Description

This comprehensive book by Springer examines the evolution of Chinese character reform and modernisation, focusing on language policy developments from 1950 onwards in the People's Republic of China. Authored by Zhao and Baldauf, the work provides thorough analysis of major reform programs and their implementation across the twentieth century. The book addresses how technological challenges, particularly the World Wide Web, have influenced contemporary approaches to the Chinese writing system. Part of the Language Policy series (Volume 9), this scholarly work synthesises historical developments with practical policy considerations, making it essential reading for linguists, academics, and those studying Chinese language planning and standardisation.
