A STUDY OF THE CUOSUO LANGUAGE

By: BAI Bibo,XU Xianming

A STUDY OF THE CUOSUO LANGUAGE provides linguists with valuable data conducive to interlingual comparisons and particularly, to the study of Generative Linguistics that aims to discover Universal Grammar and Language Faculty of human beings. Meanwhile it offers the target readers a glimpse of research done by Chinese linguists in the field of ethnic minority languages and, therefore, does good to linguistic exchanges between China and other countries. The Cuosuo Language is a newly discovered cross-border language yet seriously endangered one spoken by a small community of 549 speakers (2014) who call themselves “Cuosuo”. Making a life by doing farming work with slash-and-burn, this group migrated to and fro a few years back in the tropical jungle areas close to the China-Laos borderline. The Cuosuo people in China live collectively in Mangang Village, Mengla County, Yunnan Province while those in Laos live in Bannanli and Banshalue villages in Wude County, Phongsaly Province. In China they were regarded as “an unidentified minzu subgroup” before 2004 when they were allowed to join either the Hani or Bulang due to linguistic and cultural similarities they share with these two officially identified groups.

A STUDY OF THE SADU LANGUAGE

By: BAI Bibo,XU Xianming,Sun Xingwen,YIN Shaodong

A STUDY OF THE SADU LANGUAGE provides linguists with intriguing data conducive to interlingual comparisons and particularly, to the study of Generative Linguistics that aims to discover Universal Grammar and Language Faculty of human kind. It offers readers a glimpse of China’s research in the field of ethnic minority languages and does good to linguistic exchanges between China and other countries. The Sadu language is a newly discovered yet seriously endangered one spoken by an ethnic group in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province. It has a small number of 1505 speakers who claim themselves to be Sadu though officially the group is taken as part of the Bai people. It differs not only from Bai, however, but also from the southern dialects of the Yiish branch spoken by the neighboring communities, such as Nisu, Nasu, and Shansu.

General History Of China's Foreign Trade, A (Volume 1)

By: Yuqin Sun,Xu Chang

China boasts a long history of foreign trade. As early as the pre-Qin period, residents of the country began to ship silk and other merchandise on outbound voyages. From the 2nd century BCE on, China has been connected to the rest of the world via the Overland Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road initiated in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.Trade relations between China and other regions in the world have been developing gradually and continuously. Trade has contributed to deepening economic and cultural exchanges between China and other countries. While benefiting the whole of humankind, Chinese civilization has also absorbed the achievements of other civilizations, allowing China and other countries to experience mutual benefits and advance together.This is the first volume in a series of books retelling the arduous development of China's foreign trade. It covers ancient times, recording China's foreign trade from the pre-Qin period to the early period of the Qing Dynasty.

Performance Analysis and Optimization of Parallel Manipulators

By: Qinchuan Li,Chao Yang,Lingmin Xu,Wei Ye

This book investigates the performance analysis and optimization design of parallel manipulators in detail. It discusses performance evaluation indices for workspace, kinematic, stiffness, and dynamic performance, single- and multi-objective optimization design methods, and ways to improve optimization design efficiency of parallel manipulators. This book collects the authors’ research results previously scattered in many journals and conference proceedings and presents them in a unified form after the methodical edition. As a result, numerous performance analyses and optimization of parallel manipulators are presented, in which the readers in the robotics community may be greatly interested. More importantly, readers can use the methods and tools introduced in this book to carry out performance evaluation and optimization of parallel manipulators by themselves. The book can provide important reference and guideline for undergraduate and graduate students, engineers, and researchers who are interested in design and application of parallel manipulators.

Chinese Legal Reforms

Transformations in a Decade

By: Lu Xu

This book explains the details and underlying thinking of many major reforms to Chinese law and legal practice that have taken place since 2013. It draws widely on laws and regulations, policies, cases, official statistics as well as the latest Chinese and foreign literature. The informed analysis answers intriguing questions such as why China runs the world’s largest database of court judgments without recognising any precedent, or why the number of judges was cut by 40% despite a more than doubled caseload. Ultimately it offers a new approach on how to understand Chinese law and legal reforms in the contemporary world.

Asia and the Great War

A Shared History

By: Guoqi Xu

There is no single volume that shines a light on Asia's collective involvement in the First World War, and the impact that war had on its societies. Moreover, no volume in any language explores the experiences Asian countries shared as they became embroiled, with divergent results, in the war and its repercussions. Asia and the Great War moves beyond the national or even international level by presenting a 'shared' history from non-national and transnational perspectives. Asian involvements make the Great War not only a true 'world' war but also a 'great' war. The war generated forces that would transform Asia both internally and externally. Asian involvement in the First World War is a unique chapter in both Asian and world history, with Asian participation transforming the meaning and implications of the broader conflict. Asia and the Great War also takes steps to recover memories of the war and re-evaluate the war in its Asian contexts. Asia's part in the war and the part the war played in the collective development of Asia represent the first steps of the long journey to full national independence and international recognition. This volume aims to bring the Great War more fully into Asian history and the people of Asia into the international history of the war, in the hope that the shared history could lay the groundwork for a shared future.
