There are about 4000 entries in the dictionary, mostly they are devoted to individual words, but some also interpret phrases, sentences, and sentence patterns.

This book casts some light on the perspectives of equal coexistence of Cantonese and Putonghua in future Hong Kong, where the increasing political, demographic, and economic role of Putonghua as
official language of China would not result in compromising the vitality of Cantonese in the
local community. This challenging topic will be analyzed from different points of view. The first part will start form the origins and provide an introduction on Cantonese. After a general outline on Cantonese and Yue dialects, the focus will begin in mainland China and observe the development of the Cantonese-Putonghua relationship in Guangdong. Then,
the linguistic features of Hong Kong Cantonese will be illustrated by means of contrastive analysis with Putonghua. Phonology, lexicon, morphology, and syntax of Cantonese will therefore be analyzed by highlighting their existing differences with Putonghua. The written form of Cantonese will be illustrated in the following chapter, again by focusing on the features it does not share with Standard Chinese. The extent to which a strong and vital variety like Hong Kong Cantonese can be considered a standard language or rather a dialect will be finally discussed. The second part will move the attention uniquely on Hong Kong and provide firstly a view on its history, followed by a small case study on the cinema of Hong Kong, an important part of local culture in which the dialectic relation of Cantonese and Putonghua is well visible. The following part, then, will focus exclusively on the post-handover times in Hong
Kong and on how the language policies implemented in the new Special Administrative Region have influenced language use, language attitudes, and matters of identity. In the concluding part, the knowledge collected throughout the work will be put together to develop a discussion on the future perspectives of Cantonese and Putonghua to coexist and flourish simultaneously in Hong Kong.

A new edition in one volume of Hugh Baker's celebrated three volumes of Ancestral Images originally published in 1979, 1980 and 1981. The 120 articles and photographs explore everyday life, customs and rituals in Hong Kong's rural New Territories. Each mouthful is complete in itself, but together the articles amount to a substantial feast. They investigate religion, food, language, history, festivals, family, strange happenings and clan warfare. The book documents much that can no longer be found. But it also provides an understanding of a world which has not yet entirely disappeared, and which still forms the background for life in modern, urban Hong Kong. Esoteric nuggets of information are scattered through the book: How do you ascend a Pagoda with no staircase? How can you marry without attending the wedding? When is it wrong to buy a book?

Hong Kong has always been something of an anomaly, and an outpost of empire, whether British or Chinese. Once described as a barren island, the former fishing community has been transformed by its own economic miracle into one of Asia's World Cities, taking in its stride the territory's 1997 return to Chinese sovereignty. Beneath the surface of Hong Kong's clichéd self-image as Pearl of the Orient and Shopping Paradise, Michael Ingham reveals a city rich in history, myth, and cultural diversity.
