Description

Language and Social Change in China: Undoing Commonness through Cosmopolitan Mandarin presents a groundbreaking analysis of language's transformative role in shaping contemporary Chinese society. Drawing on extensive sociolinguistic data collected since the 1990s, this scholarly work combines quantitative research and discourse analysis to examine how Cosmopolitan Mandarin has emerged as a distinctive stylistic resource among China's urban elite and affluent middle class. The author tracks this linguistic shift in relation to consumption-based lifestyles and modernisation trends, offering readers deep insight into the intricate relationship between language variation and social stratification in present-day China. This authoritative account bridges linguistic theory and cultural sociology, making it essential for scholars, researchers, and students of Chinese language, sociolinguistics, and contemporary Asian studies.
