Abstract:

China, with the world's largest population, numerous ethnic groups and vast
geographical space, is also rich in languages. Since 2006, China's State
Language Commission has been publishing annual reports on what is called
"language life" in China. These reports cover language policy and planning
invitatives at the national, provincial and local levels, new trends in
language use in a variety of social domains, and major events concerning
languages in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Now for the first
time, these reports are available in English for anyone interested in Chinese
languge and linguistics, China's languge, education and social policies, as
well as everyday language use among the ordinary people in China. The
invaluable data contained in these reports provide an essential reference to
researchers, professionals, policy makers, and China watchers.
