    The Menggu-Ziyun (abbr. MZ) has not been regarded as more important material for the phonological study of Old Mandarin than the Zhongyuan-Yinyun, although it is actually worthwhile. The reason is that the voiced initials seem to be preserved in the MZ and that it would be possible to consider the MZ to be reflection of the Southern dialect, not of the Old Mandarin.
    With regard to the problem, a different point of view will be given in this paper, especially by reference to the Wuyin-Jiyun (abbr. WJ). We have sufficient reason to assert that the WJ played an important role when the MZ was compiled. Between the MZ and the WJ, there are striking similarities as follows:
    i) Syllables are arranged in erder of their initials, starting with the jianmu initial and ending with the rimu initial.
    ii) The characters “etc. ” have the weimu initial.
    iii) The arrangement of characters is very similar to each other.
    If the explanation is convincing that the MZ inherited many things from the WJ, it would be possible that the category of the voiced initials in the MZ is also a part of the inheritance from the WJ.

    The syntactic category is an issue of degree in Mandarin Chinese as well as in other languages of the world. The relationship between verbs and coverbs (preposition) has been discussed for several decades, yet no clear explanation has been given due to historical connection and the semantic continuity. In this paper, I will take GEI as an example, and illustrate the correlation between GEI as a verb and GEI as a coverb from a grammaticalizational perspective which considers language as a process. This paper attempts to give a comparatively detailed description of its grammatical functions such as dative and benefactive. It will be shown that the motivation for the categorical shift of GEI and its acquisition of various functions should be sought in the speaker's viewpoint and the interpersonal situation.

    This paper deals with an association which connects a third person pronoun and its antecedant. The following points are the focus of discussion: (i) in chinese narrative texts, the association has “Spotlight effect” which makes the referent of an antecedant more prominent than other constituents, (ii) This effect is utilized when the writer keeps his eyes on certain object (s), and it also, (iii) mainly involves the subject/theme position rather than attributive position or complementary position.
