Die chinesische Schrift galt lange Zeit als ideographisch - man glaubte, dass jedes Schriftzeichen eine Idee oder Vorstellung unmittelbar wiedergab. Gerade deshalb erschien sie vielen Gelehrten und Wissenschaftlern als Vorbild für ein universales Schriftsystem. Diesen Mythos der Ideographie und andere hartnäckige Mythen zu bekämpfen, war das Anliegen des amerikanischen Linguisten und Sinologen John DeFrancis (1911-2009). Sein Buch The Chinese Language - Fact and Fantasy, das jetzt erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vorgelegt wird, erschien 1984. Es gilt noch immer als die beste Einführung eines Sprachwissenschaftlers in die chinesische Sprache und Schrift.
Das Werk wendet sich an Chinawissenschaftler, Lehrer und Studenten der chinesischen Sprache gleicherma en. Auch allgemein interessierte Leser finden leicht Zugang zur Materie: John DeFrancis ist es in seinem Buch gelungen, das Wissen darüber, wie die chinesische Schrift tatsächlich funktioniert, unterhaltsam und interessant zu vermitteln, ohne dass man Vorkenntnisse in Linguistik mitbringen muss. Au erdem gibt DeFrancis einen historischen Überblick über Versuche, die chinesische Schrift zu reformieren, z.B. durch Vereinfachung von Schriftzeichen oder durch Einführung verschiedener alphabetischer Transkriptionssysteme.
Das Buch, zuweilen humorvoll und geradezu spannend zu lesen, ist im sprachlichen Duktus bewusst offen gehalten fur alle möglichen Leser, Laien wie Experten. Zwanzig Jahre nach seiner Erstveröffentlichung wird es einen postmodern geschulten Linguisten zumindest wissenschaftsgeschichtlich interessieren. Dem nicht-linguistischen Sinologen sowie allen anderen, die sich mehr wünschen als blo oberflächliche Einblicke in die Besonderheit und Problematik der chinesischen Sprache und Schrift, deren kulturelle und politische Bedeutung, sei dieses Buch wärmstens empfohlen.
