{"product_id":"reported-speech-in-chinese-and-xin-bin-9781032000602","title":"Reported Speech in Chinese and English Newspapers: Textual and Pragmatic Functions","description":"\u003cp\u003eReported 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledging 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 \u003ci\u003eChina Daily\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents and scholars of critical discourse analysis, comparative linguistics, corpus linguistics, as well as communication studies will find this to be an essential guide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xin Bin,Gao Xiaoli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032000600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032000602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Xin Bin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065327104255,"sku":"9781032000602","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_199becdd-5bfa-4722-97f0-e3ac3cd07d6c.jpg?v=1768674460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reported-speech-in-chinese-and-xin-bin-9781032000602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
