Reported Speech in Chinese and English Newspapers - Textual and Pragmatic Functions (Paperback): Wang Jingping Reported Speech in Chinese and English Newspapers - Textual and Pragmatic Functions (Paperback)
Wang Jingping; XIN Bin; Contributions by Huachu Liu; Translated by Shen Lei; Gao Xiaoli
R1,319 Discovery Miles 13 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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.
