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
