内容简介(Abstract):
The report focuses on voicing processes of identity construction among migrants in globalization. China's phenomenal internal migration, both rural-urban and “elite” migration, is part of globalization in which people relocate to a different place with a baggage of linguistic and cultural “belongings”, enter into everyday encounters with the local communities. In such encounters and exchanges of social and linguistic values, some voices are heard or achieved their desired functions, while others are silenced, lost, or ascribed new meanings. This research therefore attempts to investigate the voicing process through three empirical examples. The three examples instantiate the re-stratification of the Chinese society and China's deeper involvement in the world economy. |
