1. Introduction
English, as an international language, has become a multinational, multicultural and multifunctional language. The appearance of the concept, "Englishes", reflects the fact that English is no longer what it used to be. When we speak of English, we do not limit it to British English or American English nor to a wider range of Canadian English, Australian English, New Zealand English, etc. Instead, we are more aware of the existence of African “Englishes”, Asian “Englishes”, or the Third World “Englishes” (Bagnall, 1993:10).
1.1 The Previous Study of China English
Chinese English has become a hot topic among the research of world “Englishes” In 1980; China English first appeared in an article by Ge Chuangui. China English, resulting from the combination of Chinese culture and the English language, has become a hot issue in China (Baskette, 1986:14). There have been every now and then explorations of this topic, some focusing on theoretical differentiation of China English and Chinese English, others on practical treatment of expressions of China English, and still others on the legitimate status of China English itself. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the making of China English, give a general review of different opinions about China English, discuss the criteria for the status of China English and finally describe the peculiarities of China English.
