thyof researching in the aspect of language use to reveal the nativization of English in China.As previous studies dealt with discussion of nativized nouns, noun phrases oradjectives in the international or Chinese context (局超，2006;李文中，1993;俞希，2009)，this study intends to go deep into the nativized features of English used in Chinathrough research into high-frequency verbs occurring in the newspaper   China Daily?Moreover, few of previous studies combined quantitative data with qualitative analysis;this study attempts an integration of research methods and adopts a comparativecorpus-based approach. Thus a further investigation into verbs may clarify the nativizationof English in China and reveal some interesting patterns of variation between the twocontexts. To some extent, these may be enrichment to the existing literature.

Chapter Two Literature Review

Specifically, the review starts from theinternational context to the Chinese context, analyzing nativization in terms of itsmanifestation. Following that, definitions of key terms are provided. Finally, thedifferences between the present study and previous ones are discussed.

2.1 The review of studies on nativization of English
The global spread of English has aroused great interest in the field of linguistics.English serves both global and local communicative needs, a fact that led Pakir (1999) torefer to it as the ”glocal” language. She describes the importance of English as a globallanguage: English is a global vehicle that refuels at every stop, creates economic andother opportunities, and returns to its home bases, each time upping the financial ante forEnglish users. English has become a global commodity that seems to have no “sell-bydate" attached to it (Pakir 1999). McKay (2002:24) claims that for a language to beinternational means that the language has developed to where it is “no longer linked to asingle culture or nation but serves both global and local needs as a language of widercommunication." She also examines why English has spread as quickly and widely as ithas, pointing out that it is due not only to complex historical, geographical, political, andeconomic factors, but also to migration patterns, and just plain good luck and timing.McKay also briefly touches on the negative aspects of this spread of English and severalfactors that may in the future hinder the language's spread. Basically, they all agree on theglobalization of English as a process.
