Zusammenfassung:DeFrancis (1984) has previously described the graphic situation in China as one of "emerging or projected digraphia" between Chinese characters & the Hanyu Pinyin Chinese Phonetic Alphabet, both officially recognized by the government of the Peoples Republic of China. This paper will assess the present graphic situation in China in terms of government policy toward the Hanyu Pinyin alphabet, the expanding educational use of Hanyu Pinyin, & the growing importance of Hanyu Pinyin for computerization of the Chinese language. 2 Figures, 21 References.
