Introducing Chinese Discourse by Bo Wang

Introducing Chinese Discourse by Bo Wang

Drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this book introduces readers to the methods for analysing discourse/texts written and spoken in the Chinese language. It presents Chinese discourse as a semantic unit, adopting a trinocular view in terms of the hierarchy of stratification. The texts in this book are based on a comprehensive and rich archive, featuring not only text types available in other languages and cultures, but also those unique in the Chinese language. The book is aimed at students and researchers working on SFL, language description, translation studies or related areas, as well as MA or doctoral students who have some basic knowledge about linguistics or discourse analysis.
