• Sommario/riassunto: This major new reference work provides a comprehensive overview of linguistic phenomena in Mandarin and other dialects in a global context, highlighting the dynamic interaction between those languages and English. Through state-of-the-art accounts of various sub-fields such as applied linguistics, machine translation, English subtitling as cross-cultural mediation, technology in Chinese language teaching and global business communication, this Handbook offers a significant contribution to the field of Chinese language and linguistics. Examining fast-growing linguistic research areas on Chinese languages, ranging from research on language contact, Linguistic Typology, Cognitive Linguistics, Pragmatics, Forensic Linguistics, to Sinitic Kinship studies, it focuses on language contact situations inside and outside China, including the Cantonese and Hokkien diaspora, and Sinitic languages notably along the Belt and Road. Exploring how key Chinese concepts were coined at the beginning of the 20th century through interaction with European languages and how they have evolved, it also includes topics on the search for a universal language in the Chinese language context. Addressing core issues within Chinese language and culture and focusing on the sites and forms of interaction between Chinese and English, this Handbook encompasses a rich overview of the field, offering a global and interdisciplinary tool for students and researchers across the field of Chinese language and linguistics.
