2501:. I think "typeface" is an inaccuracy here. The term typically applies to moveable type, and although that had been invented by the Song, it wasn't really in use. Song-era publications were printed by carving the whole page into a woodblock, not individual characters. Although the scribes had extremely consistent graphic skills, identical characters were not produced identically. You can tell from the image that the witness depicted was printed in this fashion: the graphical differences are most obvious between the instances of

Chinese and Japanese (or Korean) languages are totally unrelated at the syntactic level. One Wikiapproach therefore would be a hard-to-read sentence mentioning "syntax"; a better one would be simpler, like the "structure and characteristics" expression (which I didn't write). I think possibly just saying "different characteristics" might be neater, but both are clearly better than the "function" idea.

I wasn't able to locate this source in Wilkinson's massive book, although he's usually really good about providing annotated bibliographic details of his sources everywhere.

More concretely, the concern seems to lie with the partial connection made between the typological differences between
Chinese and other languages, and the alphabetization of writing systems for the latter. I agree it's not the sole or even the primary reason—I intentionally did not explicate that it

It's not at all confusing in context, as the article is about
Chinese characters, and so is the entirety of the surrounding prose. Like you said, it's obvious what is meant. We call them "Chinese characters" or the localized equivalent consistently throughout, and not sinograms et al.—which is not my

If the view underlying the current text is that historical and/or social reasons were the major or primary factors leading Korean and
Vietnamese to no longer use characters, perhaps something like the following would reflect this underlying view more accurately: "Historical and/or social factors have

Aye—I realized over the course of writing and rewriting the lead that I can't adequately communicate a four-way relationship, so I went for the most general possible statement that was still held water.

or whatever). From personal experience, it is simply much easier to read
Japanese when written with kanji; for example, words to choral works are typically written in kana only, and (as a non-native reader) I find I go through and write the kanji underneath because I can read ahead much more easily.

More importantly, the above is an unnecessary qualifier: characters are obligatory in written
Japanese, while they are essentially optional or absent in written Korean, say. Just saying "in significant part" without further elucidation is just confuses the plain fact for the reader that Japanese is

I find "function" muddily weird and imprecise. How could two languages "function" differently? I might think of something like the difference between the vernacular, in which people just talk to each other, and court documents, in which long and flowery phrases convey erudition but little meaning.

I find the whole thesis unconvincing. Not to mention lacking evidence (for the real world) or "sources" for the W-world. There must be extralinguistic influences, but also one obvious linguistic difference is phonetics: Korean has a vastly larger range of phonemes, and can survive without the

Funny, this was actually one of the first books I read when researching sinograms, and I think that's why I haven't tried to cite it here for some reason. Obviously it's an RS and its claims are not particular to it, in addition to being a book I recommend quite often, so yeah good point!
2129:
I would dispute the content rather than the expression. Korean and
Japanese are typologically similar. So are Chinese and Vietnamese, but very different from K&J. The reasons each of these languages (including Chinese) kept or abandoned characters are mostly extra-linguistic.
2241:
I didn't realise that "parentheticals in parentheses" were only allowed if what, the precise parenthetical expression appears somewhere else? The body ought somewhere to convey the fact that in Japanese kanji are present to a large extent, whereas in both K and V they are

FWIW, (Chinese) characters are not "obligatory" in Japanese. The sentence is also immensely confusing because you are using "characters" to mean Sinographs or whatever we want to call them, while the rest of Japanese is also (obviously) written in (other sorts of)

It's not clear from Wilkinson which one of these he is citing, but the paragraph of his that we cite does appear at the end of section 1.1.1, "Old Chinese", and further paragraphs on polysyllables follow in later sections, without providing

2670:
Re: primary sources—this may seem backwards but it makes a lot of sense to me, I've characterized every source used for a claim "unto itself" (e.g. citing the I Ching for what the I Ching itself says) as primary. Does that make sense?
