The volume is a collection of research articles on creative, performative, and commercial uses of the English language in various domains of Asian popular culture. It provides a sociolinguistically contemporary snapshot of how English is variously adopted and adapted on local pop culture scenes in East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia.
This volume brings together scholars studying a range of Asian popular cultures, from Hong Kong, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, China, Singapore, Taiwan, and India; more, the scholarship takes up a range of media expressions, from music to film and television, including advertising. ... This breadth is impressive as it is substantiated by the individual scholars' knowledge of their separate areas and by the sheer contemporaneity of the studies. -- Shirley Geok-lin Lim, University of California, Santa Barbara
