Issues in Bilingualism and Biculturalism describes the nature and extent of codemixing in Hong Kong in the 1990s. It is mainly based on written data obtained from the local Chinese press collected systematically over a period of two years since late 1992. While previous studies on codemixing between Cantonese and English in Hong Kong tend to emphasize sociolinguistic motivations this book presents evidence that much of the codemixing behaviour be it in print or in speech may be traced back to linguistic motivations at work resulting from sustained between Cantonese modern standard Chinese and increasingly English. This study further argues that largely as a correlate of biculturalism codemixing which is indicative of linguistic convergence in the mind of the average Hong Kong bilingual is simply unstoppable given that the norms prescribed for the written standard varieties of Chinese and English deviate considerably from those of the vernacular Cantonese.
