标题[心得] 闽粤语是语言还是方言？
时间Mon Sep 29 12:37:54 2008
Quotation from "The Power of Babel" by John McWhorter,
who is associate professor of linguistics
at the University of California at Berkeley.
p73:
Title: Several Languages as Different "Dialects"
Finally,..
cultural and politics ..can designate languages
as distinct as French and Spanish as "dialects" of one.
We often hear that a Chinese person speaks a Mandarin "dialect"
or the Cantonese dialect, but in fact
the eight main "dialect"
of Chinese are so vastly different that they are, under our
analysis,
seperate languages.
The Standard German speaker can gradually "wrap his ear around"
and "get the hang of" Schwaebisch, but
the Cantonese speaker must
learn Mandarin as a foreign language...
Taiwanese often speak yet other Chinese "dialects" in addition to
Mandarin, which means that most of the Taiwanese immigrants we meet
speak two Chinese languages,
not just dialects of one.
