Opis

Chinese is a discourse-oriented language and the underlying mechanisms of the language involve encoding and decoding so the language can be correctly delivered and understood.

Recenzje

'... the handbook showcases the latest quality studies of contemporary Chinese discourse, providing a comprehensive and systematic discussion of research approaches (mainly qualitative methodologies), language features of and the social functions constructed in various genres and through various channels in the Chinese contexts, as well as their conventions and norms of practice. Making an important contribution to the field of Chinese discourse studies, the handbook will certainly play a strong role to inspire more research studies in this area. As such, it is of interest to both students and scholars who work in the area of discourse and communication studies of Chinese language, society and culture.' - Yuan ke Li, School of Foreign Studies, South China Normal University, P.R. China, Discourse Studies, 2019, Vol. 21(6) 734–736
