Meeting Description:

This panel aims to complement and enrich existing metapragmatic research by
presenting a series of metapragmatic studies on face-to-face or
computer-mediated communication in the context of China, historical or
contemporary. The topics under examination will cover various interactional
practices ranging from speech act performance, (im)politeness, identity
(de)construction, to conversational management in a variety of communicative
contexts, such as online group chats, classroom instruction, student advising,
thesis defence, and business negotiation. Theoretical frameworks such as
metapragmatics (Bublitz & Hübler 2007; Caffi 1984, 1994; X. Chen 2020;
Culpeper & Haugh 2014; Mey 2001; Verschueren 1995, 2000), rapport management
model (Spencer-Oatey 2000, 2005, 2008), self-politeness theory (R. Chen 2001),
pragmatic identity theory (X. Chen 2013, 2014, 2018), and ritual-politeness
framework (Kadar 2017) will be adopted to account for a variety of
metapragmatic phenomena in Chinese communication. All the studies concerned
will be empirical by nature, using naturally occurring or documentary data.
They may be qualitative or quantitative in their respective methodological
orientation.  We hope that our panel, which offers culturally situated and
linguistically-bound studies in Chinese, may offer new perspectives,
dimensions and insights to the newly emerged field of metapragmatics.
