“…In order to establish prototypical grammatical features of Chinese English, a starting point could be comparing two (to some degree) related varieties from eWAVE, namely Hong Kong English (Wong, 2020) and Colloquial Singaporean English (Lim & Ansaldo, 2020) with grammatical features of Chinese English reported in the literature. Table 3 shows features that have been marked ‘A – feature is pervasive or obligatory’ in both Hong Kong English and Colloquial Singaporean English.…”

This paper argues that there are central features of Chinese English regardless of a speaker's Chinese first language (L1) or dialect. The current state of research on Chinese English is reviewed, outlining phonological, lexical, syntactical, prosodic, and discourse and pragmatic features of Chinese English. These features are categorized according to their pervasiveness based on different L1 backgrounds, to show that there are core features of Chinese English. The argument is limited by the low number of quantitative studies and the absence of large‐scale quantitative studies.

“…J. Huang, 1987; X. Li & Bisang, 2012). Since previous research treated article variation in Chinese English as a feature of learners’ interlanguages, it remains to be seen if it can be confirmed using variationist sociolinguistic approaches, similar to Hong Kong English (Wong, 2020).…”

This corpus-based study of pluralized non-count nouns (informations, advices, etc.) uses collocation-derived measures (determiners vs. bare noun and mass quantifiers) to extract potential candidates of non-count nouns in a bottom-up approach from the British National Corpus (BNC), allowing the detection of grammatical categories from distributional features. We then use this token list to retrieve data on pluralization of non-counts from nine annotated components of the International Corpus of English (ICE). While the distinction between count and non-count nouns is gradient rather than categorical, it is still possible to distinguish between standard and non-standard pluralization of non-counts. Qualitative analyses of our data show that non-standard pluralization of non-count nouns is regularly attested in second-language varieties, including previously unrecorded types; however, it is also occasionally found in first-language varieties. We discuss implications of our corpus results for common explanations of pluralized non-count nouns, such as substrate influence, language learning effects and historical input. By combining a bottom-up corpus-based approach with fine-grained qualitative analyses we can provide a more nuanced view of pluralization of non-counts across ENL and ESL for the investigation of World Englishes.
