The focus--though not exclusively--of Erling von Mende's research will be on the two foreign dynasties Jin and Qing and the opportunities and necessities of multilingualism, language learning, and competence. The languages involved are primarily Chinese, Jurchen, and Manchu, but other languages used in trade and foreign relations will be considered too.
