A Study on Chinglish from the Perspective of Cultural Self-Confidence

Haoming LIN

Abstract


Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese culture and other cultures in the world communicate with each other, and then Chinglish was born. Chinglish, as a variant of English, its form of expression is influenced by China’s politics, economy, culture and other factors, and it has been widely concerned by many scholars. The rise of Chinglish shows us the self-confidence of Chinese culture in the context of Sino-foreign communication. This paper will analyze the rationality of Chinglish and discuss how to disseminate Chinese culture with the help of Chinglish.
