Abstract: Under the globalization and nativization of English language, on the basis of Kachru’s theory of World Englishes and Three Concentric Circles of English, this paper collects some newly appeared China English networds and analyzes them from the perspective of word formation. In the analyses, the author mainly classifies netword formations into five categories: blending, derivation, blending and derivation, compounding and Chinese pinyin, reaching a conclusion that the formation of China English networds complies with the rules of standard English and that networds are forming more word families.
