Do you have any updates on whether analyzing rhyming schemes through the use of networks in Old Chinese poetry can contribute substantially to more accurate reconstructions of Old Chinese phonology? <br /><br />Have you tested this on any Middle Chinese poetry collections where scholarly reconstructions of phonology are on more solid ground and are less tentative?
