| sarah in mandarin chinese: Sarah's Song Kim Smith, Kevin Smith, 2023-03-15 As the grotesque figure stepped closer to Myung-Dae Kwon, his stomach convulsed from the foul stench that enveloped him. The servant of Satan planted himself firmly only a few feet from Myung-Dae Kwon and bellowed with a voice that shook the ground for miles. His putrid breath dropped birds in flight and frogs from the trees to the ground. It laid the tall wheat grass down around the path as far as one could see. At the bank of the Han River, Kim heard the unholy roar of the beast and fell back into the longboat. Peering over the side, he saw the river water dancing (as it does when an alligator sounds its mating call). Kim saw the birds falling from the sky and the frogs dropping into the river and along the shore. He was struck with fear. The repugnant creature spoke to Myung-Dae Kwon with a horrifying voice. In your cloak you carry a script that belongs to me. Put it in this box, and I will not harm you. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: For All the Tea in China Sarah Rose, 2010-03-18 A dramatic historical narrative of the man who stole the secret of tea from China In 1848, the British East India Company, having lost its monopoly on the tea trade, engaged Robert Fortune, a Scottish gardener, botanist, and plant hunter, to make a clandestine trip into the interior of China—territory forbidden to foreigners—to steal the closely guarded secrets of tea horticulture and manufacturing. For All the Tea in China is the remarkable account of Fortune's journeys into China—a thrilling narrative that combines history, geography, botany, natural science, and old-fashioned adventure. Disguised in Mandarin robes, Fortune ventured deep into the country, confronting pirates, hostile climate, and his own untrustworthy men as he made his way to the epicenter of tea production, the remote Wu Yi Shan hills. One of the most daring acts of corporate espionage in history, Fortune's pursuit of China's ancient secret makes for a classic nineteenth-century adventure tale, one in which the fate of empires hinges on the feats of one extraordinary man. |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: Hacking Chinese Olle Linge, 2016-03-26 Learning Chinese can be frustrating and difficult, partly because it's very different from European languages. Following a teacher, textbook or language course is not enough. They show you the characters, words and grammar you need to become proficient in Chinese, but they don't teach you how to learn them! Regardless of what program you're in (if any), you need to take responsibility for your own learning. If you don't, you will miss many important things that aren't included in the course you're taking. If you study on your own, you need to be even more aware of what you need to do, what you're doing at the moment and the difference between them. Here are some of the questions I have asked and have since been asked many times by students: How do I learn characters efficiently? How do I get the most out of my course or teacher? Which are the best learning tools and resources? How can I become fluent in Mandarin? How can I improve my pronunciation? How do I learn successfully on my own? How can I motivate myself to study more? How can I fit learning Chinese into a busy schedule? The answers I've found to these questions and many others form the core of this book. It took eight years of learning, researching, teaching and writing to figure these things out. Not everybody has the time to do that! I can't go back in time and help myself learn in a better way, but I can help you! This book is meant for normal students and independent language learners alike. While it covers all major areas of learning, you won't learn Chinese just by reading this book. It's like when someone on TV teaches you how to cook: you won't get to eat the delicious dish just by watching the program; you have to do the cooking yourself. That's true for this book as well. When you apply what you learn, it will boost your learning, making every hour you spend count for more, but you still have to do the learning yourself. This is what a few readers have said about the book: The book had me nodding at a heap of things I'd learnt the hard way, wishing I knew them when I started, as well as highlighting areas that I'm currently missing in my study. - Geoff van der Meer, VP engineering This publication is like a bible for anyone serious about Chinese proficiency. It's easy for anyone to read and written with scientific precision. - Zachary Danz, foreign teacher, children's theatre artist About me I started learning Chinese when I was 23 (that's more than eight years ago now) and have since studied in many different situations, including serious immersion programs abroad, high-intensity programs in Sweden, online courses, as well as on the side while working or studying other things. I have also successfully used my Chinese in a graduate program for teaching Chinese as a second language, taught entirely in Chinese mostly for native speakers (the Graduate Institute for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language at National Taiwan Normal University). All these parts have contributed to my website, Hacking Chinese, where I write regularly about how to learn Mandarin. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: Dreaming in Chinese Deborah Fallows, 2011-09-20 Deborah Fallows has spent a lot of her life learning languages and traveling around the world. But nothing prepared her for the surprises of learning Mandarin, China's most common language, or the intensity of living in Shanghai and Beijing. Over time, she realized that her struggles and triumphs in studying learning the language of her adopted home provided small clues to deciphering behavior and habits of its people, and its culture's conundrums. As her skill with Mandarin increased, bits of the language - a word, a phrase, an oddity of grammar - became windows into understanding romance, humor, protocol, relationships, and the overflowing humanity of modern China. Fallows learned, for example, that the abrupt, blunt way of speaking which Chinese people sometimes use isn't rudeness, but is, in fact a way to acknowledge and honor the closeness between two friends. She learned that English speakers' trouble with hearing or saying tones-the variations in inflection that can change a word's meaning-is matched by Chinese speakers' inability not to hear tones, or to even take a guess at understanding what might have been meant when foreigners misuse them. Dreaming in Chinese is the story of what Deborah Fallows discovered about the Chinese language, and how that helped her make sense of what had at first seemed like the chaos and contradiction of everyday life in China. |

ELIOT PRIZE 2015* *WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES / PETERS FRASER + DUNLOP YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2015* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION 2015* There is a Chinese proverb that says: ‘It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters.’ But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots. With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love – what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other. Crossing the bounds of time, race and language, this is an enthralling exploration of self and place, of migration and inheritance, and introduces an unmistakable new voice in British poetry. |

He’s wearing a white linen suit she’s never seen before, and he’s supposed to be dead. Grief-stricken and baffled, Clare tails Richard, a horror film scholar, through the newly tourist-filled streets of Havana, clocking his every move. As the distinction between reality and fantasy blurs, Clare finds grounding in memories of her childhood in Florida and of her marriage to Richard, revealing her role in his death and reappearance along the way. The Third Hotel is a propulsive, brilliantly shape-shifting novel from an inventive author at the height of her narrative powers. |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: Verse Memorization Hugo Raines, AI, 2025-05-06 Verse Memorization explores the profound connection between music, language, and memory, revealing how poetic forms are intentionally crafted mnemonic devices designed for oral retention. It delves into why certain rhymes and songs stick with us, while other information fades. The book examines the structural elements of poetry, such as rhythm and rhyme, and their roles in facilitating memorization. It further investigates how diverse cultures throughout history have utilized these elements to transmit knowledge. The book's unique approach lies in viewing poetic form not merely as an artistic expression but as a sophisticated mnemonic technology. It provides a holistic view, beginning with an introduction to core poetic elements and then exploring specific poetic traditions from various cultures. For instance, it covers oral epics of ancient Greece and complex verse structures of Sanskrit literature to emphasize how different societies optimized poetic forms to meet their mnemonic needs. Ultimately, Verse Memorization synthesizes these observations to demonstrate how modern education and communication can benefit from these ancient techniques, incorporating insights from musical theory, language acquisition, and cognitive psychology. The book progresses from foundational concepts to cultural case studies, culminating in practical applications for contemporary learning. |

The book addresses the connectedness of human progress by exploring how globalization creates new dynamic interfaces between East and West and how rather than clashes of culture there are growing forms of reciprocity between civilizations and a shared awareness of how humanity is connected through knowledge and international mobility. |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: Mandarin Robert Elegant, 2017-01-17 A grand tale of intrigue in nineteenth-century China, where imperial rule is crumbling as the Opium Wars and Taiping Rebellion rage, from the author of Manchu. Loyalty is put to cruel test in Shanghai, where Jewish merchant Saul Haleevie and his longtime Chinese partner, Aisek Lee, have weathered hardship and distrust to build a thriving business. When Aisek is falsely accused of “abomination” for causing his mother’s suicide, their world is shattered. Now, Saul must save his friend no matter the cost, navigating a brutal and corrupt penal system that could bring about his own ruin as well. Meanwhile, the quest for true love governs the fate of Saul’s wayward daughter, Fronah. Consorting with the Westerners now thronging Shanghai but truly comfortable only in her Jewish-Asiatic identity, she ends up destroying one man and confounding another. Love and deception also entwine in the imperial palace, where the “Virtuous Concubine” Yehenala contrives to bear the opium-eating, syphilitic Hsien Feng emperor’s only son, thus laying the foundation for her elevation to the pinnacle of command in China as the formidable empress dowager. She wins the power battle, but it is beyond her to win the war, for by then China faces not just the collapse of another imperial dynasty, but the end of the millennial imperial system of rule, threatening the lives and loves of all. This compelling saga of nineteenth-century China is filled with “intricate shuttlecock diplomacy, ceremonial/battle action, family saga/romance—all polished to an entertaining high gloss” (Kirkus Reviews). |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: A Phonological History of Chinese Zhongwei Shen, 2020-06-04 The phonological history of Chinese can be traced back to two main traditions: one starting with the Qieyun of 601, and the other starting with the Zhongyuan Yinyun of 1324. The former marks the beginning of Middle Chinese, and the latter marks the beginning of Old Mandarin. Both of these systems, as well as reconstructed Old Chinese, should be understood as ideal phonological standards and composite in nature. Until modern times, phonological standards were never based strictly on the phonology of a single dialect. This book provides the first study written in English, of the phonological history of Chinese. It provides information about the standard phonological systems for each of the language's major historical periods, drawing on a range of historical materials such as dictionaries, rhyming tables and poetry, and is the reference book for understanding the key developments in the Chinese sound system. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: Daughters of the Bamboo Grove Barbara Demick, 2025-05-20 The heartrending story of twin sisters torn apart by China’s one-child policy and the rise of international adoption—from the author of the National Book Award finalist Nothing to Envy, one of today’s leading reporters “An amazing book. I truly couldn’t put it down.”—Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author of Lady Tan’s Circle of Women “Barbara Demick turns the seemingly prosaic human dramas of our societies into a cinematic and heart-rending epic tale with consequences that cross continents.”—Emily Feng, author of Let Only Red Flowers Bloom On a warm day in September 2000, a woman named Zanhua gave birth to twin girls in a small hut behind her brother’s home in China’s Hunan province. The twins, Fangfang and Shuangjie, were welcome additions to her family but also not her first children. Living under the shadow of China’s notorious one-child policy, Zanhua and her husband decided to leave one twin in the care of relatives, hoping each toddler on their own might stay under the radar. But, in 2002, Fangfang was violently snatched away. The family worried they would never see her again, but they didn’t imagine she could be sent as far as the United States. She might as well have been sent to another world. Following stories she wrote as the Beijing bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, Barbara Demick embarks on a journey that encompasses the origins, shocking cruelty, and long-term impact of China’s one-child rule; the rise of international adoption and the religious currents that buoyed it; and the exceedingly rare phenomenon of twin separation. Today, Esther—formerly Fangfang—lives in Texas, and Demick brings to vivid life the Christian family that felt called to adopt her, unaware that she had been kidnapped. Through Demick’s indefatigable reporting, will the long-lost sisters finally reunite—and will they feel whole again? A remarkable window into the volatile, constantly changing China of the last half century and the long-reaching legacy of the country’s most infamous law, Daughters of the Bamboo Grove is also the moving story of two sisters torn apart by the forces of history and brought together again by their families’ determination and one reporter’s dogged work. |

De Costa, Wendy Li, Jongbong Lee, 2022-08-04 This book presents the results of research that focused on international students receiving writing instruction on a US university campus. It explores how the students developed their foreign-student identities and their own ways of grappling with the unique issues they encountered as they worked to improve their academic literacy skills. The book extends the theoretical horizons of language socialization research by integrating insights from other disciplinary frameworks, such as a translingual approach, multilingual literacies and writing center theory, to explore international students’ university experiences. By adopting these varied lenses, the book provides readers with a more holistic, integrative and ecological understanding of students’ language and literacy development. The authors also investigate how a translingual pedagogy informs language instructors and literacy instructors in facilitating multilingual students’ academic literacy development across a variety of codes, registers, genres, modes and media. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: The Particle Zhe in Northwestern Chinese: A New Type of Contact-Induced Grammatical Change Xiaolei Fan, 2025-06-29 This book presents an analysis of a particular grammatical phenomenon in Northwestern Chinese, a.k.a. Northwestern Chinese dialects, uncovering a new pattern of contact-induced changes, which can be termed “compromise innovation”. In the vast majority of Northwestern Chinese dialects, the imperfective marker Zhe, which behaves like a verb suffix in most Chinese dialects, exhibits a number of peculiar characteristics. The most prominent one is that it occurs in an unusual syntactic position where no verb suffix is expected to occur; i.e., it is placed after the object (“V+O+Zhe”) rather than immediately following the verb (“V+Zhe+O”). Given that the grammaticalization of Zhe in Classical Chinese from a verb to an imperfective marker took place while Zhe was being used in the “V+Zhe+O” structure, the “V+O+Zhe” construction in Northwestern Chinese is likely the result of a more recent change. Furthermore, in a group of Northwestern Chinese dialects, there are various grammatical types of “VP1+Zhe+VP2” constructions in which Zhe occurs at the end of VP1 to mark the syntactic dependency between VP1 and VP2. In this usage, Zhe is no longer an imperfective marker, but rather, similar to a converb marker. This phenomenon challenges the conventional view that Chinese is a typical verb-serializing language. The book argues that the grammatical peculiarity of Zhe in Northwestern Chinese is a result of syntactic change induced by the contact with the non-Han languages (i.e. non-Chinese) spoken in Northwest China, including Mongolic, Turkic and Tibetan languages. The “V+O+Zhe” configuration, as the most distinctive phenomenon in this change, reflects a compromise between the two types of languages in contact: in such a configuration, the canonical VO order of Chinese is maintained, and meanwhile, by moving the verb suffix to the clause-final position, it also complies with the verb-final trait of the non-Han languages. In addition, there are many differences between Zhe in Northwestern Chinese dialects and the corresponding grammatical forms in non-Han languages in Northwest China. This indicates that the innovative evolution of Zhe in Northwestern Chinese faces certain constraints, and it is found that these constraints essentially stem from the inherent grammatical properties of the imperfective Zhe and various predicative structures in Chinese. The usages of Zhe discussed in this book vividly demonstrate the fact that the contact-induced change is a consequence of processes by which the “external soil” of another language (i.e. source language) and the “internal genes” of the native language (i.e. recipient language) compete against one another. This study may present an interesting case illuminating the very nature of language as a self-organizing and adaptive system, and refresh the linguistic typology community’s perspective on grammatical changes induced by language contact. |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: Rich People Poor Countries Caroline Freund , 2016-02-11 Like the robber barons of the 19th century Gilded Age, a new and proliferating crop of billionaires is driving rapid development and industrialization in poor countries. The accelerated industrial growth spurs economic prosperity for some, but it also widens the gap between the super rich and the rest of the population, especially the very poor. In Rich People Poor Countries, Caroline Freund identifies and analyzes nearly 700 emerging-market billionaires whose net worth adds up to more than $2 trillion. Freund finds that these titans of industry are propelling poor countries out of their small-scale production and agricultural past and into a future of multinational industry and service-based mega firms. And more often than not, the new billionaires are using their newfound acumen to navigate the globalized economy, without necessarily relying on political connections, inheritance, or privileged access to resources. This story of emerging-market billionaires and the global businesses they create dramatically illuminates the process of industrialization in the modern world economy. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: When Language Meets Blockchain Zhihong Peng, 2022-03-21 Language ability is a unique human trait, and it is indispensable throughout the human life cycle. Blockchain on the other hand, is an innovation that will transform production relationships, change collaboration models and distribution of benefits between people. Language and blockchain seem to have no intersection, yet they are bewilderingly similar in certain ways.When Language Meets Blockchain leads us into an exploratory journey to discover the possibilities of integrating blockchain technology with the language services industry. The author discusses how blockchain technology enables translators to realise their full potential and describes how the role of language can be elevated from a general tool to a driving force through a new concept called Cross-Linguistic Capability. This is a concept that will have very intriguing and beneficial implications for global economic activities.It is demonstrated that language is more than just a tool, it is also a resource and a form of capability. This presents opportunities for cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communications in the era of blockchain, to enable the convergence of linguistic capability with blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. The book's perspective on how the language services industry could adapt to times to embrace blockchain technology for industrial transformation, is both forwarding-looking and value enhancing. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: Summary: Careless People: Sarah Wynn-Williams Quick Savant, 2025-03-28 This long version is the stretch limousine of summary books, meant to complement, not replace, the original book. Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams is a razor-sharp exposé that rips the glossy veneer off Facebook’s utopian facade, revealing a cauldron of power, betrayal, and moral drift. This memoir, fueled by an AI-driven lens, channels Sarah's witty voice: a sardonic, battle-scarred insider who once embraced the world-connecting dream, only to choke on its dark aftertaste. Sarah reveals a company that could have chosen redemption but instead pursued riches. She confronts male and female bosses who are sexually harassing, corporate apathy in the face of human tragedy, and a wasp-stung exit with a persona that is as biting as it is bruised. Her humor serves as a rudder through the chaos. Visualize her: battling despair as HR whitewashes her complaints, dodging leers at a karaoke-drenched offsite, or sleep-deprived and nauseous with pregnancy as bosses demand more and more. AI amplifies her tale, dissecting docs and decoding subtext with a cheeky edge, mirroring her wit and knack for calling out the absurd. This isn't merely a whistleblower's lament; it's a profound emotional impact, combining anger, sadness, and a sliver of hopelessness. Sarah's Facebook has transformed into a surveillance juggernaut, a dictator's playground, and a reflection of humanity's darkest aspects. Summary: Careless People: Long Version dares you to laugh, wince, and rage alongside her—at a tech titan’s lethal carelessness and the human cost of its unchecked ambition. “Careless People is darkly funny and genuinely shocking...Not only does [Sarah Wynn-Williams] have the storytelling chops to unspool a gripping narrative; she also delivers the goods. -Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “When one of the world’s most powerful media companies tries to snuff out a book — amid other alarming attacks on free speech in America like this — it’s time to pull out all the stops.” –Ron Charles, The Washington Post An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: Political English Thomas Docherty, 2019-08-08 From post-truth politics to “no-platforming” on university campuses, the English language has been both a potent weapon and a crucial battlefield for our divided politics. In this important and wide-ranging intervention, Thomas Docherty explores the politics of the English language, its implication in the dynamics of political power and the spaces it offers for dissent and resistance. From the authorised English of the King James Bible to the colonial project of University English Studies, this book develops a powerful history for contemporary debates about propaganda, free speech and truth-telling in our politics. Taking examples from the US, UK and beyond - from debates about the Second Amendment and free-speech on campus, to the Iraq War and the Grenfell Tower fire - this book is a powerful and polemical return to Orwell's observation that a degraded political language is intimately connected to an equally degraded political culture. |

Specifically, it addresses these overarching questions: What are Chinese–heritage students’ experiences in language and education in and outside schools? How do they make sense of their multiple ethnic and sociocultural identities? What unique educational challenges and difficulties do they encounter as they acculturate, socialize, and integrate in their host country? What are their common struggles and coping strategies? What are the instructional practices that work for these learners in their specific contexts? What educational implications can be drawn to inform their teachers, fellow students, parents, and their educational communities in a global context? Individual chapters employ different theoretical frameworks and methodological instruments to wrestle with these questions and critical issues faced by Chinese–heritage learners. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: Fate and Prognostication in the Chinese Literary Imagination , 2020-04-28 The essays collected in Fate and Prognostication in the Chinese Literary Imagination deal with the philosophical, psychological, gender and cultural issues in the Chinese conception of fate as represented in literary texts and films, with a focus placed on human efforts to solve the riddles of fate prediction. Viewed in this light, the collected essays unfold a meandering landscape of the popular imaginary in Chinese beliefs and customs. The chapters in this book represent concerted efforts in research originated from a project conducted at the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Contributors are Michael Lackner, Kwok-kan Tam, Monika Gaenssbauer, Terry Siu-han Yip, Xie Qun, Roland Altenburger, Jessica Tsui-yan Li, Kaby Wing-Sze Kung, Nicoletta Pesaro, Yan Xu-Lackner, and Anna Wing Bo Tso. |
| sarah in mandarin chinese: The Handbook of Lexical Functional Grammar Mary Dalrymple, 2023-12-14 Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) is a nontransformational theory of linguistic structure, first developed in the 1970s by Joan Bresnan and Ronald M. Kaplan, which assumes that language is best described and modeled by parallel structures representing different facets of linguistic organization and information, related by means of functional correspondences. This volume has five parts. Part I, Overview and Introduction, provides an introduction to core syntactic concepts and representations. Part II, Grammatical Phenomena, reviews LFG work on a range of grammatical phenomena or constructions. Part III, Grammatical modules and interfaces, provides an overview of LFG work on semantics, argument structure, prosody, information structure, and morphology. Part IV, Linguistic disciplines, reviews LFG work in the disciplines of historical linguistics, learnability, psycholinguistics, and second language learning. Part V, Formal and computational issues and applications, provides an overview of computational and formal properties of the theory, implementations, and computational work on parsing, translation, grammar induction, and treebanks. Part VI, Language families and regions, reviews LFG work on languages spoken in particular geographical areas or in particular language families. The final section, Comparing LFG with other linguistic theories, discusses LFG work in relation to other theoretical approaches. |

| sarah in mandarin chinese: Chineasy ShaoLan Hsueh, 2014-03-11 Learn to read and write Chinese with Chineasy—a groundbreaking approach that transforms key Chinese characters into pictograms for easy recall and comprehension. Chinese is one of the oldest written languages, and one of the most difficult to master, especially for Westerners. With Chineasy, learning and reading Chinese has never been simpler or more fun. Breaking down the Great Wall of Language, iShaoLan Hsueh draws on her entrepreneurial and cultural background to create a simple system for quickly understanding the basic building blocks of written Chinese. Working with renowned illustrator Noma Bar, she transforms Chinese characters into charming pictograms that are easy to remember. In Chineasy, she teaches the key characters, called radicals, that are the language’s foundation, and then shows how they can be combined to form new words and even phrases. Once you’ve mastered these key characters, you can practice your skills with three stories—a fairy tale, an Asian legend, and a contemporary fable—told using the radicals. With Chineasy, readers of all ages will be able to navigate a Chinese menu, read signs and billboards, and grasp the meaning of most articles in a Chinese newspaper. |
