師事史學名家史景遷 ● 普林斯頓大學歷史與東亞研究學者 ●社會史殿堂級著作從清末民初、國共內戰，到國民黨遷台及中華人民共和國建政，中文的「標準口語」歷經了漫長發展與演變。本書作者陳怡君教授利用多樣紛呈的史料，詳加檢視了20世紀初至中葉左右「Mandarin」語音長期漸進的演變歷程；除了耙梳官方政策與指令、大眾傳媒鼓吹與推廣的痕跡、第一線教育工作者的現身說法，更會細細勾勒常民口說習慣隨之產生變化的軌跡。本書援引20世紀初留聲與傳媒新技術所留下的檔案，包括留聲片錄音、電影和廣播節目的文字紀錄；作者也挖掘《國語日報》、台北市國語實驗國民小學的歷史沿革等資料，經過多方蒐集與考究，寫成這本關於中文世界語言、民族和身分認同的歷史普及作品，為讀者開拓獨特且慧眼獨具的視野。《誰的「國語」？誰的「普通話」？》查考的議題包括──☉據傳，粵語當年差點成為清帝國覆滅後中華民國的國語，為何有此一說？☉不同標音系統──如注音符號、漢語拼音──是怎麼影響國語及普通話的使用？☉「標準語」的「標準」怎麼訂定的？地方語言及少數民族是否注定為此「標準」而犧牲？☉殖民、戰爭、移民、教育等因素如何形塑「標準國語」？又是怎麼藉語言創造國族認同？☉國共內戰後，「普通話」如何切割前朝──國民黨政權所確立的「國語」的歷史包袱，重新譜寫屬於中華人民共和國的語言與認同政治？本書挖掘1913年民初國語語音從研議到確立的過程，再談到二戰（第二次中日戰爭）期間國府退守四川所實施的全國語言政策，另也探索台灣戰後日語、不同漢民族語言及原住民語言的多方角力，最後收束於探討1949年後中華人民共和國普通話推廣及相關的政治波瀾。在作者書寫的這段歷史中，兩岸時而交錯、時而平行發展的「國語」纏結著政治考量、殖民勢力、離散族群、各地南腔北調等因素；也由於種種交互融混與作用，才形塑出今日數億民眾使用的語言。▍好評讚譽對於與日俱增的中國語言和文字的學術研究，本書注入了難能可貴的補充。──《中國季刊》（The China Quarterly）多年來，學者多半自認為了解中國和台灣大致類似的「語言統一」故事：在手握新科技的強大國家推動下，「標準化」取得了緩慢卻勢不可當的勝利。陳怡君這本振奮人心的著作向我們揭示了大不相同的情況：走走停停而激烈的語言運動、多重意義上的強大阻力、充滿政治因素又變化不斷的語言標準，以及兩岸有所歧異的結果。──《大分流》（Th

鑑於印度大學目前使用的華語教材相當老舊，且與印度的國情與文化有極大差距，故印度臺灣華語教育中心決議為印度學習者編寫一套國別化華語教材。本書以幽默有趣的故事、文化對比的角度介紹臺灣和印度的文化特色。主要學習對象為在印度大學學習華語第二年、華語程度A2 - B1的印度學生，以文化比較與語言學習為主軸，設計在地化的教材。每一課分為七部分：課程目標及課文屬性、課文對話、短文、生詞、語法、跨文化延伸和語言任務。希望此書在印度華語教材和臺印文化交流上扮演領頭羊角色，期盼拋磚引玉，能專門為在印度學習華語的學習者編寫更多元、更適性的華語教材。Given that the Mandarin textbooks currently used by Indian universities are pretty outdated, bearing a large gap with the Indian culture and condition of the nation, TEC has been proactive in advancing pedagogies and teaching materials. Incredible Mandarin is targeted at students learning Mandarin Chinese for the second year at Indian universities or those with Chinese skills between CEFR A2 and B1 levels. This book is designed with localized content aiming at cultural comparison and language learning for communication. The ten lessons are threaded by an interesting story, introducing cultural highlights of Taiwan and India through cross-culture comparison. Each lesson is divided into seven parts: Lesson Objectives and Topic
