Abstract Details

2020, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, East Asian Studies.
The 2019 Hong Kong Protests have elicited responses and reactions around the world, with some praising the actions of the protestors while others have condemned them. However, this is not the first time protests have occurred in Hong Kong. Influences from these past protests can be seen in the 2019 protests, although the presence of the internet and social media has changed not only the methods for protests, but the stage for them as well. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impacts of the Hong Kong protests that began in 2019. This study will be conducted through the analysis of the language used by the Chinese government in response to the ongoing protests. Data for this study was collected from social media posts made to Twitter as well as news articles, from both mainland China and outside sources. With this corpus, I intend to conduct a lexical study in order to characterize attitudes regarding the protests and its participants. The current situation in Hong Kong has had a myriad of effects that can be seen not only within the country of China itself, but also around the world. Understanding the rhetoric and the intentions behind it may help to clarify China’s view on both the 2019 Hong Kong Protests and the city as a whole.
