Abstract

As an unprecedented technological revolution transforms information and knowledge in this era, recent years have witnessed notable changes in linguistic research as well. This paper analyzes research on Chinese phonology/phonetics and orthography that has been conducted during the past ten years in four areas overseas, i.e., China, Taiwan, U.S., and Europe. It examines a large number of major research projects supported government fund and finds an important trend that interdisciplinary research and corpus-based research have increased to a great extent. It is also found that a considerable amount of linguistic research incorporating diverse disciplines, such as psychology, biology and computer science, has emerged in U.S. and Europe. It is suggested that researchers of Chinese phonology/phonetics and orthography be able to broaden research horizons and build cohesive knowledge on the language by integrating linguistic research and other disciplines.
