Introduction
引言
Yifeng Wu 吴一丰

This volume is the culmination of our efforts to index Journal of Chinese Linguistics (JCL) and its Monograph Series (JCLMS) which were published by the Project on Linguistic Analysis from 1973 to 2007. It follows the same vision of as the Chinese Linguistics Bibliography on Computer (CLIBOC), which focused on a broader coverage in Chinese linguistic literature and was described as follows:

Owing to the vast amount of literature which deals with Chinese linguistics, there is a great need for a comprehensive bibliography on the subject. The availability of such a bibliography would free scholars from needless hours of searching through the literature for bibliographical references and allow them to utilize their time and talents more creatively comparing to the efforts on Dictionary on Computer (DOC). (Wang & Lyovin p.1, 1970)

This volume of JCL Cumulative Indexes aims to make conveniently all available published contents of JCL and JCLMS in a systematic, comprehensive, and referential format for the use of the scholarly community researching Chinese linguistics and language.

The indexes reflect the historical development of JCL and JCLMS. During the 20th century, China changed dramatically. Today China is finding its way in the light of globalization, developing its own exuberant cultural identities and making major contributions. For millennia China has been cultivating knowledge rooted in its own culture, and this naturally includes the Chinese language. This kind of regional knowledge with its own theories, hypotheses, analytical, and abundant data can enlighten the world of universal knowledge. This was exemplified by the vision of DOC ([Chinese Dialect] Dictionary on Computer), first brought to scholarly attention in 1969, through “the reconstruction of phonological history of the major Chinese dialects” (Wang, p.57). In other words, without the knowledge experienced by people from different geographical regions such as the regional languages used by the Chinese people, the knowledge may not be universal and can be crippled. Pioneering scholars of Chinese linguistics such as the editors, authors and reviewers of JCL have long dedicated themselves to “globalizing” the Chinese language in the field of linguistics, and thus manifesting the underlying principle in Professor William S.-Y. Wang’s vision (1969), “Of the many language families in the world, Chinese offers an ideal laboratory within which to study phonological change for many reasons” (Wang, p.58). Their works are an invaluable contribution to world knowledge.

The inaugural volume of the Journal of Chinese Linguistics was published in 1973; it was begun with a very clear visionary mission in mind, as the editor stated in that first volume:

“Chinese Linguistics derives from two distinct but related fields of knowledge. In one, the objective is to deepen our understanding of Chinese culture (in the broadest sense of the term) via its primary medium of expression - its language. Whether it is a piece of inscription to be deciphered, a philosophy to be analyzed, or a poem whose rimes are to be reconstructed, a solid knowledge of the language of that time is crucial. Such studies have a long tradition in Sinology; indeed, they were virtually the only ones which scholars interested in Chinese pursued, until recent times.

“The other field of knowledge is aimed at discovering the general principles underlying human language as a whole. The Chinese Language is particularly important here not only because of the time depth of its literature and the wealth of its dialects, but even more because of the unique properties of its syntax and phonology. It constitutes a tremendously rich resource for Linguistics to tap from the study of sound change to investigations of sociolinguistic variation.

“These two fields, Linguistics and Sinology, flow together in their concern with the Chinese Language. The central questions on the language remain the same: its structure, its ontogeny, and its phylogeny, as well as the interactions between the Chinese Language on the one hand, and Chinese thought, literature, and social systems on the other. Also of considerable interest are the questions which arise when the Chinese language comes into contact with other languages, be it in the controlled context of a language class or on the streets of an emigrant community. All in all, there is much to be done.

“Before today, papers on Chinese linguistics had to seek foster homes in diverse journals of general linguistics and in publications of various hues of orientalia. This situation was at best a nuisance, and at worst a serious impediment to the communication and progress of our field. In this journal, let us hope, Chinese Linguistics will have found its own voice.” (Wang, p.ii)

Moreover, invited reviewers and authors published in of Journal of Chinese Linguistics have been distinguished international scholars from Asia, Europe, and North America. The international readership of Journal of Chinese Linguistics has been the academic community that has strongly supported the Journal and thus insured its well being over the decades of its existence.

For 35 years, The Journal of Chinese Linguistics, affectionately known as JCL, has been published by the Project on Linguistic Analysis (POLA), a very active and dedicated linguistic laboratory and research center, at the University of California, Berkeley. Prof. Ovid Tzeng once said “The International Association of Chinese Linguistics was established with a deep root in POLA as well as JCL.” JCL has been a virtual home where intellectual minds have been meeting, and new discoveries in Chinese linguistics have been presented. The papers published in JCL have been based on the principle, “These two fields, linguistics and sinology, flow together in their concern with the Chinese language.” (Wang, p.ii) Furthermore, JCL papers have been challenging the established ideas, encouraging debates, reporting new activities, annotating new publications, remembering pioneer generations of Chinese linguists, and indexing published works. Starting from 1982, JCL has also produced its Monograph Series that includes 22 volumes with distinguished linguistic themes that have been researched in depth. The body of knowledge has thus been nourished with invaluable contributions made to linguistic studies and Sinology, specifically, and to the science of language and culture of the world in general.

The indexes essentially summarize the contents of JCL and JCLMS. Early in its history, JCL was published three times a year from 1973 to 1974. Starting in 1975, it has been published twice a year in January and June. A total of 35 volumes with 72 issues were published from 1973 to 2007. The current size of the Journal by 2007 is 5” X 8”, and each issue has contained between 170 and 200 pages. Beginning in 1982, The JCL Monograph Series, with the same size as the journal, has been irregularly published with a total of 22 volumes; each volume has comprised between 200 to 500 pages, depending on the nature of the topic.

A general classification of the contents of JCL and JCLMS volumes reveals the following estimated distribution: Articles: 384 (482 if articles in the JCL Monograph Series are included); Discussions: 55; Reviews: 67; Reports: 50; Announcements: 26; Bibliographies: 34; Memoriam/Eulogies: 24; Indexes: 3; Editorial notices, 7, Addenda and Corrigenda: 22; and Monograph: 22. JCL’s articles are in English with few in Chinese (35~40); the majority of the abstracts are written in both English and Chinese except for abstracts from volume 1 to 6, number 1, which were in English only. Beginning with volume 31, number 2, subject keywords in both English and Chinese have been provided by authors.

JCL and JCLMS articles published from 1973 to 2007 have covered many aspects of the Chinese language. They have explored a variety of linguistic areas, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, grammar, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, comparative linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinquistics, and sociolinguistics. Authors have also investigated languages in contact, language change, language families, and Chinese writing systems. The factors of culture, psychology, politics and social changes have also been intuitively blended in with scientific research processes in the papers. Research methods include experimental, comparative, as well as historical document review, linguistic reconstruction and many case studies.

As for JCL reviews and review articles, authors have examined in depth newly published books and stimulated lively and pointed discussions. Opinions from distinguished scholars have been published in JCL to respond to scholarly challenges. Reports on many interesting conferences have recorded the dates and places they were held, discussed the presentations of the scholars, and possible publications related to the conferences. These reports serve as valuable references to topics that were discussed at certain periods. Announcements of newly established organizations and journals, new books, and coming conferences are brought to JCL readers’ attention. Bibliographies published in JCL are intended to update the scholarly community in regard to new trends of research in Chinese linguistics; also included are lists of annotated theses, dissertations, and newly published books. As a voice of the virtual community of Chinese linguistic research, JCL has been paying its deepest respect to all pioneering scholars passed away as prominent scholars have contributed memoriam and eulogies over the years. The Monograph Series encompasses newly researched knowledge in depth and covers such topics as phonetics, tone, sound change, grammar, syntax, comparative linguistics, etymology, Chinese dialects and their written form, the formation of the Chinese language, languages in contact, the biological aspect of language, and much more.

These indexes will serve the scholarly community as tools for researching related topics; as a result, an effort has been made to provide a title index for every five volumes in volume 5.2, 10.2, and 16.1. To continue the indexing tradition, the current effort for which we have provided this introduction, is to index JCL and JCLMS by volume/number, title, author and subject; and also included are its useful citations, abstracts and classified subject keywords.

These indexes observe both Western and Chinese indexing practices, so that the newly created indexes are summaries of the JCL and JCLMS contents, as “representations of published items” (Lancaster) guided by the bibliographical practice of The Library of Congress of America. The indexes as a whole are also rooted in Chinese bibliographical tradition which was started by Liu Xiang 刘向 of the Han dynasty: “每一书已，[刘]向辄条起篇目，撮其旨意，奏而录之” (Yuan, p. 1) [After going through each book, Liu Xiang immediately wrote down its title and summarized its content in writing] (translation by the writer of this introduction). And in doing so, aims that, “部次条别，将以辨章学术，考镜源” (Zhang) [By arranging different terms in order, compositions, understandings, and methodologies can be differentiated for examining the origin and development of them] (translation by the writer of this introduction).

In contrast to the previous title indexes published in JCL, this cumulative indexes volume has five indexes in two parts, namely, Index I, 1.JCL Volumes 1~35, 2. JCLMS Numbers 1~22, which are organized by volume/number and comprise citation and abstract/brief description/introduction information. Index II, 3. Titles, 4. Authors, 5. Classified Subjects, with each section having its own detailed information (see the following chart). For detailed explanations to the two parts of the indexes, the reader should please refer to “Explanatory Notes to Index I” and “Explanatory Notes to Index II.” Index I serves as a microcosm of the contents of JCL and JCLMS, while Index II reflects the users’ search interests. In other words, Index II aims to help the users to locate their particular interests, such as a title, an author, or a subject area with designation information, such as volume and issue numbers; and Index I can provide them reference with abstract in both English and Chinese, in the hope of satisfying users’ further curiosity on their specific topics. Our hope is that the indexes will aid in identifying topics that have been studied and inspiring what will need to be studied by Chinese language scholars. The two parts of indexes can be outlined as following:

CUMULATIVE INDEXES
JOURNAL OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS (JCL) VOLUMES 1-35 (1973~2007)
JCL MONOGRAPH SERIES (JCLMS) NUMBERS 1-22 (1982~2007)

With our limited knowledge in the field of linguistics, the indexes, especially the Classified Subjects Index need more advice from Chinese Linguistics scholars and so we wholeheartedly invite suggestions and advice for improving these indexes. The Journal of Chinese Linguistics has come a long way with its mission to give voice to and publicize new discoveries of the language of China and to serve the academic community of Chinese Linguists. These indexes, by observing and supporting this same mission, enhance the scholarly communication and research along with other bibliographical efforts for the various fields of Chinese linguistics, in both printed and online formats. The editor’s hope in doing research across boundaries and disciplines, envisioned 35 years ago, has become a reality today: “Chinese Linguistics derives from two distinct but related fields of knowledge. In one, the objective is to deepen our understanding of Chinese culture (in the broadest sense of the term) via its primary medium of expression - its language. … The other field of knowledge is aimed at discovering the general principles underlying human language as a whole. … In this journal, let us hope, Chinese Linguistics will have found its own voice.”
