Using wǒmen (we) to mean s/he in Chinese parents’ interaction
Using the first-person plural pronoun wǒmen (we) to refer to a child (=he/she) is repeatedly observed in Chinese parents’ interaction. To understand its interpersonal meanings, this study investigates this non-prototypical pronoun use in Chinese parents’ community of practice. The analysis shows that the non-prototypical use of this pronoun not only displays agency and connection between parents and children but also reveals the seemingly close b…
Creativity vs. misinterpretation in translanguaging contexts
Translanguaging studies have paid much attention to meaning-making processes, exploring multilingual speakers’ strategic selection of linguistic features from a holistic linguistic repertoire to convey meanings, and assuming that multilingual addressees can successfully decode the encoded meanings. Failure in the meaning-interpreting processes in relation to translanguaging contexts is largely ignored. To bridge the gap, this study explores Chine…
Enacting identity and ethnicity in transnational spaces
This study explores how a transient community of Chinese visiting scholars in the US negotiates the language norms and identity in the transnational spaces. Transient communities, being different from diasporic stable communities in terms of flexibility and fluidity of movements, are subject to continuous negotiation of social or language norms. With an ethnographic approach, I observed, documented and interviewed Chinese visiting scholars, explo…
Situated impoliteness revisited
Translanguaging as transnational spaces
This study examines the language practices of Chinese visiting scholars on WeChat and explores the representational meanings of their translanguaging practices. An ethnographic approach combining with systematic observation, WeChat screenshot data and interviews with Chinese visiting scholars is adopted to get hold of the richness of situated meanings and indexicalities of varied semiotic resources. It is found that translanguaging is often deplo…
