Abstract:

Aspirational and expanding, this book examines contemporary Chinese language
and discourse across a spectrum of linguistic layers and genres in diverse
social contexts. Addressing issues ranging from the usual focus on language
per se, or language use in reaction to the immediate settings, to the
connections between properties of texts and social practices (ideologies,
stancetaking, power relations, etc.), the updated and exemplary research
projects presented in the volume demonstrates a developing trajectory of
research in Chinese language and discourse. With its empirical focus and
stress on the role of language and discourse in social practice, this
important new book discusses various language features as well as gender,
stancetaking, and identity in Chinese discourse. This is a vital discussion
for anyone interested in contemporary Chinese language and discourse studies.

In examination of different layers of language (i.e. from lexical items and
sentence structures to discourse features and discursive practices) across
different genres of texts, the research projects have drawn on a variety of
linguistic approaches and methodologies, including functional linguistics,
applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and various approaches to discourse
analysis.

Researchers and students of Chinese linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse
studies, translation studies, and China studies in general will find this
volume an indispensable reference and an enjoyable read.
