OLINLC 118

FLLC

Cross-listed: Asian Studies This course provides a foundation in the grammar, diction and style of Classical Chinese (also called Literary Chinese), which is the operative language for more than two millennia of China's literary traditions. The earliest materials we cover will be seminal texts from the Warring States period (ca. 5th century BCE). This course also doubles as a gateway into core genres, as we will work directly with original texts of historical narrative, philosophy, and poetry. Upon completion of the course, students will not only acquire a conversancy with pre-modern writings but will also better understand the literary elements that are part of modern written Chinese. While vocabulary lists will be furnished for the readings, we will also polish our skills in working independently with dictionaries, including electronic resources. To enroll, students are expected to have at least two years of Chinese or Japanese language instruction. Class size: 15
