The book analyses the discourse of the outgoing British administration, on the one hand, and the creation of the new discourse of the Special Administrative Region of China, on the other. In addition, the book considers issues of intercultural discourse, where the two competing discourses come into contact and conflict. Individual chapters of the book, in the form of case studies, deal with different communicative events – set piece speeches, public meetings, news articles, interviews, and television addresses.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:11.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black;display:none'>Preface <br>Acknowledgements<br>Introduction<br>Background on Hong Kong and Theoretical Framework<br>PART I: THE DISCOURSE OF THE OUTGOING ADMINISTRATION<br>The Discourse of Colonial Withdrawal<br>Rhetorical Strategies and Identity Politics in the Discourse Of Colonial Withdrawal<br>Discourse and Social Change in a Public Meeting<br>PART II: INTERCULTURAL DISCOURSES IN TRANSITIONAL HONG KONG <br>Face in Intercultural Political Discourse<br>Competing Public Discourses in Transitional Hong Kong<br>Metaphors in The Discursive Construction of Patriotism<br>PART III: THE DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW HONG KONG IDENTITY <br>Identity Politics and Hong Kong's Return to Chinese Sovereignty <br>Discourse as History: History as Discourse: 'The Rise of Modern China' — A History Exhibition in Post-Colonial Hong Kong <br>Discriminatory Discourse Directed Towards Mainlanders<br>Globalisation Discourse: Continuity with The Old <br>The Discursive Construction of a World-Class City <br>Conclusion<br>References<br>Index<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:11.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black;display:none'>JOHN FLOWERDEW is a Professor in the Department of English, City University of Hong Kong, China,where he has worked since 1989.
