The People's Republic of China has the largest number of English learners in the world, providing a unique situation for theorization of contact linguistics and world Englishes. History has rarely seen such devoted voluntary effort to learn a foreign (second) language by a vast majority of a society. The implications of this unprecedented sociolinguistic phenomenon cannot be characterized adequately in simplistic ESL and EFL terms. The resultant Chinese varieties of English must be understood in the light of the Chinese contexts.

520 $a The People's Republic of China has the largest number of English learners in the world, providing a unique situation for theorization of contact linguistics and world Englishes.

520 $a This dissertation answers the essential question of how to characterize performance varieties by adopting a comprehensive approach that investigates linguistic structures, bilingual education, language ideology, and literary creativity. It offers a historical review of Chinese Englishes from early Pidgin English to the most recent code-mixing by analyzing a number of representative texts from newspapers, textbooks, and creative writings. It finds that the linguistic exponents of “Chineseness” reside not only in cultural metaphors and political coinage, but also in nativalized discourse patterns, rhetoric strategies, and speech acts.
520 $a The current profile of attitudinal range and functional domains demonstrates the magnitude of English influence and depth of penetration in Chinese society. It is argued that nativization of English in China forms a CLINE, for the degrees of nativization in terms of English as a medium of intranational communication and English for international communication. This cline of proficiency is best represented by a polymodel (Kachru 1982b and later) which includes intelligibility levels, acquisitional stages, and regional differences. In certain domains, English is more of an accepted medium for intranational communication, e.g. science, technology, tertiary education, and media. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of world Englishes in the global context and points to directions for research in Chinese varieties of English
