Chinese discourse studies

Abstract

Chinese discourse studies is Shi-xu’s newest attempt at cultural discourse studies (CDS) in general and Chinese discourse studies (CNDS) in particular. Proceeding from a locally grounded and globally minded perspective, the book maps out a culturally conscious and criti-cal framework for the study of discourse and communication of present-day China on the one hand and on the other hand presents a series of empirical studies of crucially important Chinese discourses in their global contexts.
