Multilingual Hong Kong: A Sociolinguistic Case Study of Code-Switching
Using multilingual Hong Kong as a case in point, this program makes the hot-button phenomenon known as language-mixing easily accessible to any viewer through interviews with dozens of Hong Kong residents. Their explanations of why and when they mix Cantonese and English reveal much about cultural identity in cosmopolitan populations and the effects of globalization. Scholarly analysis is provided by specialists from The University of Hong Kong and the City University of Hong Kong. Portions are in Chinese with English subtitles. (32 minutes) The DVD version has on-demand English and Chinese subtitles. The VHS version has burned-in English subtitles.
