	Chinese Language Facts
		The Chinese language (spoken in its standard Mandarin form) is the official language of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, one of four official languages of Singapore, and one of six official languages of the United Nations.
		The terms and concepts used by Chinese to think about language are different from those used in the West, partly because of the unifying effects of the Chinese characters used in writing, and partly because of differences in the political and social development of China in comparison with Europe.
		Nevertheless, the orthographies of Chinese dialects are not identical.

	Mu (negative) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mu (Japanese/Korean), Wu (Chinese traditional:無, simplified: 无 pinyin:Wú) is a word which can be roughly translated as "without" or "have not".
		The 'Mu' koan is as follows: A monk asked Zen master Zhaozhou, a Chinese Zen Master (in Japanese, Jōshū): "Has a dog Buddha-nature or not?", Zhaozhou answered: "Wú".
		Since the expression 'wu' in Chinese is similar to the sound the Chinese use to imitate a dog's 'woof', an alternate 'explanation' of the utterance has been proposed suggesting that Zhaozhou was imitating a dog in reply, i.e., he answered the question by 'being' the dog.

	Chinese Language - MSN Encarta
		Chinese is also spoken by large emigrant communities, such as those in Southeast Asia, North and South America, and the Hawaiian Islands.
		As the dominant language of East Asia, Chinese has greatly influenced the writing systems and vocabularies of neighboring languages not related to it by origin, such as the Japanese language, the Korean language, and the Vietnamese language.
		Besides a core vocabulary and sounds, Chinese and many related languages share features that distinguish them from most Western languages: They have even less inflection than the English language and are tonal.

	Chinese overview
		In fact much Chinese mathematics from this period was produced because of the need to make calculations for constructing the calendar and predicting positions of the heavenly bodies.
		Wu Jing was an administrator in the province of Zhejing and his arithmetical encyclopaedia contained all the 246 problems of the Nine Chapters.
		It is to the credit of Chinese mathematicians that they did not let their mathematical tradition be replaced by the western tradition.

	Chinese Word Segmentation - Home
		The Chinese word segmenter developed in the Natural Language Processing group at Microsoft Research (MSR-NLP) is an integral part of a Chinese sentence analyzer.
		This is made possible by the fact that (1) word internal structures are preserved for all morphologically complex words, and (2) each class of nodes in the word tree (i.e.
		each type of word construction) is associated with an independent segmentation parameter whose value can be specified by the user to determine whether the children of the given node should be displayed as one word or separate words.

		Further grammatical characteristics of Chinese are that, in general, verb tense is not expressed; and for lack of an equivalent of the English relative clause, quite complicated modifier phrases may precede the term modified.
		The Chinese written language is of an old and conservative type that assigns a single distinctive symbol, or character, to each word of the vocabulary.
		Like other scripts of ancient origin, Chinese is derived from picture writing; it grew into a word-by-word representation of language when it was discovered that words too abstract to be readily pictured could be indicated by their sound rather than their sense.

	An Introduction to the Chinese Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Mandarin is the standardized dialect of Chinese and the official language of mainland China and Taiwan.
		The seven main dialect groups are Mandarin; Wu (includes Shanghainese); Xiang; Gan; Hakka; Cantonese (or Yue); and Min (which linguists further divide into of 5 to 7 subdivisions on its own, which are all mutually unintelligible).
		Standard Mandarin is based on the Beijing dialect, which is the dialect of Mandarin as spoken in Beijing, and the governments intend for speakers of all Chinese speech varieties to use it as a common language of communication.

	Notes on Teaching Translation Between Chinese and English
		Chinese speakers seldom pay attention to formal cohesion and their expression seems to be meaning-driven.
		As far as interlingual and intercultural communication is concerned, words in one language may not have exact equivalents or have different associations from those seemingly corresponding words in another language, which brings challenges to translating.
		Chinese is characterized by parataxis, which means that the relation between sentence parts is loose and unclear.

		Feature lexicon, by extracting functional words (e.g., “了”), words with affixes (e.g., “老虎”), and words formed by doubling the same character (e.g., “明明白白”), is employed as a kind of pre-processing before applying the mechanical matching process.
		Although it improves the segmentation for non-common words, it does not perform well on common words, components of which are very flexible in forming words with other characters, and in most cases multiple in the meaning (Liu 2000; Wang et al.

		Representations of the speaker's knowledge of the patterns of morphological relatedness in her language, Word Formation Strategies (= instantiations of (1)) are invoked only in moments of crisis, i.e., when the speaker needs to analyze or fashion a word she needs for the purpose at hand, often to meet a syntactically enforced requirement.
		Their exploitation, of course, helps her to bridge the gap between the actual words she happens to know and the possible words she can be said to know-actually their existence makes the known merely a subset of the knowable.

	Dekai Wu
		As with the pure statistical translation model described by Wu (1996) (in which a bracketing transduction grammar models the channel), alternative hypotheses compete probabilistically, exhaustive search of the translation hypothesis space can be performed in polynomial time, and robustness heuristics arise naturally from a language-independent inversion-transduction model.
		Because the edges of this graph may connect words that are arbitrarily far apart in a sentence, this technique can incorporate the predictive power of words that lie outside of bigram or trigram range.
		The learned vocabulary size is non-trivial at 6,517 English words averaging 2.33 Chinese translations per entry, with a manually-filtered precision of 95.1% and a single-most-probable precision of 91.2%.

	A Chinese Word to Rembember: “Laogai”: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		In many countries the middle class is the engine of liberalization, but most of China’s new “bourgeoisie” are party members, who can hardly be expected to risk losing their monopoly privileges by extending ownership.
		I want to see the word laogai in every dictionary in every language in the world; I want to see the laogai ended.
		China’s cavalier attitude toward human rights is characterized by the re-arrest of many of China’s most important dissidents, such as Democracy Wall activist Wei Jingsheng, who after nearly 15 years in the laogai was released in September 1993, only to be re-arrested and sentenced last December to another 14 years.

		Wu criticized the invasion, whereupon he was given a life sentence for being a "counterrevolutionary." He was 23 years of age when the "legal process" confirmed his sentence; he wound up serving 19 years in the laogai, which is the Chinese word for the network of concentration camps/slave labor factories which exist in Communist China.
		He said that the Chinese government has branded him a "troublemaker." Wu remarked, "I am happy they think I am a troublemaker; I a troublemaker for those who oppose human dignity and sentence innocent people to death by the truckloads.
		He was convicted of subversive activities, and branded this second time as "the number one troublemaker among overseas Chinese." Wu's release in 1995 was brought about by the Clinton Administration.

		Chinese Kickboxing had been practiced by the Chinese for many thousands of years and was the result of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese to react, in the main, to vital military and serious survival requirements at that time.

	Mistaking the Word "Tso" for Taoism
		The use of the word "Tao" by Chinese masters does not, in and of itself, indicate a connection to Taoism.
		Another example: In the Chinese language, the term “de tao gao seng” literally means “attain-tao-high-monk.” This term is often used to describe a Buddhist monk of high spiritual attainment.
		I believe it is precisely the failure to understand this aspect of the Chinese word “Tao” that has mislead many Western scholars to wrongly think that Chan Buddhism was significantly influenced by Taoism.
