Scholars have a longstanding fascination with the interplay between English-related linguistic creativity and language commodification, and this volume aims to foster a conversation between these two areas of study that have often been discussed separately but rarely in conjunction with one another. In the context of mainland China, the volume explores the extent to which English is utilized in the daily lives of individuals beyond the realm of education, presenting it as a case study that remains somewhat unclear in this regard. By examining the innovative and creative applications of English in people's lives and its commodification in various language-centered economic spaces within China, the volume adds to the existing body of empirical research in these fields. Additionally, it provides an update on our understanding of the sociolinguistic landscape of English in China, a country undergoing rapid socio-economic transformation.
English in China serves as the inaugural exploration of the potential relationship, intersection, and tension between two seemingly inseparable research topics. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars engaged in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Bilingualism, Sociolinguistics, Translation, and Contemporary Chinese Studies.
