Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an English-to-Shanghai dialect vocabulary and phrasebook, compiled in 1853 during a time of increasing Western presence in the city. At the time, the dialect, known as �Shanghai,� was the lingua franca of the Jiangnan region, thanks to the city's rise as a trading hub and port. The author was an American Presbyterian missionary, and the book was intended to aid foreigners in communicating with the local population and to gain a greater understanding of Shanghainese society and culture. The book is not just a list of words and phrases; it also provides insights into many aspects of daily life in 19th century Shanghai, including social customs, religious beliefs, and entertainment. It includes a wealth of information about the city's geography, its food, and its commerce. It also contains a detailed analysis of the sounds, grammar, and structure of the Shanghai dialect. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Shanghai, as it provides a unique snapshot of the city at a time of great change and development. It is also of great interest to linguists, as it documents a dialect that has since largely disappeared, replaced by the standardized Mandarin which is now spoken throughout China. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781527886186_0
