Abstract

Abstract This study examines how Hong Kong returnees negotiate and construct their transnational identities in their post-sojourn period via two indexical cues, stance taking, and self-labelling. Based on the narratives about remigration, this study investigates how returnees construct their identities discursively by taking stances to evaluate and align with sociocultural values and using self-labelling to index their transnational identities in their post-sojourn period. In doing so, this study hopes to contribute to the existing migration studies on Hong Kong returnees in terms of language and identity construction.

香港回归者的身份建构:叙事中的立场与自我标签
摘要本研究以香港海归为研究对象,通过立场和自我标签两个指标线索,探讨海归在毕业后的跨国身份谈判和建构。基于关于移民的叙述,本研究调查了返回者如何通过评估社会文化价值观并与之保持一致的立场,以及在他们的后旅居期使用自我标签来索引他们的跨国身份,从而构建他们的身份。在这方面,本研究希望对现有香港回归者在语言和身份建构方面的迁移研究做出贡献。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of the Sociology of Language (IJSL) is dedicated to the development of the sociology of language as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches – theoretical and empirical – supplement and complement each other, contributing thereby to the growth of language-related knowledge, applications, values and sensitivities. Five of the journal''s annual issues are topically focused, all of the articles in such issues being commissioned in advance, after acceptance of proposals. One annual issue is reserved for single articles on the sociology of language. Selected issues throughout the year also feature a contribution on small languages and small language communities.
