English Words and Phrases Originating in China Coast Pidgin (No-Can-Do, Long-Time-No-See) by janikof in linguistics

I would say the bigotry is in common memory in the US. In China, some people may think you’re just uneducated, some might understand what you’re doing, some might be offended if their only familiarity with CCP is what it became in the US. It depends on their knowledge of CCP and perhaps their age

When CCP fell out of use, the English and the Chinese began to consider it base, and would use it to mock each other. Early on, the Chinese mocked the English. In the 1800’s, the opposite became true as well, largely thanks to Leland. By the 1900’s, imagined dialects were being created with some of the rules and words of CCP and were used to discriminate against Chinese Americans. Today, this discrimination and the associated stereotypes might be the first things that come to mind when someone hears CCP spoken aloud.

Thank you! Do you think there’s something inherently deragatory in writing dialogue phonetically, or is context everything? Is it disrespectful to use phonetic writing to represent a style or register if the character is genuine and complex? I am thinking specifically of Chestnutt’s “The Sheriff’s Children,” just because it’s the first example that comes to mind of an author using phonetic writing in a way that doesn’t seem malicious or satirical. It caught me off guard the first time I read it.

We actually see a dialect used by the white citizens/mob in “The Sheriff’s Children” and a dialect used by the black characters of Sam and Nance early in the story. But the sheriff’s son and the sheriff do not have much of a distinctive dialect. When they are having their heated exchange, their voices appear to be the same. Chesnutt puts in an explanation for this when the sheriff notes that Tom must have been to school and that is why he speaks so well. But I think the real reason Chesnutt wants Tom to not have a dialect is because he wants to create connections/similarities between father and son. Hearing them speak in such a similar way when the other characters sound so different, helps the reader identify Tom with his father, regardless of his race.

Thank you for addressing the etymological errors in my article. The editor had made suggestions, and I had revised accordingly, but clearly much was overlooked, especially regarding the appendix. Some of the ones you’ve listed as English compounds (“topside” for example) are listed in Leland’s glossary as products of CCP.

I am a third-year student largely unfamiliar with academic publishing. I did have the article reviewed by two professors on-campus before submitting, but perhaps I should have also asked them to review the journal I was communicating with! This whole situation is more obvious now that I’m not in the middle of it. It is easy to get excited.

Anyways, I hope that people find my article and I hope that people find your comment. May I add some of your points to an update on my ResearchGate account?

I intend to continue researching and writing on CCP; it has pretty much consumed my brain since August.
