Preface
The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive description of the Manchu
language reflected in the Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok(清語老乞大新釋), which was published in Korea in 1765. The Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok
shows two different writing systems: the Uighur script and the Korean alphabet.
The Manchu language written in the Uighur alphabet shows the same Written
Manchu language as in the Tongki Fuka Sindaha Hergen i Dangse, ‘the Secret
Chronicles of the Manchu Dynasty (1607-1637)'. On the other hand, the Manchu
language transliterated in the Korean alphabet shows the pronunciations of the
eighteenth century. The Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok was a conversational textbook
for Koreans, and the text consists of conversations in everyday life between
speakers and addressees. The author does not have the slightest doubt about the
fact that the Manchu language transliterated in the Korean alphabet was a
colloquial language spoken in the eighteenth century.
This grammar describes not only grammatical features but also the actual use of
these features, and the author investigates the patterns of structure and their
use in a data-intensive way. The approach here is descriptive rather than
theoretical, and an attempt is made to provide a comprehensive characterization
of grammatical phenomena in Manchu. The author uses the term grammatical
feature as a general cover for anything that recurs in the text which can be
given a linguistic description. Grammatical features include word classes, such
as classified in traditional Manchu grammar; morphological features of major
word classes; structural functional elements, such as predicates, subjects,
objects, predicatives, adjectivals and adverbials; phrasal and clausal
categories, such as noun phrases and dependent clauses; and other structural
distinctions, such as tense, aspect and modality.
In Chapter 1, the sound system of the Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok is described.
The differences in the sound system between Seventeenth-century Written Manchu
and Eighteenth-century Colloquial Manchu are identified. A sound system of
Eighteenth-century Manchu is proposed, and then its developments into Modern
Manchu are elaborated. Particularly, the sound system of Eighteenth- century
Manchu is compared with the sound system in Kōno(1944) and the sound system in
Li·Zhong·Wang(1984) and Yamamoto(1969). It is shown that Eighteenth-century
Manchu is systematically well preserved in the Modern Sibe (or Xibe) language
spoken in the Province of Xinjiang.
In Chapter 2, lexical words in the Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok are classified
into ten classes: nouns, pronouns, numerals, adjectives, verbs, postpositions,
adverbs, conjunctions, sentence-final particles, and interjections. The uses of
these lexical words are explained. In addition, the Chinese loan words which
appear in the Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok are described from a phonological point
of view.
Chapter 3 presents derivational and inflectional morphology. In the section of
derivational morphology, derivations of major lexical words are described.
Inflectional morphology is divided into noun morphology and verb morphology.
All the noun particles and verb suffixes which appear in the text of the
Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok are identified and their uses are elaborated.
Chapter 4 provides detailed descriptions of the major structural elements and
patterns, such as ‘subject’, ‘object’, and ‘predicate’, phrasal and clausal
categories, such as ‘noun phrases’, ‘nominals’, ‘adjectivals’ and ‘adverbials’,
and other structural distinctions, such as ‘tense’, ‘aspect’ and ‘modality’.
The descriptive framework of this grammar closely follows Douglas Biber et al,
Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English(Longman, 1999); particularly, the
notions of predicate, predicative and complement are applied to Manchu. On the
other hand, the description of tense, aspect and modality is based on the
descriptive framework in Bernard Comrie, Aspect (Cambiridge University Press,
1978) and F. R. Palmer, Mood and Modality(Cambridge University Press, 1986).
In this book, the romanization system of Möllendorff(1892) is used to
transliterate the Written Manchu language, the writing system of which was
devised on the basis of the Classical Mongolian Uighur script at the turn of
the sixteenth century and remained unchanged during the Qing dynasty. As far as
the romanization is concerned, there seems to be no difference between Written
Manchu and Eighteenth-century Manchu, except for the vowel changes in the
Cheongeonogeoldae, which are indicated in italics. The meanings of the examples
cited here are translated into English in Chapter 1, but in the remaining
chapters the original Korean translations are cited intact with their English
translations. The first number before a hyphen in an example indicates the
volume of the Cheongeonogeoldae Sinseok and the second number after a hyphen
indicates the sheet of each volume.
