明治維新後、日本は近代的な統一国家を目指し、ことばの地域差・階層差を解消するため「国語」を創始する。「国語」は国民統合の名の下に方言を抑圧し、帝国日本の膨張とともに植民地・占領地にも普及が図られていく。この「国語」を創り、国家の国語政策に深く関与したのが、国語学者であった。仮名文字化、ローマ字化、伝統重視派、普及促進派などの論争を通し、国家とともに歩んだ「国語」と国語学者たちの戦前・戦後を追う。

本书是2014年在北京举行的互动语言学和汉语研究学术讨论会论文集。这次讨论会是中国内地首次以“互动语言学”为主题进行的学术讨论会，由《中国语文》编辑部和中国人民大学文学院联合主办，来自中国内地以及美国、加拿大和中国香港地区的三十余位学者参加。本书由《中国语文》编辑部方梅老师主编，收录了包括沈家煊、王洪君、乐耀、方梅、陶红印等十几位语言学专家学者的共计18篇文章，文章集中展现了近年来互动语言学与汉语研究的科研成果。

在西方和中国，都有源远流长的文本解释的传统。从某种意义上说，人类学术的发展，就是一个不断地对经典文本的阐释的过程。本书分为十讲，所讨论的不是哲学层面的所谓“本体论阐释学”，而是文学批评层面的“方法论阐释学”。故书中着重介绍中国自先秦以来的关于文学作品解释的传统，力图将文学阐释的观念、方法与诗歌的注释形式、文集的编纂方式结合起来考察，从中见出某种共同的“阐释学眼光”。

义都语是中国语言和民族历史文化中非常宝贵的资源，无论从语言本体来看还是从历史文化来看，人类学家和语言学家都相当关注该语言族群相关族群的状况。据藏族历史记载和民族学家考察，义都人很可能是早期从西藏林芝地区或昌都地区南迁到察隅丹巴江地区的，但也有学者认为他们来自邻近的缅甸等地。他们的族源、文化都留下很多谜团。由于义都人居住地区处在崇山峻岭、高山峡谷之中，交通极为不便，因此多年来学者们很难深入其间一探究竟。
本书的体例是按照丛书约定的格式撰写的，语音、词汇和语法的编写基本都属于结构主义方法。如词法部分，采用偏正、动宾、动补、主谓、联合这些句法特征分析方式对复合词内部结构进行描述。实际上，复合词内部语素是否适合区分成不同语法性质的单位是一个可以讨论的问题，很可能复合词结构只是一种主义结构问题。

戚林八音》是闽方言中成书最早、流传最广、影响最大的通俗韵书，《戚林八音校注》不但是研究闽方言的重要文献，也是研究音韵学史和方言学史的重要古籍。

This book describes the earliest reconstructable stages of the prehistory of English, focusing specifically on linguistic structure. It outlines the grammar of Proto-Indo-European, considers the changes by which one dialect of that prehistoric language developed into Proto-Germanic, and provides a detailed account of the grammar of Proto-Germanic. In the course of his exposition Don Ringe draws on a long tradition of work on many languages, including Hittite, Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Slavic, Gothic, and Old Norse. This second edition has been significantly revised to provide a more in-depth account of Proto-Indo-European, with further exploration of disputed points; it has also been updated to include new developments in the field, particularly in the reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European verb and nominal inflection. The author also reconsiders some of his original approaches to specific linguistic changes and their relative chronology based on his recent research.

This text offers a discourse-functional account of the categories "preposition" and "particle" in English. It explains why certain words have membership in both categories and solves puzzles long associated with the syntax and semantics of these words. Based on linguistic data from a series of actual conversations, the book provides insights into how prepositions and particles are used and how their meanings can change across different discourse contexts or over time. This book is intended for linguists.

This book addresses the question of how the properties of human vowel systems can be explained. Though it is found that vowel systems of human languages are optimal for communicative purposes, it is not clear who is doing the optimization. If children learn a language, they learn to produce sounds that are as close as possible to those used by their parents and peers. The hypothesis is put forward that the optimization is the result of self-organization in a population of language users. Self-organization is the emergence of order on a global scale in a system where there are only local interactions. It is a phenomenon that appears in many natural systems from purely physical ones, such as crystals, to systems composed of living organisms, such as colonies of insects. Recent developments in linguistics indicate that self-organization might also play an important role in language. The theory is put to the test by implementing it as a computer model. This computer model simulates the interaction in a population of artificial 'agents' that can each produce and perceive vowels in a human-like way. The vowel systems that emerge from the computer simulations closely resemble human vowel systems. It is also shown that many simple variations on the basic system can be investigated, thus providing valuable insight into the dynamics of systems of speech sounds. The ultimate aim of the book is to provide insight into how language has evolved. It turns out that the mechanism of self-organization can make it easier to explain the evolution of language, since it provides an alternative mechanism for the emergence of certain linguistic structures.

《文獻語言學》第八輯是專刊，只收北京大學郭錫良老師的《漢字古音表稿》。書稿運用《王力古漢語字典》《漢語大字典》等工具書，將東漢以前文獻中出現的全部漢字包括異體字提取出來，注上上古音，應該說這是上古音研究的最為前沿性的成果。書稿分四部分：字表、諧聲表、韻表、說明。字表部分按開合四等詳細列出每部所有字，注以國際音標、現代漢語拼音，部分字有簡單訓釋；諧聲表詳列聲符和代表字，以及單字；韻表部分則窮盡性地詳列《詩經》《楚辭》的韻譜和合韻譜；說明部分則對一些學界有爭議的字的歸屬和一些例外字進行說解，並採用統計學的方法將各字在《詩經》《楚辭》的出現頻次予以說明。書後附有音序和筆劃索引，方便讀者檢索。

中国北宋（公元960-1127年）。译官孙穆在他出使高丽俊撰写的《鸡林类事》一文中，用汉字字音记录了三百多个当时朝鲜半岛住民的社会生活用语。通过以之与现代朝鲜语比较可以发现，《鸡林类事》所记当时朝鲜半岛高丽话语汇的音义与今朝鲜语相近甚至相同。也就是说，迄今被称作朝鲜语“固有词”的语汇，与中国最早的语言典籍如《山海经》、《尔雅》、《说文》等记录的古汉语语汇之间，存在着惊人的相似程度和极大的相似比率。经过比对和分析可以作如下推测：朝鲜语的祖先和汉语的祖先，在较久远的历史时期（大约公元前二十世纪前），可能是同出一源的；自彼时的古代朝鲜语至现代朝鲜语的发展，较之自彼时的古代汉语至现代汉语的发展要缓慢得多。朝鲜语是极其稳定的一种语言。而这，正是现代的朝鲜语与汉语之间存在较明显的差异的原因。非但语法，只就本书对朝鲜语语汇的考察，就可以得出如上的结论。
本书依掳现代朝鲜语，擇取《雞林類事·方言》记录的部分十至十二世纪朝鲜半语彙，与古汉语有关语彙进行比较。结语是：二者相与共存的关系是源远流长的。

Fundamental Issues in the Romance Languages compares six Romance languages—Catalan, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian—and summarizes the last thirty years of scholarship in the fields of morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse for each language. The up-to-date analyses in this volume make it essential for undergraduate and graduate students as well as scholars of each language.
