Multilingual China explores the dynamics of multilingualism in one
of the most multilingual countries in the world. This edited
collection comprises frontline empirical research into a range of
important issues that arise from the presence of 55 official ethnic
minority groups, plus China's search to modernize and strengthen
the nation's place in the world order. Topics focus on the dynamics
of national, ethnic minority and foreign languages in use, policy
making and education, inside China and beyond. Micro-studies of
language contact and variation are included, as are chapters
dealing with multilingual media and linguistic landscapes. The book
highlights tensions such as threats to the sustainability of weak
languages and dialects, the role and status of foreign languages
(especially English) and how Chinese can be presented as a viable
regional or international language. Multilingual China will appeal
to academics and researchers working in multilingualism and
multilingual education, as well as sinologists keen to examine the
interplay of languages in this complex multilingual context.
