The construction of Mainland students’ identity through their language choice and linguistic interactions with local students, and discover two types of Hong Kong-Mainland identity constructed through linguistic practice of code-mixing and code-switching between Cantonese and Putonghua and non-linguistic practice of adequation and distinction. Therefore, those who hold a Mainland-oriented identity tend to have a Putonghua-dominated language choice and linguistic practice, whereas those who embrace a Hong Kong-oriented identity tend to prefer a Cantonese-dominated choice and practice. This mixed identity helps better conceive the social image of Mainland immigrants in Hong Kong and discuss the cross-cultural identity formed by linguistic practice. Nevertheless, the number of participants in this study is limited and most participants were from the University of Hong Kong, thus making the findings in this paper representative only for a specific group of students rather than the whole Mainland students in Hong Kong. The researchers suggest the future large-scale research and systematic analysis of Mainland students’ linguistic practices and identities from the socio-cultural linguistic perspective will help better understand this particular social community in Hong Kong.
