	Cantonese (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unusual for a regional (i.e., non-Mandarin) Chinese language, Cantonese has a written form, developed over the last few decades in Hong Kong, and includes many unique characters that are not found in standard written Chinese.
		Another problem is with Chinese characters: Cantonese uses the same system of characters as Mandarin, but it often uses different words, which have to be written with different characters.
		This migration led to the Chinese language being spoken in the Lingnan area.

	Linguistics
		Linguistics is the study of human language: its formal structure, its use in communication, and its role as part of human psychology.
		Linguistics is nearly unique in relating to all three of the broad areas of research at the University: humanities, the natural sciences and mathematics, and the social and behavioral sciences.
		LINGUIST 201 is prerequisite to 401, 404, 409, 412, 505, 510.

	Chinese Language Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Chinese is a language spoken in numerous regions and countries, so we try to familiarize learners with Mandarin as spoken in China, Taiwan, and elsewhere.
		As regards characters, we believe that full proficient in written Chinese requires the ability to recognize both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, though after the first-year level, we leave the choice of which type of characters to write to the learner.
		In first-year Chinese we begin with traditional characters, since simplified characters were in most cases derived from the traditional ones, and -- if one is to learn both anyway -- it is easier to move from traditional to simplified than vice versa.

	UI Chinese Program -- Course Descriptions
		The purpose of this course is to lay a groundwork for the study of modern Chinese.
		While many of the linguistic tasks students will learn to handle are similar to those of first year Chinese, the level of language required to carry out these tasks is more advanced.
		This course is designed to help students 1) to continue to improve their modern Chinese skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and 2) to develop the skill to read authentic texts related to the students' topics of interests.

		The publication is part of rich resources in the field of Chinese linguistics and encouraged by a fine readership world wide.
		The Chinese Language is particularly important here not only because of the time depth of its literature and the wealth of its dialects, but even more because of the unique properties of its syntax and phonology.
		Also of considerable interest are the questions which arise when the Chinese language comes into contact with other languages, be it in the controlled context of a language class or on the streets of an emigrant community.
