Being Indian in post-colonial Hong Kong: Models of ethnicity, culture and language among Sindhis and Sikhs in Hong Kong
Using data from four focus groups, this paper examines the ways in which Hong Kong Sindhis and Sikhs talk about ethnic identities and their relationships to culture and language. It finds that in all the groups, a range of different ‘cultural models’ (Gee, 1999 Gee, James Paul. 1999. An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method, London: Routledge. [Google Scholar]) of ethnicity, culture and language are drawn upon, with the same parti…
Being International, Local and Chinese: Advertisements on the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway
Advertising in Hong Kong draws on visual and linguistic resources from a number of overlapping cultural contexts, reflecting Hong Kong's multiple identities as an international, Chinese, Cantonese and post-colonial city. Examples of ads from the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway are examined to show how such resources may be deployed to create coherent bimodal and often bilingual texts. It is argued that the visual and linguistic resources in the ad…

The findings suggest that among the Sindhis, knowledge and use of Sindhi, Cantonese and Hindi are all declining and use of English has greatly increased even within the family. Among the Sikhs, however, despite some decline in knowledge and use of Punjabi and Hindi in the younger generation, there…

Customising Linguistics: Developing an Electronic Grammar Database for Teachers
This paper considers issues in customising descriptions of English grammar in the context of creating an electronic database for secondary school teachers in Hong Kong. In developing the database, we have aimed to incorporate insights from functional grammar and corpus linguistics while keeping the information accessible and relevant to teachers familiar only with traditional approaches to grammar. This has involved exploiting the advantages of h…
