Description: An analysis of English usage in Boao, China.
Boao: Style Plaza or Amorous Square? There are sites around the Internet poking fun at the strange English that can be found in Asia (for example ). While good for a laugh these sites often miss what is most interesting -- the linguistic and cultural factors that lie behind such mistakes. Here we look at a facility known variously in English as 'Boao Asia's Style Plaza', 'Asian Amorous Square for Hainan Boao', 'The Amorous Feelings Public Square in Boao Asia', 'Boao Asia Amorous Feelings Square', and 'Boao Asian Customs Recreation Plaza', and why these strange English names have come about.
