Abstract:

"Responding to Questions at Press Conferences" makes clear how the
spokespersons at China’s diplomatic press conferences maneuver
strategically in defining the issues in the empirical counterpart of
the confrontation stage when responding to the journalists’ questions
and how this confrontational maneuvering is meant to be instrumental
in convincing the intended audience. The detailed and systematic
analysis of the various modes of confrontational maneuvering adopted
by the spokespersons elucidate how China’s recently established
“progressive” diplomatic style is shaped by its spokespersons’
argumentative discourse.

Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
