    Uploaded by

    Lin Xiao
    Bernhard Karlgren was one of the most knowledgeable Western scholars of Chinese linguistics. The author recalls meeting Karlgren in the 1920s and translating one of his important works on Chinese phonology. When they were introduced in Mandarin, Karlgren responded in perfect Mandarin, showing his deep understanding of the language. He was comfortable code-switching between Chinese and English, reflecting his mastery of Chinese. Both the author and Karlgren felt at ease communicating in their hybrid language style.

    BERNHARP karlgren 益 H 足
    By Yuen Ren Chao

    With the passing on last October of Professor Bernhard


    Karlgren we have lost one of the most Chinese of Western
    sinologists.エ had the good fortune of meeting him in the
    19201s and translating his important work Etudes sur la Pho
    nologie Chinoise [ 1 ]. In this brief note エ just wish to
    recall our first meeting, when エ visited him in Stockholm•
    After エ was introduced to him in English, he said in perfect
    Mandarin:れ姓高；力权东牽Iシ（ノ、，叻ゅれ…高本
    But like many Western-trained Chinese, he talked with me
    with quite a free sprinkling of Chinese words, or vice
    versa. For, with the self-confidence of handling Chinese at
    will, he would not be afraid of being considered inadequate
    in his knowledge of Chinese when the use of what エ call
    'skipantslL2 J is indulged in freely. For both 免;f
    we native 太 ノ、feel quite at home with each other in our
    二/又"^ •

    [1 ] Stockholm, 1915*. 1■函省於对Wt見 Shanghai 1940.


    し2] A skipant is my term for a borrowing from a majority
    language into a minority language, a phenomenon which is
    observed in speakers of all the minority languages in a
    large country. For the origin of this term see my Language
    and Symbolic Systems, Cambridge 1968, p. 147.
