Chinese English as a Lingua Franca: an ideological inquiry
Wang, Ying. - : Routledge, 2017
Abstract: This chapter looks into this conceptual paradox by addressing the questions about the connection in parallel engagement, with a focus on Chinese users of ELF in China. It proceeds from the discussion of different approaches to English in relation to China so as to contextualise the grouping of Chinese speakers on the basis of their contact with English. Then it considers the grouping of Chinese ELF users by comparing different concepts of communities and presents empirical data as to how Chinese ELF users engage the connection among themselves. The paper concludes with the argument that Chinese speakers’ own English as a lingua franca is not defined in linguistic terms but in ideological terms, with the notion of China having implications for an imagined community of Chinese ELF speakers.
