Books in this series provide concise, up-to-date documentation for varieties of English from
around the world. Written by experts who have conducted first-hand research, the volumes
provide a starting point for anyone wishing to know more about a particular dialect. Each
volume follows a common structure, covering the background, phonetics and phonology,
morphosyntax, lexis and history of a variety of English, and concludes with an annotated
bibliography and some sample texts.
HONG KONG ENGLISH
Jane Setter, Cathy S. P. Wong and Brian H. S. Chan
This volume provides an overview of all aspects of Hong Kong English in a
style designed for undergraduates and general readers. As a former British
colony, Hong Kong used English as the language of government, law and
education in the early days of colonial rule. Since the Handover from British
to Chinese rule in
1997,
it is no longer used as the primary language of
government; however, the status of English has survived the decline of
colonial rule, as English has become an international language which is
indispensable for a service-oriented economy such as present-day Hong Kong.
Its use is still widespread in legal contexts, and English is the medium of
instruction in at least a quarter of secondary schools.
Outwith the realm of education, English is important as a means of
international communication in the fields of banking and finance, business,
and in the tourism and hospitality industry. English is therefore integrated
into Hong Kong life in various ways and this has resulted in a thriving and
developing variety of English. This book describes English in Hong Kong as a
linguistic phenomenon from the point of view of language structure, but also
takes into account historical,
socio-cultural
and socio-political developments.
Jane Setter is Senior Lecturer in Phonetics in the Department of Applied
Linguistics at the University of Reading. Cathy S. P. Wong is Assistant
Professor in the Department of English at The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University. Brian H. S. Chan is Assistant Professor in the Department of
English at the University of Macau.
