Reviews
“Wong's book is the first comprehensive, corpus-based analysis of lexico-grammatical and discourse-related phenomena in Hong Kong English. In its scope and analytical depth, this landmark publication will be a standard reference for future research on this fascinating variety.” (Prof Hans-Georg Wolf, Chair of the Development and Variation of the English Language programme, Department of English and American Studies, University of Potsdam, Germany; co-author of A Dictionary of Hong Kong English (Hong Kong University Press, 2011))
