Reported speech is a universal form across human languages.
However, previous studies have tended to be limited because they
mostly emphasize on the form and authenticity of reported speech,
while its discourse and pragmatic functions have largely been
ignored. Meanwhile, the studies mainly focus on English, with a
comparative perspective with other languages largely missing.
Acknowledging these limitations, this book analyzes the textual and
pragmatic functions of reported speech in Chinese and English. The
authors build a corpus comprising of twelve Chinese and English
newspapers, including China Daily and The New York Times. They
examine the classification and distribution of reported speech, the
form and function in different news genres and contexts, and the
socio-pragmatic interpretation of reported speech in news and other
issues. This title can enrich comparative linguistic research,
verify the feasibility of combining critical linguistics and corpus
technology, and help improve the production and understanding of
news reports. Students and scholars of critical discourse analysis,
comparative linguistics, corpus linguistics, as well as
communication studies will find this to be an essential guide.
