《俗语佛源》这本小书，收集了五百余条词目。当然，如果着力搜索下去，肯定会获得更多的果实。但在许多朋友敦促下，我们先将已收集的这些编印出版，向读者们请教。这虽是佛教文化海洋中的一滴，但由此可以看到佛教与我国民族文化的关系，确实是悠久深厚，密不可分，正如一位学者说：不懂佛教，就不能懂得汉魏以来的中国文化。
这里还有两个问题要加以说明。一是关于“俗语”的界定。一般把流传于民间的通俗词语（包括方言俚语）称为“俗语”。而本书所收俗语的范围要适当广泛些，包括进文学、哲学、史籍等领域的佛教语。“俗”是相对于“僧”而言的。二是关于“佛源”的标准。有些词语如“报应”、“觉悟”、“祝愿”之类，虽偶一见于秦汉典籍，但其广泛流行，当在佛教弘传之后，故本书也少量收列。

在汉语史研究中，对所用语料进行鉴别是首要工作，但在实际征引译经语料时，我们常常疏于鉴别、直接引用。《东汉魏晋南北朝译经语料的鉴别》在梳理翻译佛经语料的文字学价值，勾勒正、俗字语用差异的基础上，鉴于东汉魏晋南北朝时期已经形成关外、北方、南方三大泽经区域，将翻译地点作为失译语料考证的重要方面提出，使其与年代、泽入一起构成失泽语料考证的三个主要方面，并且相互印证。同时倡导结合文献学、语言学(语音、词汇、语法、文体结构)、文化学等进行综合考证，以尽可能地提高考证结论的可信度；最后，以《昙无德羯磨》为例鉴别译经年代，以《五阴譬喻经》为例综合考辨译人，以《撰集百缘经》为例综合考证翻泽地点。《东汉魏晋南北朝译经语料的鉴别》通过这样具体的个案考证，来分析语料鉴别过程中应注意参照译经的选择、比较方向的确定、考证方法的应用等问题，特别指出区别性语料确定的标准及其在纵向的时间轴上提取与横向的空间轴上提取时应考虑到若干方面。《东汉魏晋南北朝译经语料的鉴别》由卢巧琴编著。

This important study of semantic change examines how new meanings arise through language use, especially the various ways in which speakers and writers experiment with uses of words and constructions in the flow of strategic interaction with addressees. There has been growing interest in exploring systemicities in semantic change from a number of perspectives including theories of metaphor, pragmatic inferencing, and grammaticalization. Like earlier studies, these have for the most part been based on data taken out of context. This book is a detailed examination of semantic change from the perspective of historical pragmatics and discourse analysis. Drawing on extensive corpus data from over a thousand years of English and Japanese textual history, Traugott and Dasher show that most changes in meaning originate in and are motivated by the associative flow of speech and conceptual metonymy.

This is the first book on the Serbi-Mongolic language family - a major language family of Asia - and the first modern linguistic study of the Serbi (Xianbei) peoples, whose conquest of North China took place at approximately the same time as the Germanic and Hunnic Volkerwanderung into the former Western Roman Empire. The findings presented in this book - the first rigorous and systematic unified theory on the origins of the Mongolic and Serbi languages - add substantially to our understanding of the linguistic geography of Eastern Eurasia, and to the ethnolinguistic history of the Mongolic peoples and their neighbors, including speakers of Chinese, Japanese-Koguryoic, Tibeto-Burman, Tungusic, possibly Indo-European, and later, Turkic. This book also enhances our understanding of attested Middle Chinese, Early Old Mandarin, and Old Tibetan phonology. Moreover, it is the first study to present linguistic sketches of Taghbach (Tuoba), Tuyuhun ('Azha), and Kitan (Qidan), and to systematically compare Kitan and Mongol morphological and syntactic paradigms, resulting in the first reconstruction of Common Serbi-Mongolic phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax. Readers interested in Mongolia, the Mongols, North China, Central Eurasia, the Tibetan Empire, languages of Asia, historical linguistics, and history will find this book to be a useful resource.

本书1999 年由浙江人民出版社出版，2002 年由台湾宗博出版社再版。今再作若干修订，编入“周裕锴禅学书系”。在唐宋时期禅宗语言发展的曲线上，可以发现内部宗教改革实践和外部世俗文化因素两条坐标的影响。本书上编借助当代西方话语理论，按照“语言与世界”这一哲学性思路考察了禅宗发展各阶段言说方式的演变，深刻地揭示了如来禅、祖师禅、分灯禅、分案禅、文字禅、看话禅和默照禅语言观的异同及其内在原因。下编将禅宗语言看作一种特殊存在方式的体现，通过“知识的考古”，揭示其独特殊性的概念结构与可理解的意义，从而破译了大量荒诞、玄妙的禅语密码，合理解释了许多古怪奇特的公案在禅学上的价值。本书在俗语言研究方面有不少精彩的见解，而关于点化法、借用法、方案法的分析，则给予文学理论以极多的启示。文笔富有哲理而诗意盎然，尤引人入胜。

《古突厥语语法》试图对古代突厥语语法作一全面描写，描写对象是中国周边古突厥民族遗留之文献；至于其他地区的突厥民族，在13世纪蒙古铁骑纵横天下以至于突厥世界面目全非之前，似未留下任何文字资料。
《古突厥语语法》是对古突厥语研究现状的一个个人总结，但是，通过对语料的深入研究和对数据的细致分析，其中某些章节应当加以扩展而成专著。
《古突厥语语法》作者希望《古突厥语语法》的译本可为推动中国高等学府、科研院所对古突厥语进行语言学、语文学的研究打下坚实的基础。

本书是中央民族大学“985工程”中国少数民族语言文化教育与边疆史地研究创新基地文库的“新时期中国少数民族语言使用情况研究丛书”之一。该套丛书目前共22种，已出版14种，在学界反响较好。
哈尼语属汉藏语系藏缅语族彝缅语支语言。哈尼族主要分布在云南省红河哈尼族彝族自治州，此外还分布在西双版纳傣族自治州、普洱、墨江、元江、江城一带，人口143.97万人（2000年）。哈尼族又是一个跨境民族，在泰国、越南、老挝、缅甸等国也有分布。
云南省红河哈尼族彝族自治州绿春县是哈尼族高度聚居的一个县。全县总人口230879人，哈尼族有201850人，占全县总人口的87.4%，是全国少数民族人口比例最高的县之一。绿春县还是一个边境县，东南与越南民主社会主义共和国毗连，国境线长153公里。单一少数民族人口在一个县中能够占如此高的比例，是我国民族地区所少见的。在绿春，哈尼语成为强势语言，到处都能听到哈尼语的声音，绿春县的语言生活和社会活动，都离不开哈尼语。哈尼语与全国的通用语——汉语，构成绿春语言生活互补和谐的两支乐章。这两支乐章究竟如何和谐合成，需要我们去认识，去理解。
这样一个哈尼族高度聚居的边境县份，哈尼语的使用现状如何？有多少人还能稳定使用自己的母语，其兼用通用语汉语的情况又是如何？在现代化进程中，哈尼语的社会功能有哪些变化，应当从中得到哪些启示？目前哈尼文使用情况究竟如何，遇到哪些困难和问题？哈尼族使用母语和兼用语的现状，是由哪些因素决定的，对今后哈尼语语言功能的变化应作何预测？这些问题是本书所要力求回答的。

This book explains how the human brain evolved to make language possible and how cultural evolution took over from biological evolution during the transition from basic forms of communication to fully fledged languages. Basing his argument on the latest research in neuroscience, linguistics, and primatology, Michael Arbib presents an up-to-the-minute version of a theory that offers insights into the evolutionary importance of the brain's mirror neurons that enable monkeys, chimps, and humans to recognize the actions of others. Only in humans have these evolved to allow the "complex imitation" which supports the breakthrough to language. This theory, he shows, lights the path from the simple manual gesture we share with apes, to the imitation of manual skills and pantomime, and to the development of sign language and speech. It also explains why we can learn sign languages as easily as we can learn to speak. The author looks at how the brain mechanisms that made the original emergence of fully-fledged languages possible are still active in the ways that children acquire language today and sign languages continue to emerge. He also shows their crucial role in the processes by which languages change on time scales from decades to centuries. This book explains how the brain evolved to make language Michael Arbib provides nonspecialist readers with all the necessary background in primatology, neuroscience, and linguistics. His compelling account of this fascinating subject is fully accessible to a general audience.

This book presents the state of the art in research on grammaticalization, the process by which lexical items acquire grammatical function, grammatical items get additional functions, and grammars are created. Leading scholars from around the world introduce and discuss the core theoretical and methodological bases of grammaticalization, report on work in the field, and point to promising directions for new research. They represent every relevant theoretical perspective and approach. Research on grammaticalization and its role in linguistic change encompasses work on languages from every major linguistic family. Its results offer valuable insights for all theoretical frameworks, including generative, construction, and cognitive grammar, and relates to work in fields such as phonology, sociolinguistics, and language acquisition. The handbook provides a full, critical assessment of every aspect of this research. It is divided into five parts, of which the first two are devoted to theory and method, the third and fourth to work in linguistic domains, classes, and cateogories, and the fifth to case studies of grammaticalization in a range of languages. It will be an indispensable source of information and inspiration for all those who wish to know more about this fascinating and important field.
