In a globalised society English has emerged as the international lingua franca. China is no exception, yet the place and usage of English in China is a unique case. In this book, the authors examine the reasons behind this: the influence of the Chinese language on English, resulting in Chinese English and Chinglish; the influence of Chinese culture; and the difficulties that often arise in communication, including mistakes, mistranslation, etc. Examples of common errors are provided along with a linguistic analysis of how they occur. The authors discuss the implications for English language teaching in China and arrive at the conclusion that such a hybrid variety of English is a cultural phenomenon which is unlikely to disappear.
