本課程為中文系語言學類課程。主要教學目的在使同學具備聲韻學基本知識，了解現代國語、方言與中古音系及語音演變的現象與規則。課程的設計強調漢語歷史研究的「 方法」、「觀念」與「材料」。由現代國語與漢語方言音系向上推展，銜接中古音系，研讀中古韻書、韻圖等文獻材料的同時，輔以歷史語言學中的比較方法理論，使同學了解如何構擬中古音系，並能進而研究上古音系。音系演變問題上則著重講授中古到現代及中古上推上古成系統的音變。
上半學期課程的焦點 放在建構漢語史的架構與學習語音學基本知識。下半學期則側重於中古音與現代音的聯繫，藉由中古到現代的相關知識，說明漢語語音史的重建過程、方法與語言發展的理論模型。

This course is a linguistics course in the Chinese Department. The main teaching purpose is to equip students with basic knowledge of phonology and understand the phenomena and rules of modern Mandarin, dialects, medieval phonology and phonetic evolution. The design of the course emphasizes the "methods", "concepts" and "materials" of Chinese historical research. From the phonology of modern Mandarin and Chinese dialects to the connection with the medieval phonology, while studying medieval rhyme books, rhyme pictures and other literary materials, supplemented by the theory of comparative methods in historical linguistics, students will understand how to construct the medieval phonology and then study the ancient phonology. On the issue of phonological evolution, the emphasis is on the phonetic changes from the Middle Ages to the modern period and from the Middle Ages to the ancient system.
The focus of the course in the first half of the semester is on constructing the structure of Chinese history and learning basic knowledge of phonetics. The second half of the semester focuses on the connection between medieval pronunciation and modern pronunciation, using relevant knowledge from the Middle Ages to modern times to explain the reconstruction process, methods and theoretical models of language development in the history of Chinese pronunciation.
