This book investigates the characteristics of hybridity in Chinese texts that have been translated from English. It also explores the potential impact of translation and hybridity on written Chinese over the past 70 years. It suggests that English-Chinese translations have introduced more and more hybrid structures into Chinese. This book can help us with understanding language change and development, and it can also shed new light on the translation process and help identify translation norms.

“Another prominent feature of this book is the generous wealth of information it makes available to readers. … this is a highly recommended book. Both thought-provoking, and enlightening, it will no doubt offer its readers inspiration, particularly researchers pursuing further exploration of linguistic hybridity in hybridity in translated language.” (Linxin Liang and Mingwu Xu, Languages in Contrast, Vol. 18 (2), 2018)
