HONG KONG-CHINA-POLITICS-DEMOCRACY-

TO GO WITH AFP STORY 'HONG KONG-CHINA-PROTESTS-DEMOCRACY-LANGUAGE', FEATURE BY EMILY FORD This picture taken on December 4, 2014 shows a road sign for the Central Government Offices with the word for government 'zheng fu' substituted with similar sounding words meaning 'genuine bitterness' at the main Admiralty protest site in Hong Kong. Numbers 928, the day the protests started on September 28 and 689, a nickname for chief executive Leung Chun-ying, a sarcastic reference to the number of votes he won by in the elections that are seen as unfair. The explosion of phrases, slogans, puns and jokes in Cantonese driven by social media and chat apps shows that the language, which has been dogged by fears for its survival, is in vibrant health, say academics.
