Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive and erudite dictionary and phrase book of the Mandarin language, intended for anyone who wishes to study and understand Mandarin as a foreign language. As a product of its time, the lexicon has a particular focus on rendering the language intelligible and useful for those who work in foreign service. Given this, the book takes care to remark on which signs and phrases are used more commonly by the court and which by the average citizen, and it helpfully includes a primer on Chinese astronomy and geography, which were then seen as essential to understanding many Chinese terms. With this in mind, the book takes great care to explain the role of religion, government, and culture in Chinese society and language, with extended sections on topics such as the family system, the concept of decorum and politeness, and the differences between spoken and written Chinese. The author's purpose was to support those who needed a grounding in Mandarin in their professional or diplomatic endeavors, and those same qualities of precision and attention to detail make this book an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the language today. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781527888098_0
