Register or Login to view.But, if the local language was any of the 50 dialects of Chinese, the Dictator would read each character as a syllable in that language. I understand this. The problems I have raised are a direct consequence of taking a Classical Chinese text and dictating it this way Sorry, I don't understand what problems you are referring to.- The Dictator reads the SBJ aloud in Cantonese.
- The Author writes down the Cantonese (which he speaks) in a phonetic notation.
- Author goes back to Europe.
- Author reads the Cantonese and understand it (minus technical terms).
What is wrong here?
Do you mean the syntax? You have seen examples of recipes: there is hardly any syntax in them. The most complicated sentences are like "lengthens life", "releases blocked blood", "cough from reversed qi", ...
All the best, --stolfi Why would the author rewrite the Chinese herbal? Where will he use it in Europe?
