Abstract

The article offers preliminary thoughts on the issue regarding the Chinese exegesis, philology and linguistics with traditional assumptions and contemporary explorations as discussed by language professor Geoff Sampson. The argument on whether Old Chinese is similar to modern European languages in terms of homophony is mentioned. Also it tackles the process of replacing a monomorphemic lexicon by a bimorphemic vocabulary of classical documents.
