While China has long had a variety of mutually unintelligible dialects, it has been united in the use of a single written language, and this written language has traditionally been an important symbol of Chinese culture. Over the centuries, written forms of China's dialects have appeared in various kinds of texts, but it has only been during the past few decades with the rise of a Cantonese dialect literature in Hong Kong that texts which are written entirely in dialect have reached a wide audience. This dissertation traces the rise of written Cantonese to its present position in Hong Kong's publishing world, and attempts to explain what factors have combined to cause the prominence of dialect in Hong Kong publishing to go beyond that found in other areas which consider themselves culturally Chinese. Due to scarcity of secondary sources dealing with this topic, much of the research for this dissertation has involved creating a history of written Cantonese from primary sources such as newspapers, books, and magazines. These materials were supplemented through interviews with Hong Kong publishers, authors, and readers. The dissertation argues that the increased use of Cantonese in Hong Kong publishing, while a result of many factors, is primarily a reflection of the growth of an indigenous and distinctly Hong Kong culture, and a growing sense among the population of identification with Hong Kong.Subjects--Topical Terms:
