Marjorie Chan's ChinaLinks
Welcome to Marjorie Chan's ChinaLinks at The Ohio State University! Online since 24 April 1996, we have, as of 12 May 2004, moved to the current site, ChinaLinks.osu.edu! When time permits, this site will be restructured, but for now, the structure from the old site is retained. This website has annotated links to over six hundred China- and Chinese language and linguistics-related websites (and a few ftp and gopher sites). The links have been selected and annotated with the aim of directing our (past and present) graduate and undergraduate students in Chinese -- as well as colleagues and other interested scholars -- to some useful internet resources.* Chinese linguistics links reflect my own research interest in Chinese dialectology (including Cantonese), phonetics, and phonology, both synchronic and diachronic. General resources for linguistics and for the internet are also included. The links are organized into four satellite webpages (ChinaLinks 1, ChinaLinks 2, etc.), each covering one or two broad topics that are, in turn, further subdivided in this webpage's Table of Contents. Added to the ChinaLinks site (as of 05.15.04) is my Word Lists and Online Glossaries/Dictionaries, which is a separate page that has not yet been incorporated as an integral part of the ChinaLinks site. Other pages will be added in the coming months, in addition to restructuring of the site this summer. This site can be searched using the search engine to conduct a Simple Site Search (top right corner of this page) -- or an Advanced Site Search (separate page). You can conduct a site search as well as a Web Search (further down this page, with site search the default selection); enter your search in English or in Chinese (繁體 / 简体). For those interested, the search engine also has an option to search the Chinese Language Teachers Association (CLTA) site. The ChinaLinks site here further provides a slightly modified version of Google's Chinese (中文) Web Search (separate page), to allow one to search in English, Chinese (繁體 / 简体) , and/or Hanyu Pinyin romanization. (See my note in the ChinaLinks 1 page on Google's Chinese search engine and on using it to search for words and phrases in Chinese via Pinyin Input.) The encoding/character set used in this site is Unicode (UTF-8). Note that with respect to encoding selection on the web, current 32-bit, Unicode-compliant web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape (version 4.x and higher), and search engines such as Google, use the terms "Traditional Chinese" and "Simplified Chinese" to refer to characters in the subcomponents of Unicode that correspond to the Big5-coded characters and GB(K)-coded characters respectively. For more information on internal codes and Chinese character sets, see this website's Unicode and Chinese Character Sets and Internal Codes.
