Chinese and English are the world’s largest languages, and the number of interpreter-mediated interactions involving Chinese and English speakers has increased exponentially over the last 30 years. This book presents and describes examples of Chinese–English interpreting across a large number of settings: conference interpreting; diplomatic interpreting; media interpreting; business interpreting; police, legal and court interpreting; and healthcare interpreting. Interpreters working in these fields face not only the challenge of providing optimal inter-lingual transfer, but also need to fully understand the discourse-pragmatic conventions of both Chinese and English speakers. This innovative book provides an overview of established and contemporary frameworks of intercultural communication and applies these to a large sample of Chinese–English interpreted interactions. The authors introduce the Inter-Culturality Framework as a descriptive tool to identify and describe the strategies and footings that interpreters adopt. This book contains findings from detailed data with Chinese–English interpreters as experts not only in inter-lingual exchange, but cross-linguistic and intercultural communication. As such, it is a detailed and authoritative guide for trainees as well as practising Chinese–English interpreters.

This book offers a distinct exploration of Chinese English – which has the largest rising population of speakers in the World Englishes (WE) family.Xu focuses on the fundamental issues of "names" and "norms" that are closely related to Chinese English and the "narratives" of the speakers of Chinese English. In addition to current approaches to WE research, this book proposes a novel theoretical and analytical framework based on classical Chinese and Western philosophies. The volume has an empirical basis, drawing upon interview and questionnaire survey data from proficient speakers of Chinese English. It is also based on an extensive review of the relevant literature on both WE and Chinese English, and it draws upon the author’s research experience of over two decades on the subject.This is the third research book on Chinese English that the author has contributed to WE literature and it will be a valuable read for students and scholars alike.

This book traces the history, sociolinguistics and structure of world Englishes and examines the complexities of English(es) and the transmedia narratives of their users in modern-day international universities and workplaces. The authors walk readers through the various frameworks and models that have been proposed to account for the spread of English as a global language, examine some of the critiques and debates that have shaped the field, and then discuss the unfolding and contextually bound nature of English as it is used in local environments. Written accessibly, and including features such as discussion questions, practical exercises and activities, case study examples and extensive suggestions for further reading, this book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of applied linguistics and language education, sociolinguistics, intercultural studies, English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and World Englishes. It will also be useful to teachers, linguists and other language professionals interested in English in professional, pedagogical and global contexts.
