Arcane Linguist

Chapter 216 The Continuity of Vernacular Chinese and Seres

Journal of Savarin, Editorial Office.

"Have all the submissions for today been delivered? Hurry up, everyone..."

The editor-in-chief from Art Rhine ordered the staff under him.

Everyone is busy, preparing for the next day's publication.

Suddenly, the assistant came in from the door.

"My lord, this is the latest submission, please have a look."

"Didn't you see that I'm busy here? The matter of submitting manuscripts... Wait, this is from Xishan Manor?"

The editor-in-chief responded, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he turned to the name of the author of the manuscript, his complexion changed.

"What are you talking about so much, remember in the future, your Excellency Roland's manuscript, arrange it as soon as possible!"

the next day.

As soon as the nobles and intellectuals in Savarin got up, they discovered a piece of heavy news.

"Seres Universal Word List" published!
"This newspaper solemnly announces that this general word list is for the well-known high-ranking arcanist, the president of the Siris Co-research Association, the founder of the Siris School, the winner of the Morning Star Award, the nominee for the Arcane Star, the alternate member of the Arcane Committee, Roland Your Excellency Compiled and Promoted...

This form aims to establish a Simplified Simplified character standard and implement Simplified characters..."

The Journal of Savarin made a grand introduction in a large space, announcing the origin of this word list and the meaning it represents.

The news spread quickly, and in just a few hours, Princess Rosa and others in Xishan Manor knew about it.

In the office, Rosa secretly read the newspaper while Roland was going to the other side to hold an internal meeting of the school.

There was a bit of excitement on her face.

"Mr. Roland actually introduced simplified characters?"

Roland once mentioned this to her.

She also once knew the development line of the Seris language.

But I didn't expect it to be launched so quickly and smoothly.

On the other side, in the editor's workshop.

Gnobion also saw it, and the old man's face was slightly wrinkled, showing a trace of indescribable complexity.

"What an amazing result!
The maturity of this simplification is very high, and it can be done by one person.

He really deserves to be the peerless genius of Alteraine! "

……

"The Standard for the Implementation of the Oss Alphabet Phonetic Alphabet Program (Second Edition) has finally been formulated!"

At the same time, in the Sirena area, Dogula City.

In a three-story building under the mage tower of Sirena.

Gallo looked at the implementation standards that had just been formulated on the table, and let out a long sigh of relief.

There are many members of the school next to them who are rejoicing, each with a happy face and a happy expression.

"This is really not easy!"

"Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, the implementation standards of this second edition can be changed so quickly!"

"In this way, it will be easier to follow the law of magic."

They have no reason not to be proud.

Because their team only spent more than a year to complete this achievement.

The various designs, demonstrations, and comparisons during the period were time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Even once went into a detour and overturned many drafts.

Fortunately, there are many people and they are professional. After all, they succeeded in improving this phonetic symbol scheme to a more mature level.

"At this point, our solution is beyond a dialect of Seres.

In addition to this, we have successfully alphabetized the Sierian script.

Such simplification will definitely make it occupy a place in the Lena world! "

With a smile on his face, Oxea picked up the manuscript paper on the table.

If Roland were here, he would be surprised to find that this is a minimalist Chinese character that tends to be alphabetized.

It is even simpler than the two simplified characters (which have been abolished).

In order to avoid some homophones and ambiguity problems, the people of Autodox made various improvements and applied many patches.

This trend is already developing from dialects to foreign languages.

But at this moment, Oxea received a summons from an informant.

After receiving it, he frowned.

"What's wrong?" A school member next to him asked.

"There is news from Terry City that Roland has released a common word list for Seres, which is also a simplified solution!"

"Simplified characters, did he really come up with it?"

"It's so fast?"

They have also heard of the saying that Jiajin Zhuan Li Cao Kai Xing Jian.

But no one thinks that this kind of thing can be implemented so easily and smoothly.

"Are there any newspapers?"

Gallo didn't expect this at all, so he hurriedly asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it right away."

Some members of the school walked towards the magic fax machine with interest.

Not long after, everyone gathered around the Savarin Journal to check the word list and roughly understood what was going on.

Simplified characters have existed in ancient times, and are easy to see in some calligraphy works.

Gallo and others have studied calligraphy, and even the current achievement of Oss alphabetization is influenced by it.

Therefore, they quickly figured it out.

"This Roland will be tricky!"

Oxea couldn't help feeling a bit sour.

"Just wait and see, this has only just been published, and it's still too early to be implemented."

"If the magic fails, won't it prove that Roland is wrong?"

"His prestige would also suffer, and even the whole school would be disgraced."

Someone agreed.

"Besides the simplification of the characters, the sentence structure and grammar of classical Chinese have not changed. Isn't this changing the soup instead of the medicine?"

But what they can think of, Roland has already thought of it.

In just one day, the concept of vernacular Chinese based on modern spoken Chinese was introduced.

This is a new type of written language relative to classical Chinese.

It is also a norm that is more adaptable to modernization.

Its origin can be traced back to spoken language since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it first appeared in popular literature, various story books, novels, etc.

It was not widely used until the New Culture Movement and the May [-]th Movement.

It is also not a rootless tree, but can be found from the Tang and Song Dynasties more than 1000 years ago.

But for this world, Roland's "The Romance of Siris" has not yet written the chapters of Tang and Song Dynasties.

This just connects the history of the evolution of characters, and it seems to be creating something new.

……

"Baihua, is this a style of daily oral language?"

"Yes, compared with classical Chinese, its form is not so standardized, but the advantage is that it is simple and easy to understand, and it is more suitable for daily life.

For example, the attributives commonly used in classical Chinese are prepositioned, and the subject and predicate are inverted.

All kinds of passive, ellipsis, flexible use of parts of speech, function words, preposition usage...

If you don't master a special grammar system, you can't even write articles, and it's hard to read, which is not conducive to the dissemination of knowledge.

But it is closer to the characteristics of spoken language, popular and straightforward, easy to read and spread. "

Near Tairui City, in Xishan Manor.

Roland preached to everyone the benefits of popularizing vernacular.

The combination of this thing and the simplified Chinese characters can be called a new cultural movement in a different world.

Reiner World, New Era Limited Edition!
After speaking, Roland gave a few examples on the spot.

Lei and several low-level mages listened carefully. As members of the school, they also tried a lot to keep up with Roland's footsteps.

Compared to last time, they had fewer doubts and were a little more convinced.

"Although we also have some doubts, it is related to magic...

But since you've already thought about it, let's try it first.

Only in this way, the spell must also follow up. "

Leu is also an experienced rune mage.

He knew that, just like written and spoken language, runes and incantations in the field of magic also belonged to different systems.

Even the runic schools have their own areas of specialization.

Most of them are proficient in the field of writing, and there is really no research on this aspect.

Roland said: "It doesn't matter. I have entrusted a professional to conduct an evaluation. There will be supporting research on the improvement of spelling."

Everyone was surprised: "That professional is..."

Roland didn't keep a secret, and directly announced the answer: "Ms. Lunifuss."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

But immediately, everyone nodded in approval.

Lunifers was originally the one who jointly published the pinyin scheme with Roland and formulated the original Siris spell.

There is no objection to her leading the improvement of the vernacular.

……

Art Rhine, Arcane World.

With the publication of a series of newspapers such as "Arcane Newsletter" and "Arcane Review", the momentum of Roland's previous paper, "Introduction to the Analysis Method of Seres Language", gradually emerged.

Scout, Yiwen, Dillant, Georg and others did not have a smooth channel of information, but by this time, they had already begun to learn about Roland's new achievements.

"This is qualitative analysis at the linguistic level!"

"Magic structure, new tools are available!"

Just like some grammatical and semantic deconstructions, it is helpful for the development of word segmentation tools.

The word segmentation tool is also helpful for natural language processing in the computer field.

The field of magic also needs to apply some related things.

What is reflected here is the hierarchical system of language symbols.

At the same time, at the Siris language joint study meeting in Nevis City.

After a period of development, the school has grown stronger and stronger, and the number of members coming and going here has also increased visible to the naked eye.

Some members of the school have already had the idea of ​​going to the world of Reiner to assist Roland in his career.

After reading this article, I was even more excited.

"Your Excellency Roland and Lord Lei are working hard at Reiner World, and we can't fall too far behind.

Complete your respective studies or work handover as soon as possible, and go to Leiner! "

"Yes, we will also go to Reiner to build a school together!"

At this time, a member of the school came out with the recently released "Universal Character List", together with the "Proposal on Launching the Vernacular Chinese Movement", and announced to everyone with a happy face.

"Everyone come here, listen carefully to me, this is the latest signed article by Your Excellency Roland..."

"Simplified Chinese and vernacular Chinese are combined, and the building in Seres is about to be completed!"

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the building in Seres is about to be completed.

However, members of this school have such cognitions, and they can't be wrong.

Because those poems, songs, and gorgeous articles belong to the field of literature.

And they are linguists, rune mages.

For a time, there was a lot of enthusiasm.

……

A few days later, the time came to February 2th.

Discussions about simplified Chinese characters and vernacular Chinese in the arcane world were raging, and it became even more lively.

Only then did everyone realize that they really appeared in pairs.

Roland chose to release it at such a time, and it was by no means aimless.

It is basically to solve the problem of language and magic popularization.

As for its own performance...

Ithel Mage Tower, in Lunifuth's study.

Snow Country is as cold as ever, it's freezing outside, and the white snow is like flying feathers.

But in the room, the magic circle built by the magic circle blocks the cold air. Inside the fireplace, the energy provided by the fire element heats the air, sending out warm air continuously, making the surroundings warm like spring.

In the center of the room, in front of the huge long table, a plump and mature figure reclined in meditation, like an ice and snow goddess carved from white jade, her long hair shone with a charming golden luster.

In front of her, several magical quills were dancing among the flowers like spirit fairies, dancing at a dizzying speed.

Suddenly, the quill wrote the last character and stopped.

Lunephth also opened her eyes, and stretched her waist long.

The thin blanket covering her body slipped off, revealing her perfect figure covered in silk pajamas.

With a chuckle, she cast her eyes on the manuscript that had just been completed on the table, and said with satisfaction: "This "History of the Development of Magic Spells" is finally completed!"

After talking to herself, Lunifuss couldn't wait to use the "screen casting technique", and found Roland with the help of the magic net's mail system, and shared the good news with him.

"Congratulations!" Roland immediately sent a reply when he heard about this.

"Honey, it's also thanks to you for helping me complete the last piece of the puzzle.

It's as if, in the days of Snow Country and Nevis City, it helped me fill the emptiness..."

Luneves's face was a little bit happy, and she said with a red face.

"Suddenly I miss you a little bit, when will I return to Arteline, let's meet?"

At this time, Roland had already figured out her way. He had just finished a relatively important thesis or arcane book, and he was quite excited and quite...

Empty and lonely and cold.

"I miss you as well……"

She hurriedly comforted her with sweet words, and then brought the topic back to her arcane achievements.

Speaking of this, Lunifuss was full of energy: "I happen to have an outline in my hand, so I have to show you."

"Compendium of the History of the Development of Magic Spells"?
Roland was refreshed, and soon opened the new email and read it.

This work discusses exactly one problem.

The magic of the vernacular, the related concepts of "emotion", "soul", "spirituality" and so on...

Can it maintain the level of super magic like the previous Celesian achievements!
Anyway, let's look at the conclusion first.

Roland directly turned to the last page.

Lunifers understood him very well, and also knew what he really cared about, so she gave a very clear conclusion: the vernacular is completely sufficient to carry the "meaning" of Seres, and to maintain the Seres magic built by the entire language system!

In other words, it is an authentic subset of Seres, similar to the evolution of Jiajin Zhuanli.

Consistency, continuity, and super magic power are beyond doubt!

(It's the end of the month, I'm asking for a subscription and a monthly pass, I hope everyone can support the genuine version as much as possible.)
　It's the end of the month, ask for a wave of monthly tickets, and subscriptions.In the second half of this month, it has been free for a limited time, and there is still a lack of follow-up orders, which leads to the fact that it cannot be included in the combat power list. In addition, the entry point of the subject matter of this book is destined to be unpopular. I hope everyone can support it.
