We are proud to announce the publication of Common Neo-Hakka: A Comparative Reconstruction <\/em>(\u5171\u540c\u65b0\u5ba2\u5bb6\u8a71\u8a9e\u97f3\u7cfb\u7d71\u7684\u6bd4\u8f03\u69cb\u64ec), by W. South Coblin.<\/p>\n This work is a comparative study of the Hakka dialect group (now called Neo-Hakka by specialists), using the traditional comparative method of phonological reconstruction. 1368 monosyllabic cognate sets are examined; and a special chapter is devoted to the reconstruction of eighty full words, both monosyllabic and polysyllabic. Special attention is devoted to the problem of lexical layering in the dialect lexicon. A concluding chapter discusses relevant Hakka historical and demographic questions, specific historical phonological problems, and possible avenues for future research in the history and pre-history of the Hakka dialects. A subject index and a full inventory of lexical sets conclude the work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
