| Description: |
This book presents a picture of the current state and use of English in Hong Kong from sociolinguistic, structural and literary perspectives. It addresses the question of Hong Kong English's autonomy both by exploring its distinctive nature and by presenting examples of its growing literary creativity. |
| Synopsis: |
The dominant view of many linguists and educators has been that Hong Kong English is a variety of the language that is derived from, and dependent on, the metropolitan norm of British English. |
