This book presents a much-needed discussion on ethnic
identification and morphosyntactic variation in San Francisco
Chinatown-a community that has received very little attention in
linguistic research. An investigation of original, interactive
speech data sheds light on how first- and second-generation Chinese
Americans signal (ethnic) identity through morphosyntactic
variation in English and on how they co-construct identity
discursively. After an introduction to the community's history, the
book provides background information on ethnic varieties in North
America. This discussion grounds the present book within existing
research and illustrates how studies on ethnic varieties of English
have evolved. The book then proceeds with a description of
quantitative and qualitative results on linguistic variation and
ethnic identity. These analyses show how linguistic variation is
only one way of signalling belonging to a community and highlight
that Chinese Americans draw on a variety of sources, most notably
the heritage language, to construct and negotiate (ethnic)
identity. This book will be of particular interest to linguists -
particularly academics working in sociolinguistics, language and
identity, and language variation - but also to scholars interested
in related issues such as migration, discrimination, and ethnicity.
