Descriptif
This presentation focuses largely on the introduction of Old Chinese linguistic reconstruction and Chinese palaeography. It describes a traditional framework widely taught to and used by palaeographers in China, and contrasts it with Baxter and Sagart's approach. Examples are shown of how excavated texts can be used to test the hypotheses of our reconstruction to fill in missing information, and to correct errors.
