| Abstract | Tong King-sing’s Chinese-English Instructor (1862) was an ambitious attempt by an exceptional Chinese linguist to make the complete English language available to Chinese learners. At some time during the production of this six volume work, marginalia were added giving the pidgin English equivalent to some of the entries, especially the extended dialogues in volumes 4 and 6. This body of texts is the biggest single collection of CPE in existence, and so it is a valuable source of data for comparative work, especially in conjunction with the records made by English-speaking observers. Here a full record of the pidgin data from the Chinese-English Instructor is presented, with some preliminary comments on items of special interest pending a comprehensive analysis. |
