In China, a country with a vast array of regional and local vernaculars, how was this national language created \u2013 and how did people learn to speak it? <em>The Sounds of Mandarin<\/em> traces the surprising social history of a spoken standard, from its creation as the national language of the early Republic in 1913, to its journey to postwar Taiwan, and its reconfiguration as the \u201ccommon language\u201d of the People\u2019s Republic after 1949.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-key=\"13\"><span data-key=\"14\">This book talk will focus on Taiwan from 1945-1955, when the triangular competition between Japanese <em>kokugo<\/em>, a newly arrived <em>guoyu<\/em>, and the island\u2019s varied vernacular speech confounded the Guomindang\u2019s attempt to mandate a change in speech norms. In the formative years of the post \u201cretrocession\u201d period, the government\u2019s language agenda was derailed by an acute teacher shortage, and by the perception that mainlanders could hardly speak the national language themselves. Over the course of a decade, even as <em>guoyu<\/em> was elevated as the new prestige language, patchy enforcement and popular rejection indicated that the national language could not mask its uncertain status as an interloper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3517\"
