香港粵語
由 張洪年粵語在香港作為一種有機體，有自己蓬勃的生命力，而且不斷地在變化。語言並不如想像之中那樣古板或死板。1990 年代，徘徊在柏克萊東亞圖書館的張洪年教授，無意中看到書架上有一本關於粵語的老書，一時好奇心動，順手抽下；站在昏黃的吊燈底下略略翻閱，接著就坐在圖書館地上，看了整個下午。這一回無心插柳，開拓了他後來二三十年的研究新路向。《香港粵語：二百年滄桑探索》選輯了張洪年教授歷年所寫的一系列語言學文章，具體描述早期粵語的各種語言現象，解釋香港粵語從十九世紀到二十一世紀之間發生的種種變化。香港早期的粵語來自廣州，二十世紀中期以後逐步與廣州話分道揚鑣，漸漸自成一種語言。如今香港人口絕大部分以粵語為母語，社會上的活動都以粵語為主要溝通語言。香港的粵語雜用大量外來語，有的已經成了本地詞彙一部分，在語音和語法層面也發生了許多新變化。然而，這些變化到底如何發生，幾時發生？變化的牽涉面有多廣，軌跡是否可循$128.00 HKD

The Study of Speech Processes
Addressing the Writing Bias in Language Science
There has been a longstanding bias in the study of spoken language towards using writing to analyse speech. This approach is problematic in that it assumes language to be derived from an autonomous mental capacity to assemble words into sentences, while failing to acknowledge culture-specific ideas linked to writing. Words and sentences are writing constructs that hardly capture the sound-making$191.19 HKD
