Linguists studying the structure and use of English in Hong Kong have long debated whether or not an indigenized variety of Hong Kong English will develop from indigenized norms of intra-ethnic English use. A hypothetical indigenized variety of Hong Kong English, like other indigenized varieties of World English, would use a number of phonetic, lexical, syntactic, and discourse feature that are unique to English in Hong Kong. This dissertation reports on a study designed to measure the status of indigenized features as they are used in inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic communication. Close examination of e-mail messages written by four Hong Kong English speakers suggests that the four writers may use indigenized norms when communicating intra-ethnically to other Hong Kong English speakers, while external non-indigenized norms appear in inter-ethnic communication. The use of different norms in e-mail communication appears as differences in the kind of syntactic and discoursal features that are used in the individual writers' inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic messages. This shift in the norms of English use for inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic e-mail messages in English is evidence that English in Hong Kong may be nativized according to indigenized norms during intra-ethnic communication.

520 $a Linguists studying the structure and use of English in Hong Kong have long debated whether or not an indigenized variety of Hong Kong English will develop from indigenized norms of intra-ethnic English use. A hypothetical indigenized variety of Hong Kong English, like other indigenized varieties of World English, would use a number of phonetic, lexical, syntactic, and discourse feature that are unique to English in Hong Kong. This dissertation reports on a study designed to measure the status of indigenized features as they are used in inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic communication. Close examination of e-mail messages written by four Hong Kong English speakers suggests that the four writers may use indigenized norms when communicating intra-ethnically to other Hong Kong English speakers, while external non-indigenized norms appear in inter-ethnic communication. The use of different norms in e-mail communication appears as differences in the kind of syntactic and discoursal features that are used in the individual writers' inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic messages. This shift in the norms of English use for inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic e-mail messages in English is evidence that English in Hong Kong may be nativized according to indigenized norms during intra-ethnic communication.
520 $a While a comparison of the norms used in the inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic messages written by all four of the Hong Kong English speakers does not reveal any clearly identifiable patterns of nativization that are used by each of the writers, each writer nonetheless shows evidence of nativizing intra-ethnic communication according to indigenized norms. Each of the four writers produce intra-ethnic e-mail messages according to indigenized norms, although there is little evidence that these four writers follow the same norms when communicating intra-ethnically communication. Consequently, it is hypothesized that there is motivation within these four Hong Kong English speakers to produce an indigenized variety of Hong Kong English, but the norms for its use are neither highly visible nor highly focused among the four writers.
