Abstract 摘要
In compiling these JCL and JCLMS Cumulative Indexes 1973~2007 in the present form, we have been continuously seeking advice from scholars and experts; and we hope that these indexes can continue to receive feedback from our readers in order that we can be helpful to the research community. In this regard, we would like to thank wholeheartedly many people for their inspiration and support of the effort in creating and refining these indexes. Without the help of the following scholars and colleagues, the indexes could not have come to fruition: Professor William S.-Y. Wang 王士元, the editor of the Journal of Chinese Linguistics, has inspired the concept and given his direction and full support in every way to this effort for many years. Professor Ho Dah-an 何大安, of the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica in Taiwan, has directed a group of young scholars, Mr. Huang Kuang-yuan 黃光遠, PhD candidates Ms. Ivy Yeh 葉尚芳, and Ms. Du Chia-lun 杜家倫, to proofread the contents of the indexes against the original texts of JCL and JCLMS; they provided invaluable suggestions and corrections.

Professor Robert S. Bauer包睿舜, not only has edited the English content of the indexes many times, but has also suggested titles for each section. Professor Thomas Hun-Tak Lee 李行德, of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has provided important books that played an invaluable role in the Chinese translation of the indexes. Professor Shen Zhongwei 沈钟伟, of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, suggested referring to the index literature of Chinese linguistics and languages. Professor Weera Ostapirat 许家平, of Mahidol University at Salaya, Thailand, has examined the contents and raised keen questions for clarification. Dr. Liu Li 刘莉, of the University of California at Berkeley, raised some valuable questions about the subject classification and so inspired a major revision of it. Professor Wang Feng 汪锋, of Peking University in Beijing, has carefully rechecked the Chinese translations of article titles and then suggested that book titles reviewed in JCL be so indicated in certain sections. How this has been done is explained in Explanatory Notes to Index II. Professor Huang Chu-Ren 黄居仁, of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Academia Sinica, has suggested additionally indexing authors referenced by JCL articles in the section Names of Persons. Mr. Wong Ying Wai 黃英偉, PhD candidate at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has edited the manuscripts with excellent professional editing skills. Ms. Yu Kai余凯, a professional cataloging librarian, challenged us to insure the consistency in the transcription of the authors’ names in the Authors Index. Mr. Liu Yifeng 刘一峰and Ms. Liang Jinyu 梁金玉, two young students majoring in Electronic Engineering and Mathematics, respectively, at the University of California at Berkeley have diligently typed up all the contents of the indexes, and their efforts will fulfill our dream of putting the indexes online. Finally, we want to thank wholeheartedly Professor Billy Kee-long So 蘇基朗, director of Chinese Studies and the Centre for East Asian Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, for giving his full support to the well being of the Journal of Chinese Linguistics.

These indexes are now proffered to the academic community with our deep respect for the spirit of scholarship, with help from Mr. Kingsley Ma馬桂鴻, the production manager of Chinese University Press, for his professional advice on the high standard in the physical quality of this large volume. In acknowledging the invaluable assistance and suggestions that have been provided by all of these people, I must make clear that I bear the responsibility for any and all errors that remain in this volume. In this regard, I would like to seek readers’ advice on any mistakes and typographical errors that they find, so these errors can be corrected for a future edition.
