Abstract
Negative attitudes of non-Singaporeans towards Singapore Colloquial English (SCE) are often used to support the “Speak Good
English Movement” in Singapore. This article examines spontaneous metalinguistic discourse about SCE in an online Facebook group where
Taiwanese migrants in Singapore gather for mutual support. Based on the idea that metalinguistic discourse is mediated through the social
relation between interlocutors, this study reveals how the language ideologies surfacing in the investigated online space are formed through
stance-taking processes between people sharing a nationality. We argue that this spatial context elicits and escalates negative ideologies
of SCE, which are situated in popular hierarchies of varieties of English, and also hierarchies of Mandarin.
期刊介绍：
English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
