内容摘要

香港是个多语地区,英语与中文并存的局面是历史发展的结果,一百多年来香港一直以英语为官方语言,九七回归以前,英语在香港享有主导地位,香港人的中文表达深受英语的影响,中文与英语的语码转换也甚为普遍。九七回归对香港的语言现象产生了相当大的影响,中文的重要性得到大力加强。本文从社会语言学的角度论述了香港回归中国前后英语在香港的地位。文中比较了香港在殖民地时期和九七回归后的语言政策,探讨了政治、经济、商业、教育等社会领域的发展和变化对英语地位的影响,并分析了香港居民对于英语、粤语、普通话的语言态度。作者认为,长期来看,中文在香港各主要社会领域中的地位将逐渐超过英语。然而,英语在香港的国际商务中将继续保持其不可替代的重要性。
