TY - JOUR A1 - LaPolla, Randy J. T1 - A computer application of Matthew Chen's "From Middle Chinese to Modern Mandarin" T2 - Journal of Chinese linguistics = Zhongguo-yuyan-xuebao N2 - This paper discusses an attempt to write a computer program that would properly model the phonological development of Chinese from Middle Chinese to Modern Peking Mandarin, using the rules in Chen 1976. Several problems are encountered, the most significant being that the rules cannot apply in the same order for all lexical items. The significance of this in terms of the implementation of sound change is briefly discussed.
