What happens when language wars are not about hurling insults or quibbling over meanings, but are waged in the physical sounds and shapes of language itself? Native and foreign speakers, mother tongues and national languages, have jostled for distinction throughout the modern period. The fight for global dominance between the English and Chinese languages opens into historical battles over the control of the medium through standardization, technology, bilingualism, pronunciation, and literature in the Sinophone world. Encounters between global languages, as well as the internal tensions between Mandarin and other Chinese dialects, present a dynamic, interconnected picture of languages on the move. In "Sound and Script in Chinese Diaspora," Jing Tsu explores the new global language trade, arguing that it aims at more sophisticated ways of exerting influence besides simply wielding knuckles of power. Through an analysis of the different relationships between language standardization, technologies of writing, and modern Chinese literature around the world from the nineteenth century to the present, this study transforms how we understand the power of language in migration and how that is changing the terms of cultural dominance. Drawing from an unusual array of archival sources, this study cuts across the usual China-West divide and puts its finger on the pulse of a pending supranational world under 'literary governance.'

sound同script的概念好似阿姨自己都唔係冧得好清楚,講到“中文”腦中就充滿大陸和颱灣,用極多含糊的形容詞化名詞去遊花園,最後又冇講咩嘢咁,重申下流行的問題...就完咗。況且,講本土問題時取徑“翻譯”固然閤邏輯且紅,但做文學研究的要格硬規避人對地方和母語的情感歸屬,這樣想真的大丈夫嗎?
評分打字機一章最好,但或許大半要歸功於林語堂本人。rivalry over (linguistic) hospitality是值得深挖的點,參考Casanova不如讀利科
評分很容易讀。。。

評分結構有點亂,6,7,8章看不下去,第四章的林語堂寫得最有意思。Carlos Rojos寫瞭個書評指齣本文幾處拼音分隔不當,說咦這真是活生生的literary governance呢。然而她的確是難得史料和理論都運用的人,好過太多腦洞大開的人
