Abstract
The received model of Chinese linguistic history, and its associated historical linguistic methodologies, are found wanting in various respects. In particular, the latter field has become divorced from the study of actual spoken forms of Chinese of various places and periods and has instead focused almost exclusively on the exegesis of abstract sets or "systems" of philological data. A call is therefore issued for a new approach which refocuses the field on its appropriate object-the com- parative and historical study of human speech in China.
