Beyond the mother tongue: language as cultural capital in Xiaolu Guo's A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers

Lea Sinoimeri

Summary: The paper explores multilingual aesthetics in Xiaolu Guo's novel "A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers" by rejecting and undermining the romance of the mother tongue, and fictionalizing encounters with other languages as a fatal conquest and profound metamorphosis. Despite exhibiting multilingual strategies, the book also emphasizes an elite cosmopolitanism based on European literary canonical works, reinforcing rather than discarding monolingual ideas of language and literature.
