Gong, Tao and friends. 2013. Construction of Cross-Cultural Identity by Language Choice and Linguistic Practice: A Case-Study of Mixed Hong Kong-Mainland Identity in University Contexts. Open Journal of Modern Linguistics. September. Vol 3/3. Pg: 208-215.

This article examines the language choice and linguistic practice, especially code-mixing and code-switching, of the Mainland China students who are studying in universities of Hong Kong. The authors reveal a mixed Hong Kong-Mainland identity in these students. The participants are 13 Mainland students who had been studying in universities in Hong Kong for three to four year. The data were collected by qualitative and quantitative method by interviewing the participant for 20-30 minutes. The results are the students who hold a Mainland-oriented identity tend to have a Putonghua-dominated language choice and linguistic practice, whereas those who embrace a Hong Kong-oriented identity tend to prefer a Cantonese-dominated choice and practice. This mixed identity helps better conceive the social image of Mainland immigrants in Hong Kong and discuss the cross-cultural identity formed by linguistic practice.
