<< review queue entry 62898 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> [Fa3 lun2 Gong1] --> [Fa3 lun2 gong1] I agree with the following remarks: <<Should it be Falun Gong or Falungong? I realize that in the media and perhaps even in the literature of the religion itself Falun Gong is being widely used. However, according to the General Guidelines 0.2 of the "Basic Rules for Hanyu Pinyin Orthography" adopted by the State Language Commission of the PRC, structures of two or three syllables which express an integral concept are to be written together as one word. In contrast, according to guideline 0.3, terms of four or more syllables which express an integral concept are to be divided on the basis of word boundaries or juncture, hence Falun Dafa. Falungong is a type of "qigong", but when the "qi" of that word is elided, the remaining "gong" joins directly to a bisyllabic term which modifies it. "Gong" is a bound syllable and normally does not stand alone in Mandarin.>> http://www.white-clouds.com/iclc/cliej/cl11mair.htm |
