Współczesne studia w językach chińskich, literaturze i kulturze, tom. 1 obejmują wielki zakres treści, na który składają się teoretyczne i społeczno-kulturowe studia nad językiem chińskim, nauczaniem chińskiego jako języka obcego, a także chińskim literaturoznawstwem. Posiadają na celu dostarczenie czytelnikowi najnowszych wyników badań w sinologii. In the past decade, Chinese studies have flourished and, excitingly, sinologists are at the verge of a revolution in research into different disciplines of this field. Contemporary Studies in Chinese Languages, Literature, and Culture, Vol. 1 covers a wide range of content composed of theoretical and socio-cultural studies of Chinese language(s), teaching Chinese as a second/foreign language, and literary studies, aiming at providing the reader with the latest research findings in sinology. It also serves as an affable and welcoming forum for all interested sinologists (or anyone doing Chinese studies) to exchange new ideas and discuss latest research findings. The nine chapters in this volume will be of interest to linguists, philologists, literary scholars, language instructors, and those eager to tap into the profoundness and mystery of the Chinese language. It is hoped that this volume will contribute to the Chinese studies in the post-pandemic, wartime era.
