In this volume, Li Wei brings together contributions from
well-known and emerging scholars in socio- and anthropological
linguistics working on different linguistic and communicative
aspects of the Chinese diaspora. The project examines the Chinese
diasporic experience from a global, comparative perspective, with a
particular focus on transnational links, and local social and
multilingual realities. Contributors address the emergence of new
forms of Chinese in multilingual contexts, family language policy
and practice, language socialization and identity development,
multilingual creativity, linguistic attitudes and ideologies, and
heritage language maintenance, loss, learning and re-learning. The
studies are based on empirical observations and investigations in
Chinese communities across the globe, including well-researched
(from a sociolinguistic perspective) areas such as North America,
Western Europe and Australia, as well as under-explored and
under-represented areas such as Africa, Latin America, Central
Asia, and the Middle East; the volume also includes detailed
ethnographic accounts representing regions with a high
concentration of Chinese migration such as Southeast Asia. This
volume not only will allow sociolinguists to investigate the link
between linguistic phenomena in specific communities and wider
socio-cultural processes, but also invites an open dialogue with
researchers from other disciplines who are working on migration,
diaspora and identity, and those studying other language-based
diasporic communities such as the Russian diaspora, the Spanish
diaspora, the Portuguese diaspora, and the Arabic diaspora.
