Studies in Honor of Jerry Norman

This Festschrift honors Professor Jerry L. Norman on his seventy-third birthday, for his numerous and pioneering contributions to the fields of Chinese and Altaic linguistics, both as scholar and teacher in these fields. It contains new and original articles dedicated to him by twenty-four of his colleagues, friends, and students, whose work in these areas has been inspired by his example and/or his guidance. The book includes papers on a range of topics in Chinese dialectology, historical phonology, epigraphy, and sociolinguistics, and on special problems in the fields of Mongolian, Tungusic, and Turkic historical and comparative philology. Especially noteworthy is the posthumous final known work of the late Professor Nicholas Poppe, one of the greatest Ataicists of the twentieth century. The Festschrift should be of interest to persons working in any or all of these wide-ranging disciplines.
