however, is written with &quot;characters&quot; which stand for whole syllables—in fact, for whole syllables with particular meanings. Although there are only about thirteen hundred phonetically distitìct syllables in standard Chinese, there are several thousand Chinese characters in everyday use, essentially one for each single-syllable unit of meaning. This means that many words have the same pronunciation but are written with different characters, as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">tiān,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;sky,&quot; X, and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">tiān,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;to add,&quot; &quot;to increase,&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Chinese characters are often referred to as &quot;ideographs,&quot; which suggests that they stand directly for ideas. But this is misleading. It is better to think of them as standing for the meaningful syllables of the spoken language.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Minimal literacy in Chinese calls for knowing about a thousand characters. These thousand characters, in combination, give a reading vocabulary of several thousand words. Full literacy calls for knowing some three thousand characters. In order to reduce the amount of time needed to learn characters, there has been a vast extension in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) of the principle of character simplification, which has reduced the average number of strokes per character by half.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">During the past century, various systems have been proposed for representing the sounds of Chinese with letters of the Roman alphabet. One of these romanizations, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Hànyǔ Pinyin</span><span class="font12"> (literally &quot;Chinese Language Spelling,&quot; generally called &quot;Pinyin&quot; in English), has been adopted officially in the PRC, with the short-term goal of teaching all students the Standard Chinese pronunciation of characters. A long-range goal is the use of Pinyin for written communication throughout the country. This is not possible, of course, until speakers across the nation have uniform pronunciations of Standard Chinese. For the time being, characters, which represent meaning, not pronunciation, are still the most widely accepted way of communicating in writing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Pinyin uses all of the letters in our alphabet except v, and adds the letter u. The spellings of some of the consonant sounds are rather arbitrary from our point of view, but for every consonant sound there is only one letter or one combination of letters, and vice versa. You will find that each vowel letter can stand for different vowel sounds, depending on what letters precede or follow it in the syllable. The four tones are indicated by accent marks over the vowels, and the Neutral tone by the absence of an accent mark:</span></p>
<p><a href="#bookmark84"><span class="font12">High: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">mā</span><span class="font12"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Falling:</span></a></p>
<p><a href="#bookmark85"><span class="font12">Rising: &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">ma</span><span class="font12"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neutral:</span></a></p>
<p><a href="#bookmark86"><span class="font12">Low:</span></a></p>
<p><span class="font12">One reason often given for the retention of characters is that they can be read, with the local pronunciation, by speakers of all the Chinese languages. Probably a stronger reason for retaining them is that the characters help keep alive distinctions of meaning between words, and connections of meaning between words, which are fading in the spoken language. On the other hand, a Cantonese could learn to speak Standard Chinese, and read it alphabetically, at least as easily as he can learn several thousand characters.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Pinyin is used throughout this course to provide a simple written representation of pronunciation. The characters, which are chiefly responsible for the reputation of Chinese as a difficult language, are taught separately.</span></p>
<h3><a name="bookmark87"></a><span class="font2" style="font-weight:bold;"><a name="bookmark88"></a>BACKGROUND NOTES: ABOUT CHINESE CHARACTERS</span></h3>
<p><span class="font12">Each Chinese character is written as a fixed sequence of strokes. There are very few basic types of strokes, each with its own prescribed direction, length, and contour. The dynamics of these strokes as written with a brush, the classical writing instrument, show up clearly even in printed characters. You can tell from the varying thickness of the stroke how the brush met the paper, how it swooped, and how it lifted; these effects are largely lost in characters written with a ball-point pen.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The sequence of strokes is of particular importance. Let’s take the character for &quot;mouth,&quot; pronounced </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">kou</span><span class="font12">. Here it is as normally written, with the order and directions of the strokes indicated.</span></p><img src="FSI-StandardChinese-Module02BIO-StudentText_files/FSI-StandardChinese-Module02BIO-StudentText-8.png" alt="" style="width:66pt;height:60pt;">
<p><span class="font12">If the character is written rapidly, in &quot;running-style writing,&quot; one stroke glides into the next, like this.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">If the strokes were written in any but the proper order, quite different distortions would take place as each stroke reflected the last and anticipated the next, and the character would be illegible.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The earliest surviving Chinese characters, inscribed on the Shang Dynasty &quot;oracle bones&quot; of about 1500 B.C., already included characters that went beyond simple pictorial representation. There are some characters in use today which are pictorial, like the character for &quot;mouth.&quot; There are also some which are directly symbolic, like our Roman numerals I, II, and III. (The characters for these numbers—the first numbers you learn in this course—are like the Roman numerals turned on their sides.) There are some which are indirectly symbolic, like our Arabic numerals 1, </span><span class="font12" style="font-style:italic;">2,</span><span class="font12"> and 3. But the most common type of character is complex, consisting of two parts: a &quot;phonetic,&quot; which suggests the pronunciation, and a &quot;radical,&quot; which broadly characterizes the meaning. Let’s take the following character as an example.</span></p><img src="FSI-StandardChinese-Module02BIO-StudentText_files/FSI-StandardChinese-Module02BIO-StudentText-9.png" alt="" style="width:59pt;height:69pt;">
<p><span class="font12">This character means &quot;ocean&quot; and is pronounced </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yang</span><span class="font12">. The left side of the character, the three short strokes, is an abbreviation of a character which means &quot;water&quot; and is pronounced </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shul</span><span class="font12">. This is the &quot;radical.&quot; It has been borrowed only for its meaning, &quot;water.&quot; The right side of the character above is a character which means &quot;sheep&quot; and is pronounced </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yang</span><span class="font12">. This is the &quot;phonetic.&quot; It has been borrowed only for its sound value, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yang</span><span class="font12">. A speaker of Chinese encountering the above character for the first time could probably figure out that the only Chinese word that sounds like </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yang </span><span class="font12">and means something like &quot;water&quot; is the word </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yang</span><span class="font12"> meaning &quot;ocean.&quot; We, as speakers of English, might not be able to figure it out. Moreover, phonetics and radicals seldom work as neatly as in this example. But we can still learn to make good use of these hints at sound and sense.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Many dictionaries classify characters in terms of the radicals. According to one of the two dictionary systems used, there are 1?6 radicals; in the other system, there are 21U. There are over a thousand phonetics.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Chinese has traditionally been written vertically, from top to bottom of the page, starting on the right-hand side, with the pages bound so that the first page is where we would expect the last page to be. Nowadays, however, many Chinese publications paginate like Western publications, and the characters are written horizontally, from left to right.</span></p>
<h3><a name="bookmark89"></a><span class="font2" style="font-weight:bold;"><a name="bookmark90"></a>BACKGROUND NOTES: ABOUT CHINESE PERSONAL NAMES AND TITLES</span></h3>
<p><span class="font12">A Chinese personal name consists of two parts: a surname and a given name. There is no middle name. The order is the reverse of ours: surname first, given name last.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The most common pattern for Chinese names is a single-syllable surname followed by a two-syllable given name:<a name="footnote2"></a><sup><a href="#bookmark91">2</a></sup></span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Zhōu Ēnlái (Chou En-lai)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Jiang Jièshí (Chiang Kai-shek)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Song Qìnglíng (Soong Ch’ing-ling—Mme Sun Yat-sen)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Song Měilíng (Soong Mei-ling—Mme Chiang Kai-shek)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">It is not uncommon, however, for the given name to consist of a single syllable:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Zhū De (Chu Teh)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Lin Biāo (Lin Piao)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Hu Shi (Hu Shih)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Jiang Qīng (Chiang Ch’ing—Mme Mao Tse-tung)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">There are a few two-syllable surnames. These are usually followed by single-syllable given names:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Sīmǎ Guāng (Ssu-ma Kuang) Ōuyáng Xiū (Ou-yang Hsiu) Zhūgě Liang (Chu-ke Liang)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">But two-syllable surnames may also be followed by two-syllable given names:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Sīmǎ Xiāngrú (Ssu-ma Hsiang-Ju)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">An exhaustive list of Chinese surnames includes several hundred written with a single character and several dozen written with two characters. Some single-syllable surnames sound exactly alike although written with different characters, and to distinguish them, the Chinese may occasionally have to describe the character or &quot;write&quot; it with a finger on the palm of a hand. But the surnames that you are likely to encounter are fewer than a hundred, and a handful of these are so common that they account for a good majority of China’s population.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Given names, as opposed to surnames, are not restricted to a limited list of characters. Men's names are often but not always distinguishable from women’s; the difference, however, usually lies in the meaning of the characters and so is not readily apparent to the beginning student with a limited knowledge of characters.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Outside the People’s Republic the traditional system of titles is still in use. These titles closely parallel our own &quot;Mr.,&quot; &quot;Mrs.,&quot; and &quot;Miss.&quot; Notice, however, that all Chinese titles follow the name—either the full name or the surname alone—rather than preceding it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The title &quot;Mr.&quot; is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiānsheng</span><span class="font12">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Xiānsheng</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">JIS Mínglī Xiānsheng</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The title &quot;Mrs.&quot; is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tàitai</span><span class="font12">. It follows the husband’s full name or surname alone.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Tàitai</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Mínglī Tàitai</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The title &quot;Miss&quot; is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiǎojiě</span><span class="font12">. The MS family’s grown daughter, Défēn, would be</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Mǎ Xiǎojiě</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Défēn XiSojiě</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Even traditionally, outside the People’s Republic, a married woman does not take her husband’s name in the same sense as in our culture. If Miss Fang BSolán marries Mr. MS Mínglī, she becomes Mrs. MS Mínglī, but at the same time she remains Fāng BSolán. She does not become MS BSolán; there is no equivalent of &quot;Mrs. Mary Smith.&quot; She may, however, add her husband’s surname to her own full name and refer to herself as Mǎ Fāng BSolán. At work she is quite likely to continue as Miss Fāng.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">These customs regarding names are still observed by many Chinese today in various parts of the world. The titles carry certain connotations, however, when used in the PRC today: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tàitai</span><span class="font12"> should not be used because it designates that woman as a member of the leisure class. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiǎojiě</span><span class="font12"> should not be used because it carries the connotation of being from a rich family.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">In the People’s Republic, the title &quot;Comrade,&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tongzhì</span><span class="font12">, is used in place of the titles </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiānsheng</span><span class="font12">, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tàitai</span><span class="font12">, and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiǎojiě</span><span class="font12">. Mǎ Mínglī would be</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Tongzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Mǎ Mínglī Tongzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The title ’’Comrade&quot; is applied to all, regardless of sex or marital status. A married'-woman does not take her husband’s name in any sense. MS Mínglí’s wife would be</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Fang Tóngzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Fang Bǎolán Tóngzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Children may be given either the mother’s or the father’s surname at birth. In some families one child has the father's surname, and another child has the mother’s surname. MS MÍnglī’s and Fang BSolán's grown daughter could be</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Tóngzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">MS Défēn Tóngzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Their grown son could be</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Fang Tóngzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Fang Zìqiáng Tóngzhì</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Both in the PRC and elsewhere, of course, there are official titles and titles of respect in addition to the common titles we have discussed here. Several of these will be introduced later in the course.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The question of adapting foreign names to Chinese calls for special consideration. In the People’s Republic the policy is to assign Chinese phonetic equivalents to foreign names. These approximations are often not as close phonetically as they might be, since the choice of appropriate written characters may bring in nonphonetic considerations. (An attempt is usually made when transliterating to use characters with attractive meanings.) For the most part, the resulting names do not at all resemble Chinese names. For example, the official version of &quot;David Anderson&quot; is Dàiwéi Andésēn.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">An older approach, still in use outside the PRC, is to construct a valid Chinese name that suggests the foreign name phonetically. For example, &quot;David Anderson&quot; might be An Dàwèi.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Sometimes, when a foreign surname has the same meaning as a Chinese surname, semantic suggestiveness is chosen over phonetic suggestiveness. For example, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Wang</span><span class="font12">, a common Chinese surname, means &quot;king,&quot; so &quot;Daniel King&quot; might be rendered Wang Dànián.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Students in this course will be given both the official PRC phonetic equivalents of their names and Chinese-style names.</span></p>
<h2><a name="bookmark39"></a><span class="font5" style="font-weight:bold;"><a name="bookmark92"></a>MODULE 2: BIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION</span></h2>
<p><span class="font12">The Biographic Information Module provides you with linguistic and cultural skills needed for a simple conversation typical of a first-meeting situation in China. These skills include those needed at the beginning of a conversation (greetings, introductions, and forms of address), in the middle of a conversation (understanding and answering questions about yourself and your immediate family), and at the end of a conversation (leave-taking).</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Before starting this module, you must take and pass the ORN Criterion Test. The resource modules Pronunciation and Romanization and Numbers (tapes 1-1») are also prerequisites to the BIO Module.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The Criterion Test will focus largely on this module, but material from Module 1 and associated resource modules may also be included.</span></p>
<p><span class="font3" style="font-weight:bold;">OBJECTIVES</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Upon successful completion of the module, the student should be able to</span></p>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">1. Pronounce correctly any word from the Target Lists of ORN or BIO, properly distinguishing sounds and tones, using the proper stress and neutral tones, and making the necessary tone changes.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">2. Pronounce correctly any sentence from the BIO Target Lists, with proper pauses and intonation, that is, without obscuring the tones with English intonation.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">3. Use polite formulas in asking and answering questions about identity (name), health, age, and other basic information.</span></p></li></ul>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">h. Reply to questions with the Chinese equivalents of &quot;yes” and &quot;no.”</span></p></li></ul>
<ul style="list-style:none;"><li>
<p><span class="font12">5. Ask and answer questions about families, including who the members are, how old they are, and where they are.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">6. Ask and answer questions about a stay in China, including the date of arrival, location-purpose-duration of stay, previous visits, traveling companions, and date of departure.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">7. Ask and answer questions about work or study—identification of occupation, the location, and the duration.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">8. Give the English equivalent for any Chinese sentence in the BIO Target Lists.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">9. Be able to say any Chinese sentence in the BIO Target Lists when cued with its English equivalent.</span></p></li>
<li>
<p><span class="font12">10. Take part in a short Chinese conversation, using expressions included in the BIO Target List sentences.</span></p></li></ul>

<p><span class="font12">The verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhù</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to live,&quot; or &quot;to reside,&quot; may be used to mean &quot;to stay at&quot; (temporary residence) or &quot;to live in&quot; (permanent residence).</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Zhù zai nār</span><span class="font12"> literally means &quot;live at where.&quot; The verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;to be in/ at/on,” is used here as a preposition, &quot;at.&quot; It loses its tone in this position in a sentence.

<p><span class="font12">Both question words are in the Low tone, while the other four words are in the Falling tone.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Many people pronounce the words for &quot;which?&quot; &quot;that,&quot; and &quot;this&quot; with the usual vowels for &quot;where?&quot; &quot;there,&quot; and &quot;here&quot;: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nǎge</span><span class="font12">? </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nàge</span><span class="font12">, and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhège</span><span class="font12">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Bù</span><span class="font12">: A short negative answer is usually formed by bù plus a repetition of the verb used in the question.

Notice that when used by itself </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12"> is in the Falling tone, but when followed by a Falling-tone syllable </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12"> is ih the Rising tone.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes on No. 8</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Name as greeting</span><span class="font12">: A greeting may consist simply of a person's name: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Wang Tóngzhì!</span><span class="font12"> &quot;Comrade Wáng!&quot; The name may also be used with a greeting phrase: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Wáng Tóngzhì! Nín zāo</span><span class="font12">. &quot;Comrade Wáng! Good morning.&quot;--or, in reverse order, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nín zāo. Wang Tóngzhì!</span><span class="font12"> &quot;Good morning. Comrade Wáng!&quot; The name is pronounced as an independent exclamation acknowledging that person's presence and status. It is not de-emphasized like &quot;Comrade Wáng&quot; in the English sentence &quot;Good morning, Comrade Wáng.&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nín zāo</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;good morning&quot;—literally, &quot;you are early.&quot; You may also say either </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nì zāo</span><span class="font12"> or simply </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zāo</span><span class="font12">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nushì</span><span class="font12">, &quot;Ms.,&quot; is a formal, respectful title for a married or unmarried woman. It is used after a woman's own surname, not her husband's. Traditionally, this title was used for older, educated, and accomplished women. In the PRC, where people use </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tóngzhì,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;Comrade,&quot; in general only foreign women are referred to and addressed as (so-and-so) </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nushì</span><span class="font12">. On Taiwan, however, any woman may be called (so-and-so) </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nushì</span><span class="font12"> in a formal context, such as a speech or an invitation.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nín hāo</span><span class="font12">: This greeting may be said either with or without a question marker, just as in English we say &quot;How </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">are</span><span class="font12"> you?&quot; as a question or &quot;How are you&quot; as a simple greeting.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Nǐ hāo ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How are you?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Nì hāo. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How are you.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Also Just as in English, you may respond to the greeting by repeating it rather than giving an answer.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Lì Tóngzhì! </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nín hāo</span><span class="font12">. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Comrade Lì! </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">How are you</span><span class="font12">.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">Literally, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">hSn</span><span class="font12"> means ’’very.&quot; The word often accompanies adjectival verbs (like </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">h&amp;o</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to be good&quot;), adding little to their meaning.

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">How to identify yourself</span><span class="font12">: You have now learned several ways to introduce yourself.

Here are some other ways:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">W8 shi MS Mínglì. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am MS Mínglì.</span></p>

There are certain reasons for the inclusion or omission of -de. If a close relationship exists between the possessor and the possessed, the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-de</span><span class="font12"> might not be used. If a phrase is long and complex, as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Lī Xiānsheng péngyoude tàitai</span><span class="font12">, the marker -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">de</span><span class="font12"> is used to separate the possessor from the possessed.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">But these are not hard and fast rules. The use or omission of -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">de</span><span class="font12"> is not determined solely by the number of syllables in a phrase or by the closeness between the possessor and the possessed, although both of these considerations do play a big part in the decision.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">While some common nouns are usually used without </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-de</span><span class="font12"> before them, most nouns are more likely to be preceded by -de, and many even require it. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Dìzhl</span><span class="font12">, &quot;address,” is the only noun you have learned which REQUIRES the possessive marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-de</span><span class="font12"> added to the possessor. But other nouns such as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Jiá</span><span class="font12"> are not always preceded by -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">de.</span><span class="font12"> This is also the case with nouns indicating personal relationships, like </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">fùmǔ,</span><span class="font12"> ’’father,&quot; and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">tàitai, </span><span class="font12">&quot;wife.&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Pěngyou,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;friend,&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">xuésheng</span><span class="font12">, &quot;student,&quot; and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">l&amp;oshl</span><span class="font12">, &quot;student.&quot; are commonly used without -de, but may also be used with the marker.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">You might expect the question </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nī péngyoude dìzhl shi...?</span><span class="font12"> to be completed with a word such as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shénme</span><span class="font12">. &quot;what.<sup>11</sup>However, the incomplete form given in this exchange, with the voice trailing off, inviting completion, is also commonly used.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">Ba is a marker for a question which expresses the speaker's supposition as to what the answer will be. It is the type of question which asks for a confirmation from the listener.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">There are three ways to translate the two questions in exchanges 6 and 7 into English:</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">That is the Ambassador Hotel, isn’t it?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">That must be the Ambassador Hotel.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Each translation reflects a different degree of certainty on the part of the speaker. (While the differences in certainty are expressed in English by variation in wording, they can be expressed in Chinese by intonation.)

<p><span class="font12">The sentence </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā zài Táinán gōngzuò</span><span class="font12"> seems to have two verbs: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;to be in/at/on,&quot; and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">gōngzuò</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to work.&quot; But there is only one verb in the translation: &quot;He works in Tainan.&quot; The translation reflects the fact that </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài</span><span class="font12"> loses its full verb status in this sentence and plays a role like that of the English preposition &quot;in.&quot; The </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài</span><span class="font12"> phrase in Chinese, like the &quot;in&quot; phrase in English, gives more information about the main verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">gōngzuò</span><span class="font12">; that is, it tells where the action takes place. &quot;He works,&quot; and the work takes place &quot;in Tainan.&quot; In sentences like this, the word </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài</span><span class="font12"> is a prepositional verb. Most relationships expressed by prepositions in English are expressed by prepositional verbs in Chinese.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">You have also seen </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài</span><span class="font12"> used as a prepositional verb in the sentence </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Ni zhù zài náli?</span><span class="font12"> &quot;Where do you live?&quot;—literally, &quot;You live at where?&quot; Notice that in this sentence the prepositional verb phrase </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài náli</span><span class="font12"> comes after the main verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhù</span><span class="font12">. In the sentence </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Ni zài náli gōngzuò?</span><span class="font12"> the prepo-sitional verb phrase</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">&quot;zeti náli</span><span class="font12"> comes before the main verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">gōngzuò</span><span class="font12">. Many things, such as stress, contrast, and other objects in the sentence, can influence the order of the prepositional verb phrase and the main verb. In some cases, either order may be used, as in </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Ni zài náli zhù?</span><span class="font12"> or </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Ni zhù zài náli?</span><span class="font12"> In other cases, the word order is fixed, as in </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">NI zài náli gōngzuò?&quot;</span><span class="font12"> For text examples, it will be pointed out whether or not the word order may be changed, and the reasons will be given.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā bú zài Táiběi gōngzuò</span><span class="font12">, &quot;He doesn't work in Taipei&quot;: In this sentence, the negative adverb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12"> comes before the prepositional verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài </span><span class="font12">(which starts the complete predicate </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài Táiběi gōngzuò</span><span class="font12">). not before the main verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">gōngzuò</span><span class="font12">.

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Haizi</span><span class="font12">: Chinese nouns have the same form for singular and plural. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Háizi</span><span class="font12"> may be either &quot;child&quot; or &quot;children.&quot;<a name="footnote7"></a><sup><a href="#bookmark115">7</a></sup> Usually the context will make clear whether a noun should be translated as singular or as plural, but not always.

When you ask </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nimen ySu háizi ma? </span><span class="font12">you do not, after all, know whether you are referring to one child or to more than one child.

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes on Nos. 3-H</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">In Peking speech, jī~, ”how many,” is usually used only when the number expected in an answer'is about 10 or less. In many other parts of China, speakers use </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">jī-</span><span class="font12"> no matter how large a number is expected in the answer.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Counters</span><span class="font12">: In Chinese, a noun cannot be counted or specified (i.e., used with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">něi-</span><span class="font12">, &quot;which,&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nèi-</span><span class="font12">, &quot;that,&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhèi-</span><span class="font12">, &quot;this&quot;) without the addition of a bound word, a counter, to indicate the sort of thing being specified or counted. English has a few such counters, as &quot;head&quot; in &quot;how many head of cattle&quot; and &quot;loaves&quot; in &quot;seven loaves of bread.&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The counter used in a particular instance depends on the noun being specified or counted. Many nouns have special counters. You have already learned the polite counter for persons, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-wèi</span><span class="font12">. Other special counters refer in some way to the kind of thing the noun represents. The word for &quot;hotel,&quot; for instance, has a special counter </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-jiā,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;house,&quot; used for counting or specifying business establishments.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The general counter -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">ge</span><span class="font12"> is used with nouns that do not have special counters. For example, there is no special counter for the word </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">pùbù, </span><span class="font12">&quot;waterfall,&quot; so you would say </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yíge pubù,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;one waterfall.&quot; You have already found the general counter -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">ge</span><span class="font12"> in specifying expressions such as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">neige háizi</span><span class="font12">, &quot;which child,&quot; and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhèige fàndiàn</span><span class="font12">, &quot;this hotel.&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">You may find that, in colloquial speech, nouns that have special counters are sometimes used with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-ge</span><span class="font12"> anyway, but this tendency is looked down upon by many speakers.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Here are the numbers 1 through 10 with the counter -ge:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">yíge, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">liǎngg</span><span class="font12">e, sānge, sìge, wǔge, liùge, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">qíg</span><span class="font12">e, báge, jiǔge, shíge</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The number 2 has a special form before a counter: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">liǎng-</span><span class="font12">. Notice that the words for 1, 7, and 8 have Rising tones before -ge, because </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-ge</span><span class="font12"> is basically a Falling-tone syllable. (See also Unit 5, notes on No. 9 and No. 10.)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nan-</span><span class="font12">, nu~: The bound words </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nán-</span><span class="font12">, &quot;male,&quot; and nu~, &quot;female^&quot; are often used in compounds; for example, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nánpéngyou</span><span class="font12">, &quot;boyfriend,&quot; and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">nutǒngzhì</span><span class="font12">, &quot;(woman) Comrade.&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">&quot;</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">And&quot;</span><span class="font12">: In Chinese, a word for &quot;and&quot; is not needed between parallel phrases like </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">liāngge nánháizi, yíge nuháizi</span><span class="font12">, &quot;two boys, (and) one girl.&quot; A pause is usual between the two phrases, but even the pause is sometimes omitted.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Shi nánháizi, shi nuháizi?</span><span class="font12"> In Chinese, an &quot;or&quot; question (i.e., a question asking which of two alternatives is true) may be asked simply by stating the two alternatives with a pause between. In this kind of &quot;or&quot; question, the verb must appear in each alternative. (You will learn other ways of making &quot;or&quot; questions in later modules.)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Dōu</span><span class="font12"> may usually be translated in a sentence as &quot;all (of),&quot; or, if it refers to only two things, as &quot;both (of).&quot; Literally, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">dōu</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;in all cases,&quot; &quot;uniformly,&quot; &quot;entirely,&quot; &quot;completely.&quot; Since it is an adverb, it must be placed after the subject of a sentence and before the verb (like the adverb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yě</span><span class="font12">, &quot;also&quot;).</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes on Nos. 8-9</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Literally, the phrase </span><span class="font12" style="font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">ni</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;"> jiāli</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;in your home&quot; (</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">jiā</span><span class="font12">, &quot;home&quot;; -11, &quot;in&quot;). In this sentence it is extended to mean &quot;the people in your home,&quot; that is, &quot;your family.&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nī jiāli - you - shénme rén?</span><span class="font12"> Phrase by phrase, this question is: &quot;In your family - there are - what people?&quot; The word &quot;family&quot; can be taken to mean either all your relatives or only those living in your household.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">By itself, the verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">you</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;to be,&quot; &quot;to exist.” You have now seen it translated two ways: 1) as &quot;have,&quot; with a personal subject: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Women ^ǒ</span><span class="font12">u </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">sānge háizi</span><span class="font12">. &quot;We </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">have</span><span class="font12"> three children.&quot; 2) as &quot;there is/are,&quot; in the so-called impersonal construction: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Nī Jiāli yǒu,shénme rén?</span><span class="font12"> &quot;What people </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">are </span><span class="font12">(</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">there</span><span class="font12">) in your family?&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">In exchange 8, the verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yǒu</span><span class="font12"> in the answer is translated as &quot;there’s.&quot; Some English speakers may find this translation too colloquial. The answer can also be translated Just by listing the family members, with no verb in the English, as was done in exchange 9- Chinese almost always keeps the verb in the answer to a question, while English tends to leave it out.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">How to say &quot;and&quot;</span><span class="font12">: Chinese has several words for &quot;and.&quot; </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Gēn</span><span class="font12"> is the word for &quot;and&quot; when joining nouns or noun phrases. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Yě</span><span class="font12"> is the word for &quot;and&quot; when joining verbs, verb phrases, or whole sentences:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Wǒ bú xìng Lī, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yě</span><span class="font12"> bú xìng Lǔ. Wǒ xìng Lu.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">(I'm not surnamed Līj </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">and</span><span class="font12"> I'm not surnamed Lǔ. I'm surnamed Lu.)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Chinese tends to use a word for &quot;and&quot; when the noun phrases being Joined are not parallel and not to use one when the phrases are parallel:</span></p>

The, use of to mean &quot;only is probably mostly confined to the Peking dialect.<a name="footnote8"></a><sup><a href="#bookmark116">8</a></sup> Speakers from other parts of the country will not necessarily use </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Jiù</span><span class="font12"> to mean &quot;only&quot; or understand it as such. A more widely used and understood word for &quot;only&quot; is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhī</span><span class="font12">.

<p><span class="font12">These sentences refer to future time, but </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">lái</span><span class="font12"> is not a future-tense form. Strictly speaking, Chinese verbs do not have tenses. The same form of the verb can be used in present, past, and future contexts.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">We translated the sentence </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā zài Táinán gōngzuò</span><span class="font12"> as ”He </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">works</span><span class="font12"> in Tainan,&quot; assuming a present context. But in a past context we could translate it as &quot;He </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">worked</span><span class="font12"> in Tainan&quot;; and in a future context we could translate it as &quot;He </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">will work</span><span class="font12"> in Tainan.&quot; The verb form </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">gōngzuò</span><span class="font12"> does not tell you what time is being talked about. You have to look elsewhere for that information, perhaps to a time expression like &quot;last year&quot; or &quot;now&quot; or &quot;tomorrow,&quot; or to the conversational setting.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">2. A: Nī àiren lái le ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Has your wife come?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">B: Lái le, tā lái le. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, she has come.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes on No. 2</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Aspect</span><span class="font12">: Le is an aspect marker. Through the use of </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> and other one-syllable markers (de, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhe, ne</span><span class="font12">, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12">), the Chinese language indicates whether the occurrence being talked about is completed, ongoing, about to occur, or experienced for the first time. Aspect markers may also be used to indicate whether the whole situation in the sentence is a new, changed situation.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">&quot;Completion&quot; and &quot;new situation&quot; are not tenses but aspects. Aspect is a way of talking about events or activities in relation to time. While tenses categorize action in terms of features such as completedness and change. Aspect markers are very different from tense markers because the same aspect may be used in past, present, and future contexts.. We may speak of an action that will be completed as of a future time, for example, or of a situation that was new as of a past time. English communicates these ideas to a certain extent through the use of many different tenses for the verb (future perfect, simple past, etc.). Chinese does this through the use of aspect markers and time words. The verbs themselves do not change form.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Le</span><span class="font12"> is used in exchange 2 to indicate two aspects—completion and new situation, (it is, however, often used to indicate only one aspect.) Here, it indicates that the person has come, meaning that the action is completed, and that the person is now here, a changed situation. When the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> refers to both these aspects, we call it &quot;combined </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12">.&quot; Combined </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> can be thought of as a telescoping of the completion </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> followed by a new-situation le: </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le le</span><span class="font12"> becomes </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12">. In the next two units, you will see the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> used to indicate each of these aspects separately.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">Tā láile méiyou? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Did he come?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">and you would he answered either</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā láile. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He came.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">or</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā méi lái. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He didn't come.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">In this question and answer, you use </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> or its negative </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">méi(you)</span><span class="font12"> because the focus is on whether the action took place or not.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The purpose of the </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">(shi)... de</span><span class="font12"> construction, on the other hand, is to focus on additional information about a completed action; that is, the construction is used when the center of interest is NOT whether or not a certain action took place. For example, once it has been established that Mr. Sun did in fact come, the </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">(shi)... de</span><span class="font12"> construction will probably be used for any additional questions and answers about his coming. For example:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā shi shénme shíhou láide? When did he come?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā shi zuótiān láide. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He came yesterday.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā shi yíge rén láide ma? Did he come alone? Tā shi yíge rén láide. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He came alone.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">These questions and answers use the </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">(shi)... de</span><span class="font12"> construction because you already know that Mr. Sun came and now you are asking for additional information about his visit. Many types of additional information can be focus points for which the </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">(shi)... de</span><span class="font12"> construction is used. In </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā shi shénme shíhou láide?</span><span class="font12"> the additional information is the time when something happens. In </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā shi yíge rén láide ma?</span><span class="font12"> the information asked for is the manner in which something takes place. Other possible focus points are place, cause of action, goal of action, and performer of action.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Now let’s take a look at how </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12"> and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">de</span><span class="font12"> function separately in this construction. The verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12">, coming before the phrase which is the center of interest, serves as a signal that what follows is emphasized. The verb ”to be&quot; is often used in a similar way in English to mark the center of interest:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12"> zuótiān láide ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Was</span><span class="font12"> it yesterday that he came?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Another way of showing the center of interest in English is by word stress. Here is a comparison between focusing in Chinese with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">(shi)... de</span><span class="font12"> and focusing in English with stress:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā lái le ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Has he come?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Lái le. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, he has.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12"> zuótiān láide ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Did he come YESTERDAY?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Shi, tā </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12"> zuótiān láide. Yes, YESTERDAY.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The marker de coming after the verb indicates completion. When the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">de</span><span class="font12"> is not used in the sentence, that sentence no longer describes a completed event. The marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12"> by itself emphasizes something about the action. Compare these sentences:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā shi jintiān lái. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She is coming (later) today.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā shi Jintiān láide. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She came (earlier) today.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">For the time being, you will not use </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shi</span><span class="font12"> without </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">de</span><span class="font12">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The negative form of the </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">(shi)... de</span><span class="font12"> construction is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bú shi...de. </span><span class="font12">Compare this with the negatives you have already learned:</span></p>

The question is appropriate for asking the age of a child or a young adult, but the expression is not considered polite enough for asking an older adult his age.

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Completion le</span><span class="font12">: Here you see the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> used to indicate one aspect, completion. Compare a sentence with one </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> to a sentence with two le's:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">W5 zài nàr zhùle sāntiān. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I stayed there three days.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Wō zài zhèr zhùle sāntiān le. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have &quot;been here (stayed here) for</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">three days now (so far).</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Completion </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> is used with verbs that describe actions or processes, not with verbs that describe a state or condition, or a continuing situation. The following sentences, describing states or ongoing situations, have past-tense verbs in English but no </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> in Chinese.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Verb types in Chinese</span><span class="font12">: In studying some languages, it is important to learn whether a noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter. In Chinese, it is important to learn whether a verb is an action, state, or process verb. These three verb categories are meaning (semantic) groups. A verb is a member of one group or another depending on the meaning of the verb. For instance, &quot;running&quot; and &quot;dancing&quot; are actions; &quot;being good&quot; and &quot;being beautiful&quot; are states; and &quot;getting sick&quot; and &quot;melting&quot; are processes. In Chinese, grammatical rules are applied differently to each semantic verb category. For the most part, you have learned only action and state verbs in this course; so these comments will be confined to those two verb categories. (See Unit 8 of this module for process verbs.)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Action verbs</span><span class="font12">: These are verbs which describe physical and mental activities. The easiest to classify are verbs of movement such as &quot;walking,&quot; &quot;running,&quot; and &quot;riding&quot;; however, action verbs also include verbs with not too much motion, such as &quot;working&quot; and &quot;writing,&quot; and verbs with no apparent motion, such as &quot;studying.&quot; One test for determining if a verb is an action is asking &quot;What did he do?&quot; &quot;He arrived,&quot; &quot;He spoke,&quot; and &quot;He listened&quot; are answers which contain action verbs. &nbsp;&quot;He knew,&quot; &quot;He</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">wanted,&quot; and &quot;He is here&quot; are answers which contain state verbs, not action</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">verbs. Some of the action verbs you have learned are:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">dào (to arrive) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lái (to come)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">gōngzuò (to work) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;zhù (to live, to stay)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">State verbs</span><span class="font12">: These verbs describe qualities, conditions, and states. All adjectival verbs, such as hao, &quot;to be good,&quot; and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">jiǔ</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to be long (in time),&quot; are state verbs. Emotions, such as &quot;being happy&quot; and &quot;being sad,&quot; are expressed with state verbs. &quot;Knowing,&quot; &quot;liking,&quot; &quot;wanting,&quot; and &quot;understanding,&quot; which may be called<sup>1</sup> mental states, are also expressed with state verbs. Also, all auxiliary verbs, such as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">xiāng</span><span class="font12">. &quot;to want to,&quot; &quot;would like to,&quot; are state verbs. Here are some of the state verbs:</span></p>
<div>
<p><span class="font12">dà (to be large) duì (to be correct) xìng (to be surnamed) xiāng (to want to)</span></p>
</div><br clear="all">

<p><span class="font12">The aspect marker -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> means literally &quot;to pass over,&quot; &quot;to cross over.&quot; The implication is that an event took place and then ceased at some time in the past.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">It may help you to conceptualize -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> in terms of a bridge. The whole bridge is the event. The marker -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> stresses the fact that not only have you crossed over the bridge but at present you are no longer standing on it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">The meaning of -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> changes slightly depending on what type of verb it is used with: action or process, (-</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> may not be used with state verbs.) With an action verb, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-guo</span><span class="font12"> means that the action took place and then ceased at some time before the present. With a process verb, -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> means that the process took place and that the state which resulted from the process ended at some time before the present.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Remember that aspect markers like </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> and -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> are used only when the speaker feels it necessary to stress some feature or aspect of an event. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Le</span><span class="font12"> is used to stress finishing, or completion, -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> is used to stress that a situation occurred in the past and was &quot;over&quot; or &quot;undone&quot; before the time of speaking (that is, the absence of that situation followed the situation).</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Let’s contrast -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> with completion </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12">: Both </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> and -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> express completion, but -</span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">guo</span><span class="font12"> stresses that an action is no longer being performed, or that a state resulting from a process no longer exists. For example, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā lái le</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;He came&quot; or &quot;He has come,&quot; not indicating whether or not he is still there. But </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā láiguo</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;He came&quot; with the specification that he is not there anymore—that is, he came and left.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">One of the uses of the aspect marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-guo</span><span class="font12">.is in sentences which express experience or having'experienced something at least once in the past, that is, &quot;to have had the experience of doing something.&quot; This is how </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-guo</span><span class="font12"> is used in exchange 11. In a question, the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">-guo</span><span class="font12"> can be reflected by the English word &quot;ever,&quot; and in a negative statement by &quot;never.&quot;</span></p>

For example, you can </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">xué</span><span class="font12"> history, economics, a language, piano, and tennis-. On the other hand, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">niàn</span><span class="font12"> is used for &quot;study&quot; in the sense of taking a course or courses in a field of knowledge. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Niàn</span><span class="font12"> is not used for a skill.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">In some contexts, the verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">xué</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;to learn.&quot; The following sentence may be interpreted two ways, depending on the situation.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Wō zài Mèiguo yījīng xuéguo. I learned it in America.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">(e.g., how to use chopsticks)</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">(e.g., the Chinese language)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Zhōngwén</span><span class="font12"> is used for either the Chinese spoken language or the written language, including literature. In general, use </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">xué</span><span class="font12"> for &quot;learning&quot; to speak Chinese and </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">niàn</span><span class="font12"> for &quot;studying&quot; Chinese literature.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes on Nos. 7-8</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Hui</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to know how to,&quot; &quot;can,&quot; is an auxiliary verb. It is used before the main verb to express an attitude toward the action or to express the potential of action. </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiang</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to want to,&quot; &quot;would like to,&quot; is also an auxiliary verb. &quot;Should,&quot; &quot;must,&quot; and &quot;may&quot; are other examples of auxiliary verbs. All auxiliary verbs in Chinese are state verbs, which means that </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12"> is always used to make them negative. Auxiliary verbs never take the aspect marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> for completed action, regardless of whether you are talking about past, present, or future.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā qunián bú huì shuō Yīngwén. He couldn’t speak English last year.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">When the marker </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font12"> is used, it is the aspect marker for new situations.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā qunián bú huì shuō Yíngwén, Last year he couldn’t speak English, xiànzài huì le. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but now he can.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Wo huì shuō yìdiǎn</span><span class="font12">, &quot;I can speak a little&quot;: The word </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">yìdiǎn</span><span class="font12">, literally &quot;a dot,&quot; functions as a noun. It is used in a sentence to mean &quot;a little bit&quot; where a noun object, such as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Yìngwen</span><span class="font12">, &quot;English,&quot; might be used.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Yìdiǎn</span><span class="font12"> may not be used directly after an auxiliary verb, which must be followed by another verb.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Shuō</span><span class="font12">, &quot;to speak,&quot; &quot;to talk,&quot; is another example of a verb which must always have an object.<a name="footnote13"></a><sup><a href="#bookmark152">13</a></sup> </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Shuō</span><span class="font12"> must be followed by either</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">(1) the general object </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">huà</span><span class="font12">, &quot;words,&quot; in which case the meaning of </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">shuō huà</span><span class="font12"> is simply &quot;to speak,&quot; &quot;to talk,” as in </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Tā hái méi shuō huà</span><span class="font12">, &quot;He hasn’t yet spoken&quot;</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">OR</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">(?) a specific object such as the name of a language.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Bú huì</span><span class="font12">: The short yes/no answer to a question containing the auxiliary verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">huì</span><span class="font12"> is formed with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">huì</span><span class="font12"> rather than with the main verb.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Zhōngguo huà</span><span class="font12">: This expression refers only to the spoken language, in contrast to </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Zhōngwén</span><span class="font12">, which refers to both the spoken and written language.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">9• A: Hide Zhōngguo huà hen hǎo. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your Chinese is very good.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes on No. 9</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Literally, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">náli</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;where.&quot; As a reply to a compliment, we have translated </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">náli</span><span class="font12"> as &quot;not at all.&quot; Jn China, it has traditionally been considered proper and a matter of course to deny any compliment received, no matter how much truth there is to it. Many people still regard </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">xièxie</span><span class="font12">, &quot;thank you,&quot; as an immodest reply to a compliment, since that would amount to agreeing that the compliment was completely correct.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Jiù</span><span class="font12">, &quot;only&quot;: As was noted in Unit 3, notes on Nos. 8-9, </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">jiù</span><span class="font12"> meaning &quot;only&quot;is not as widely understood as </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhī</span><span class="font12">.

In this unit, you learn one way to express the duration of an activity which involves using both a verb and an object (e.g., &quot;studying economics&quot;). In such cases, the verb appears twice in the sentence: first when the object is stated, and again when the duration is stated.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">The verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bìng,</span><span class="font12"> &quot;to get sick,&quot; &quot;to become ill,&quot; is a process verb; that ìb, the activity described includes some changes in the situation. Process verbs tell of an action which has caused a change from one state to another, as from whole to broken (&quot;to break&quot;) and from frozen to melted (&quot;to melt&quot;). </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">Bing</span><span class="font12"> is typical of process verbs: not only is an action described (coming down with an illness) but also a resulting state (being ill). Because of this typical combination, process verbs are sometimes thought of as combining the semantic characteristics of action and state verbs.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">One of the main purposes of talking about verbs in terms of action, state, and process is to draw attention to the fact that the Chinese way o£ expressing something may not correspond to the English. For instance, &quot;I am sick&quot; in Chinese is </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">W5 bìng le</span><span class="font12"> (&quot;I have gotten sick&quot;). For &quot;I am not sick,&quot; you say </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">WS méi bìng</span><span class="font12"> (&quot;I didn't get sick&quot;).</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Process verbs are always made negative with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">méi</span><span class="font12">, regardless of whether you are referring to past, present, or future.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Nì bìng le méiyou? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you sick?</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Méiyou. WS méi bìng. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No. I'm not sick.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">(State verbs are always made negative with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12">.)</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Another reason for putting verbs into categories according to the type of meaning is to discover how verbs behave in sentences. Knowing whether a verb is in the action, state, or process category, you will know what aspect markers and negatives may be used with that verb. In the following charts, a check mark means that this combination of verb and aspect occurs in the language.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">Notice that only action verbs use the whole range of negatives to mark the negative of future or present action, completed action, or new situations. State verbs use the negative prefix </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12"> even when referring to past states. Process verbs use the negative prefix </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">méi</span><span class="font12"> even when referring to something in the present.</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">If you find a verb occurring with a negative or an aspect marker you had not expected, you might discuss with your teacher how the verb behaves in terms of these charts. You might discover that what you thought was a state verb is actually a process verb, or vice versa.</span></p>

When such a verb becomes a process verb, it takes on a different meaning. While the state verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">hāo</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;to be good&quot; or &quot;to be well,&quot; the process verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">hāo</span><span class="font12"> means &quot;to get better,&quot; &quot;to recover.&quot; Compare these sentences:</span></p>
<p><span class="font12">Tā hāo. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's in good health.</span></p>

<p><span class="font12">The difference between the state verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">hāo</span><span class="font12"> and the process verb </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">hāo</span><span class="font12"> is even more evident in negative sentences. State verbs, as you remember, are made negative only with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">bù</span><span class="font12">. Process verbs are made negative only with </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">méi </span><span class="font12">or </span><span class="font12" style="text-decoration:underline;">hái méi</span><span class="font12">.</span></p>
