Abstract

Hong Kong is a peculiar case for the study of cultural practices. One of the most Westernized cities in Asia, Hong Kong is, to many people in China, one of the most 'Chinese' places in the country. Hong Kong's no-place situation presents an interesting example of the tensions within and without cultural systems and their relations to language.
