Abstract | Chinese sociolinguistics formally started in the 1980s but benefited from previous research such as that of Chao (1976). The field of research developed rather independently in its first stage, benefitting little from the sociolinguistic methodologies adopted internationally. A newer stage started with the new century, seeing its exchanges and dialogues internationally. The newest developments came in the last decade including its integration with the field of language planning. The four divisions of Chinese sociolinguistics – language variation, speech community, linguistic urbanization and language strategy – are classifiable from the static and dynamic perspectives of language and society. With such perspectives, there is now a better understanding of sociolinguistics as well as the Chinese contributions to sociolinguistics. |
