Contact between Chinese and Vietnamese: an over-researched field?

This blog is honoured with a guest post from Alexis Michaud, phonetician and field linguist focusing on undocumented languages.

我非常荣幸地请到了语音学家与田野工作者米可(Alexis Michaud)在本blog友情出演。他的文章希望向相关方向的研究者,介绍越南语中的汉借成分当中尚有待解决的一些问题:一些通常不被认为是汉借词的汉借词,以及似乎是从早期借词层沿用进汉越音中的形式。

(A way to visualize this: the same distance will take you from Samarkand to Venice.) In fact, as I later discovered, Táng-era Héběi hosted a large multiethnic population, mostly of Turkic and Sogdian origin…
安禄山本姓康,名轧荦山或阿荦山,系译自粟特语rwxšn “光明”。这里的荦字非常古怪,因为一方面它是一个罕用字,主要出现在“卓荦”一个联绵字中,另一方面又是不应当存在的来母二等字…

Indo-Sinica

Historical and comparative linguistics started rather early in East and Mainland Southeast Asia, where a fledging Neogrammarian linguistics fruitfully cross-pollinated with sophisticated indigenous philology. It is uncontroversial, however, to declare the state of the field deeply unsatisfactory…
竊唯比較語言學之興也、於東亞並東南亞諸部國之語言尤早。音韻文字之賢撰述乎其先、Junggrammatiker之徒繼踵乎其後、砥礪琢磨、大輅椎輪、逾百年矣。然前源固遠、今流不昌、此間學者、不得不擱筆感嘆…
