West meets East: The influence of Dutch clergymen in 17th century Taiwan

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper begins with a brief historical overview of the Dutch in Formosa (1627-1661) detailing the reasons they were there, the things they observed, and the ways they altered the local cultural and political landscape. It then concentrates on the Protestant clergymen who came in the wake of the Dutch East India Company. As a by-product of their missionary activities they collected data on some of the languages and cultures of western Taiwan which would become invaluable for a better understanding of the history of that part of the island. Their scholarly achievements include the ‘Discourse’, a detailed ethnographic description written in 1628 by Georgius Candidius, and various texts and vocabularies documenting two Formosan languages, Siraya and Favorlang. The linguistic materials clearly signal some of the challenges the clergymen must have encountered while learning these languages and trying to use them in their religious teachings.
