The book tackles areas such as grammar, language, gender, popular culture, film and the Chinese diaspora and employs the concepts of social semiotics to extend the ideas of language and reading. Covering a range of cultural texts, it will help to break down the boundaries around the ideas and identities of East and West and provide a more relevant analysis of the Chinese and China. 410 0$aCulture and communication in Asia. 606 $aChinese language$xPolitical aspects 606 $aChinese language$xSocial aspects 606 $aLanguage and culture$zChina 615 0$aChinese language$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aChinese language$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aLanguage and culture 676 $a306.0951 676 $a306.20951 700 $aHodge$b Bob$g(Robert Ian Vere)$0201357 701 $aLouie$b Kam$0641365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820027903321 996 $aThe politics of Chinese language and culture$93993403 997 $aUNINA
