This topic is what I am writing my Linguistics Honors Thesis on. I am looking at how the structure of Chinese Characters provides a different level of meaning through visual representation, differing from other writing systems that reflect pronunciation and/or spoken language alone. I aim to look at this writing system, that has been simplified and fetishized, from an objective standpoint, to discuss controversies in Chinese Linguistics, and ultimately to highlight the beauty of Chinese Characters as a reflection of Chinese culture and history.
