The present study aims to investigate what changes have been made in language attitudes toward Cantonese, English, and Putonghua in Hong Kong over the twenty-three years after the political handover, and to scrutinize the relationships between language attitudes and other related factors. A questionnaire survey was randomly conducted and follow-up interviews were also performed in Hong Kong during the pro-democracy protests. The results report that Hongkongers have firmly sustained the status of Cantonese as their heritage language and they are highly inclined to English as well, whereas Putonghua was rated the lowest. This article claims that language attitudes in Hong Kong were deeply intertwined with their regional identity and sociopolitical movements against the power from mainland China.
Abstract
The present study aims to investigate what changes have been made in language attitudes toward Cantonese, English, and Putonghua in Hong Kong over the twenty-three years after the political handover, and to scrutinize the relationships between language attitudes and other related factors. A questionnaire survey was randomly conducted and follow-up interviews were also performed in Hong Kong during the pro-democracy protests. The results report that Hongkongers have firmly sustained the status of Cantonese as their heritage language and they are highly inclined to English as well, whereas Putonghua was rated the lowest. This article claims that language attitudes in Hong Kong were deeply intertwined with their regional identity and sociopolitical movements against the power from mainland China.
