Abstract:

This book explores socio-cultural meanings of ‘self’ in the Chinese language
through analysing a range of conversations among Chinese immigrants to
Australia qualitatively on the topics of individuality, social relationships
and collective identity. If language, culture and cognition are major roads,
this book is the junction that unites them by arguing that selfhood occurs at
their interface. It provides an interdisciplinary approach to unpack
manifestations and perceptions of ‘self’ in the contemporary Chinese diaspora
discourse from the perspectives of Sociolinguistics, Cognitive Linguistics and
the newly developed Cultural Linguistics. This book not only discusses
empirical and theoretical issues on the conceptualisation and communication of
social identity in a cross-cultural context, it also reveals how traditional
and modern ideas in Chinese culture are interacting with those of other world
cultures. Considering the power of language, enduring and emerging beliefs and
stances that permeate these speakers’ views on their social being and outlooks
on life impart their significance in cross-cultural communication and
pragmatics.
