Abstract
In the process of wide spread and application of English, it is hard to avoid the phenomenon of English globalization and localization. English culture is very different from Chinese culture and these differences gradually form some kinds of English with strong Chinese characteristics, which are China English and Chinglish. China English is widely accepted by people from English countries and some of them even are collected and accepted by Oxford dictionary; however, Chinglish, as a wrong and irregular language, is rejected by people in China. With the development of society, Chingish will be gradually eliminated by Chinese people. Firstly, this essay will show the definition of China English and Chingish from different perspectives. In addition, the essay will explain the features and causes of Chingish and China English using the way of giving examples. Finally, the essay will give a summary of the comparative analysis of China English and Chinese English from the perspective of sociolinguistics.
