| Title: | Understanding the identities of Hong Kong people through transgressive signs | Authors: | Lam, PWY | Issue Date: | 2022 | Source: | In SH Mirvahedi (Eds.), Linguistic landscapes in South-East Asia : the politics of language and public signage (pp. 141-161). Routledge, 2022 | Abstract: | A small city in South-East Asia, Hong Kong has made the headlines in international news in recent years when hundreds of thousands of people expressed their views on political and social matters time and time again through territory-wide protests. Ever since the change of sovereignty from Britain to China more than two decades ago, Hong Kong has experienced substantial social and political changes, which challenge, transform and cement the identities of its citizens. Despite that Hong Kong has long been a hotspot for linguistic landscape research, little scholarly work has specifically focused on the relationship between the linguistic landscape of the city and the identities of its people. In 1997, Hong Kong experienced the transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to the People’s Republic of China. | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis Group | ISBN: | 9781003166993 (Electronic) | Rights: | © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Seyed Hadi Mirvahedi; individual chapters, the contributors The right of Seyed Hadi Mirvahedi to be identified as the author of the editorial material, and of the authors for their individual chapters, has been asserted in accordance with sections 77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
