Introduction

[Virginia Y. Wake]

I'm a Ph.D. student at Georgetown University.  I'm interested in discourse
and professional communication and intercultural communication, narrative
analysis, and spoken discourse structure in Chinese (Beijing Mandarin and
Cantonese).  My dissertation topic is on triadic interaction in prenatal
genetic counseling.
