Funded Activity Summary

Tai, Sino-Tai and Sino-Tibetan: the Nature of Historical Relationship. What is the relationship between Chinese and Tai? Where did they originate? What is the position of Tai in Sino-Tibetan? The project will advance our present knowledge by conducting empirical investigations of these issues. Using a heuristic approach combining several methods, it will shed light on how Chinese and Tai have interacted and developed diachronically over 2,000 years. The model developed will open a window on the early history of Chinese and Tai languages and cultures, and will facilitate cross-linguistic comparison and explain linguistic complexities underpinning linguistic affiliation and language development.
