Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

This book makes a novel contribution to the sociolinguistics of globalization
by examining the dynamics between language and social change in the tourism
destination of West Street, Yangshuo, China. The author makes use of multiple
sources, including ethnographic interviews, tourist literature, public signage
and policy documents, to examine how tourist mobilities are embedded in and
interact with historical, geographical, social, cultural, economic and
semiotic factors in the creation of a ‘global village’. The transformation of
West Street is emblematic of changes in Chinese society under globalization,
revealing new subjectivities, tensions and struggles inherent in this ongoing
process of social change.
