Chineses in the Diaspora
Abstract
This book analyzes the multilingual and multidialectal practices of Chinese Americans in Los Angeles, describing the interaction of distinct Chineses in a diasporic setting. It demonstrates how ethnolinguistic repertoires are used to form localized Chinese identities and world Chineses with different degrees of divergence from standard Putonghua.
