Chinese Englishes: A Sociolinguistic HistoryCambridge University Press, 2 de nov. de 2006 - 360 páginas This book explores the history of the English language in China from the arrival of the first English-speaking traders in the early seventeenth century to the present. Kingsley Bolton uses early word-lists, satirical cartoons and data from journals and memoirs, as well as more conventional sources, to uncover the forgotten history of English in China and to show how contemporary Hong Kong English has its historical roots in Chinese pidgin English. The book also considers the varying status of English in Mainland China over time, and recent developments since 1997. |
