Abstract:

This book addresses the knowledge-gap in the field by focusing on the
importance of emic conceptualizations (face1) in theorizing face. Existing
research on face has tended to rely on the etic perspective (face2) in
theorizing and conceptualizing face. Face and Face Practices in Chinese
Talk-in-Interaction applies an interactional pragmatics approach drawing on
folk notions and discourse instead of simply describing Chinese in a
normative, and thus potentially stereotypical manner. It builds on an analysis
of original face-to-face interactional data and employs a combination of
methodological approaches to analyze face in business settings. It is the very
first study to examine face and face practices in Chinese employing Face
Constituting Theory (FCT) as the theoretical framework. In doing so it
provides empirical support for the importance of examining the cognitive and
the interactional aspects of face practices, as well as providing insightful
perspectives on the complex interactional moves that participants employ in
managing their interpersonal relationships within business interactions and
mediations. In this way, the book addresses key current debates on how face
should be conceptualized and theorized. It also demystifies Chinese
communication and thereby illuminates some unidentified face practices, both
culture-general and cultural-specific.
