Abstract

It was during the formative period of Chinese culture in the Zhou and Han dynasties that the first Chinese reflections on their own language and the language of which we have records were also generated.. In those times we may glimpse at the embryonic themes that guided the history of linguistic ideas (HLI) in China: the relationship between “names” and “things,” the central role of writing and its crucial iconographic characteristic attesting to the semantic aspect of the written language, and its profound consequences for the story that was being gestated. This brief introduction discusses the most relevant themes of Chinese HLI and presents a selection of key texts and authors of the period.
