English in Hong Kong Cantopop: language choice, code‐switching and genre
Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 107-129 - 2009

to the 1960s and 1970s in the US, their intrusion into the lives of British and
US consumers has grown exponentially since the 1980s. Since the early 2000s,
however,...
English in Macedonian television commercials
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 15-29 - 2012

For that reason, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the
creativity of English use in Macedonian TV advertising as a site for active
linguistic contact. Based on four commercials, the study explores how the
narrative, musical, an...
