摘要
《中国言法》(Elements of Chinese Grammar)是英国传教士马士曼1814年出版的一部汉语研究著作,文中所用汉字有拉丁化注音。与此前《葡汉辞典》《西字奇迹》《西儒耳目资》等天主教士创制的拼音方案带有拉丁语、葡萄牙语、意大利语、法语色彩不同,《中国言法》使用的拼音方案是以英语为基础构建的,这要早于后期成为主流的威妥玛方案。这套方案的语音基础是当时的标准音,但是受作者当时学习条件的限制,也体现出了一些粤语的特点。
Elements of Chinese Grammar is a Chinese research book published by the English missionary Joshua Marshman in 1814, in which Chinese characters used are phoneticized. Unlike previous Pope's Pinyin scheme with some features of Portuguese, Italian and French, the Pinyin scheme used by the Elements of Chinese Grammar was based on English, which was earlier than the mainstream Thomas Francis Wade program. The phonetic basis of the program was the standard pronunciation at that time, but it was also limited by the learning conditions of the author at that time, and it also reflected some Cantonese features.
