Publisher's Synopsis
The Evolution of the Chinese Language: As Exemplifying the Origin and Growth of Human Speech is a book written by Joseph Edkins and published in 1888. The book explores the evolution of the Chinese language and its role in the development of human speech. Edkins argues that the Chinese language is a unique example of the evolution of language, and that it provides important insights into the origins and growth of human speech. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of the Chinese language, the development of its writing system, and the relationship between Chinese and other languages. Edkins also explores the cultural and social context in which the Chinese language developed, and how it has been influenced by various factors over time.
