Multilingualism in China : the politics of writing reforms for minority languages, 1949-2002
Annotation "Minglang Zhou's highly erudite and well-researched volume on the policies concerning writing reforms for China's minorities since 1949, provides an original and well-reasoned summary of a complex process. It documents how different script reforms meet dramatically different fates according to local preferences, history, cross-border ties, and the vitality of previously-used scripts. In a style accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students, Zhou's book is of interest to language planners, Sinologists, applied linguists, writing theorists, and ethnologists."
