Linguistics made a great step forward when Bloomfield rejected, “mentalism”. But linguists cannot study language in the same manner as physicists study physical phenomena. The author tries to expound this point with illustrations. He also maintains that even most mechanstic phonemicsts are utilizing meaning in their phonemic analyses. Thus, he says that linguists cannot be radical mechanists although they must strive to be as objective as possible.

une démonstratin méthodeque de l'impossibilité détablir le systéme tonématique de la langue Po-i (_??__??_) attestée dansle Hoa-i I-yu (_??__??__??__??_).
Dans les langues tai, en général, le ton de chapue motsyllabe aurait été déterminé par sa structure phonique originelle (non actuelle), mais le système des tons y est réalisé d'une mamère diverse, mais régulière, suivant la langue; et on peut y en établir des séries de correspondances tonématiques comoparativement exactes.
Or la forme phonique de chaque mot Po-i est représentée (ou dessinée) dans le Hoa-i I-yu par des caractères chinois dont le ton est tout arbitraire et absurde pour chaque série
Etant impossible de prévoir la manière de réalisation tonématique d'une langue tai, il est aussi impossible d'en établir un système des tons du Po-i.

The fan-cHieh spelling is the method, in Chinese phonology, of representing the sound of a Chinese character by means of presents one of the two elements into which represents one of the two elements into which the sound of the original character is analyzed. The first scholar who adopted this method has been supposed to be Sun Yen (_??__??_, d. c 260 A. D.). But the recent studies have revealed that, already towards the end of the second century, fu Chien (_??__??_) ying Shao (_??__??_) and some others had adopted it.
There arise two questions as to the origin of this method, i. e.(1) Whether the fan-ch'ieh spelling was originally meant to indicate the so-called four tones or not, (2) By what this method was suggested.
In order to solve the first problem, the author has compared the quotations in the later works (_??__??_) of “Sun Yen's ü;Êrh-ya-'yin”(_??__??__??_) with the fan-ch'ien spelling of the “Kuang-yün lexicon”(_??__??_, pub. 1008A. D. It preserves, as a rule, the phonological system of the language of Ch'ieh-yün (_??__??_).), and found that the individual characters which compose the spelling are not always the same, but the tone given in the Kuang-yün of second character of the spelling (_??__??__??__??_) which is to represent the tone almost always agrees with that of the character the pronuncation of which is represented by the combination of the two characters (such a character is called “_??__??_”). Accordingly, the author. consider that the distinctions between the four tones, the rhetorical values of which was emphasized by Shên Yuüh (_??__??_) and others early in the sixth century, had been already recognized as a phonological element in the third century.
As to the second question, the author persumes that the idea of fan-ch'ieh spelling was suggested by the method of phonemic analysis spelling was suggested by the method of phonemic analysis applied to “Wu-yin-chia”(_??__??__??_), a sort of onomancy practised in China as early as the first century B. C., rather than was influenced by the phonology of India, as has hitherto been maintained. On the other hand the fact that Li Têng's (_??__??_) lexicon “Shêng-lei”(_??__??_) and Lü Ching's “Yün-chi”(_??__??_) in the third century classified the Chinese characters under “five sounds”(_??__??_) give us another clue.

The author has studied the occurrences and correspondences of the initials _??__??__??__??_ in modern Shan-hsi dialects, and he presumes that, the value of each of these initial sounds at the time of the T'ang dynasty must have been as follows; _??__??_:[mb] - [m], _??__??_ (_??_): [nd] - [n^d] - [n], _??_ (_??_): [ng] - [η](in some dialects [η⁹]). It is worthy of note, from the view point of linguistic geography in China, that, although such alternations are still perceivable in the so-called. Sino-Tibetan Border-land, there is not a trace to be found in the dialects of hsi-an (former Ch'ang-au) and its vicenity and the whole South Shan-hsi.
