Multilingual Hong Kong: Languages, Literacies and Identities

“Multilingual Hong Kong: Languages, Literacies and Identities is recommended reading for researchers with an interest in the linguistic Situation of Hong Kong, especially for those whose work is on multilingualism in post-colonial societies.” (Bernie Chun Nam Mak, Pragmatics and Society, Vol. 10 (2), July, 2019)

“David Li's book is therefore highly welcome, as it provides the reader with a thorough and up-to-date overview of the medium-of-instruction policies and debates in Hong Kong, while at the same time situating the policies within their historical and sociopolitical contexts. … this is an invaluable book for policy-makers in Hong Kong and elsewhere, as well as researchers working in the areas of language policy and planning, sociolinguistics and multilingual education.” (Jean-Jacques Weber, Journal of Sociolinguistics, Vol. 21 (4), September, 2017)

“Nevertheless, in skillfully combining extensive studies with rich data and rigorous analysis, this is one of the most reader-friendly books I have ever read about multilingual Hong Kong. … It is a page-turner that dwells upon complete factual grounds and highly clear exposition. I believe that the book is destined to become a required reading for those who share the same interest in multilingual Hong Kong as myself.” (Ye Zhu, The Journal of Asia TEFL, Vol. 3, 2017)
