The Chinese Language Demystified offers a detailed exploration of the features that have made Mandarin Chinese so unique among the major languages of the world, particularly English and other European linguistic forms of communication. While discussing the aspects that contribute to the perception of the language as somewhat ‘mysterious,’ the book also investigates how it is comprehended and used by the Chinese people despite its lack of formal grammatical structure in the conventional terms of understanding.

Did you know that... -there are over 50,000 Chinese characters in existence today? -Chinese is the oldest written language still in use today in the world? -many Chinese babies are named after important historical events? -the Chinese names for dumpling and sleep sound almost exactly the same? Chinese is a fascinating and mysterious language that has captured the attention of scholars and linguists for centuries. This book explores many of the language's idiosyncrasies and its place on the world stage. You will learn how Chinese characters are invented and discover different aspects of life relevant to the Chinese language-how it's tied to the country's history, art, customs, and culture. A reader without any knowledge of the Chinese language will have no trouble understanding it.

A Must-Read Tool Book for Mandarin Chinese Learners & Educators. Although human beings around the globe use many different languages, their needs and wants in their daily lives are largely similar. Thus, similarities between languages do exist, and often are amazingly plentiful. In this book, we capitalize on the precious clues embedded in the similarities between English and Chinese to empower learners with the confidence in that knowing one language can be significantly beneficial in learning the other. This process is called the Δ-Lingual (R) language learning system, a proven method that is strongly validated by recent neuro-scientific research *. * Weber et. al. 2016 for the research details on the Journal of Neuroscience: https: //www.jneurosci.org/content/36/26/6872

The promise is that you will simply “pick it up” if you just spend a little time following this course while relaxing at home, taking a walk, commuting to work or travelling. You don’t have to sit in a classroom, consult the dictionary, study grammar or do any written exercises. This least-effort principle is based on the understanding that we human beings all have an innate aptitude for picking up any human language, native or foreign. All you have to do is keep listening to what you can immediately understand, imitate, and put to use. For the highest efficiency, we have provided easy-to-understand explanations and translations of everything in the text. The text contents are carefully selected so that they will not only serve as a basis for you to expand your vocabulary, but also help you learn the nature of the Chinese language and how it works.

"DeFrancis's book is first rate. It entertains. It teaches. It demystifies. It counteracts popular ignorance as well as sophisticated (cocktail party) ignorance. Who could ask for anything more? There is no other book like it. ... It is one of a kind, a first, and I would not only buy it but I would recommend it to friends and colleagues, many of whom are visiting China now and are adding 'two-week-expert' ignorance to the two kinds that existed before. This is a book for everyone." --Joshua A. Fishman, research professor of social sciences, Yeshiva University, New York "Professor De Francis has produced a work of great effectiveness that should appeal to a wide-ranging audience. It is at once instructive and entertaining. While being delighted by the flair of his novel approach, the reader will also be led to ponder on some of the most fundamental problems concerning the relations between written languages and spoken languages. Specifically, he will be served a variety of information on the languages of East Asia, not as dry pedantic facts, but as appealing tidbits that whet the intellectual appetite. The expert will find much to reflect on in this book, for Professor DeFrancis takes nothing for granted." --William S.Y. Wang, professor of linguistics, University of California at Berkeley

"The book uncovers the role The Great Dictionary of Modern Chinese Dialects plays in analyzing the spectrum of linguistic differentiation in China. The author starts by sketching the development and current state of Chinese dialectology and dialectal research. She then provides an analysis of the Dictionary and of the kind of information it provides. Looking at Chinese dialectology from a Western point of view, the author aims to understand and present the Chinese perspective"--Provided by publisher.
