　　With the advanced economic development around world as well as the reform andopening up in China，tourism in China has been blooming since 1978, especially in theancient city-Xi，an. Hui Alley is the hub of Muslim community in Xi'an city, Shaanxiprovince. Located beside the Drum Tower, it was built in Sui Dynasty with 500 meterslong from south to north, which is famous for Muslim food, snacks, folk art andexquisite souvenirs. It has attracted 776.000 foreign tourists each year and a largenumber of foreign tourists would throng in alley. Peak tourist season lasts from June toOctober. As the frequent transaction increases between the shop owner andinternational tourist, https://www.51lunwen.org/zwwhlw/org201211212232571489.html a contact language would take form inevitably.In this study, Hui Alley Pidgin English, which belongs to a contact language ofsociolinguistics. originates from the conversation between foreign tourists and shopowners during their frequent transactions, with its vocabulary from the supcrstratclanguage- English and grammatical structure and phonological rules transferred fromthe substrate language- Chinese. More importantly, it embodies the vast usage ofdeictic gesture and the Muslim culture.
　　
　　1.1 Research orientation研究发现
　This study aims to document the developmental path and holistic features of HuiAlley Pidgin English, i.e., linguistic, dcictic gesture, as well as cthnic features, from asocio-cultural theory put forwarded by Mikhail Bakhtin (1981，1986).Bakhtin (1986:64) defines language community in the following way:A particular function (scientific, technical，commentarial, business, everyday) andthe particular conditions of speech communities specific for each sphere gi\'e rise toparticular genres, that is, certain relatively stable thematic, compositional, and stylistictypes of utterance.Bakhtin (1981:297) clarifies this unique feature and provides the thcorctical1backdrop:The dialogic orientation of discourse is a phenomenon that is, of course, aproperty of any discourse.
