Abstract:
Neoteric studies on the sociolinguistics of China point to a changing linguistic scene that sees English growing in terms of popularity and importance particularly among young people. So popular is the language that some are also claiming to speak it as their mother tongue. This article seeks to explore this matter further by investigating contemporaneous English use vis-?-vis among Generation Z. The findings reveal that young citizens are highly competent multilinguals, who hold English in high regard. Consequently, they claim English to be the language they are proficient in. However, what is most intriguing is their association of English with the Chinese identity, something that was almost unheard of before.
