A Dictionary of Chinese Characters by Stewart Paton
By arranging frequently used characters under the phonetic element they have in common, rather than only under their radical, the dictionary encourages the student to link characters according to their phonetic. It helps to fix in the memory the link between a character and its sound and meaning.'The whole thrust of the work is that it is more helpful to learners of Chinese characters to see them in terms of sound, than in visual termsIt is a radical, provocative and constructive idea. The book would be ideal for teachers of Chinese language and for students beyond elementary level, as well as for anyone learning on their own.' -- Dr. Valerie Pellatt, University of Newcastle
'This volume would be a valuable supplemental study aid for those learning Chinese, when used in conjunction with a standard Chinese-English dictionary.' -- Choice
'A valuable aid for any library serving learners of the Chinese Language' -- Reference Reviews
Dr Stewart Paton was Head of the Department of Languages at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, from 1976 to 1981.
