Commercialization of Chinese: A Study on the Language Ecology of Chinese as a Traditional Language in Greater London, UK

Abstract

With the process of internationalization of Chinese, it is no longer limited to being a traditional language of ethnic minorities in other countries and regions, but a language "product" with economic value. This study focuses on examining the language ecology through literature review and preliminary online questionnaire surveys, exploring the impact of the commercialization of Chinese as a traditional language in the Greater London area of the UK on the language ecology of the region. At the same time, it provides a new strategic perspective to support the international dissemination of Chinese.
