Challenge-hindrance stressors and innovative performance among dental graduate students in China
Improving the academic innovative performance of dental graduate students is vital for the development of dentistry. Given that dental graduate students face intense academic competition, the mechanisms of challenge and hindrance stress on innovative performance have not been thoroughly explored in this context. The aim of the study is to determine the influence mechanisms between challenge-hindrance stressors and innovative performance among Chi…
Metacognitive Strategies and Willingness to Communicate in L2 Learning
In the sphere of second or foreign language (L2) pedagogy, empirical evidence has increasingly spotlighted the role of learners’ metacognitive strategies as formidable predictors of their willingness to engage in L2 communication (WTC). Nonetheless, the interrelationship among learners’ metacognitive strategies, self-efficacy, and intrinsic motivation—as a collective force influencing WTC—has not been adequately probed. Addressing this gap, the p…
Media representations of the 'little fresh meat' phenomenon in China
‘Little fresh meat’ (LFM or xiǎo xiān ròu), which describes a masculine aesthetic rooted in ‘soft masculinity’, is a phenomenon across Asia that challenges prevailing concepts of masculinity and patriarchal discourse. This study furthers previous research by using feminist critical discourse analysis to evaluate the construction of LFM masculine nonconformity, via data collected from 42 news articles from China’s English-language news media, incl…
A critical discourse study of cultural and national identity (re)construction in Taiwanese high school EFL textbooks
In foreign language textbooks, cultural representations embedded in texts and images not only facilitate the acquisition of linguistic knowledge but also construct ethnic or political identities. Over the past century, the mainstream ideology in Taiwan has changed due to the rotation of ruling parties and generational shifts. This change is also evident in contemporary English-as-a-Foreign-Language textbooks. In light of this emerging issue, this…
Representing the 'Little Fresh Meat' Phenomenon in the Chinese English-Medium News Media
In China, the phenomenon of 'little fresh meat' has recently sparked a contentious debate. However, few studies have examined the thematic concepts surrounding the phenomenon of 'little fresh meat' in the Chinese English-medium news media. In order to fill this gap, this study used corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis to examine how the 'little fresh meat' phenomenon has been represented discursively in Chinese English-language news media …
The moderating effect of physical exercises on job stress, emotional intelligence, and teaching satisfaction among Chinese University teachers
This study presents a conceptual model that investigates teaching satisfaction as an outcome variable in mainland China. The model incorporates the mediating mechanism of emotional intelligence and the moderating role of physical activity. The results of a survey of 2500 university teachers from 25 public institutions, which tested teaching satisfaction, demonstrate that job stress is negatively related to teaching satisfaction and indirectly rel…
A study on identification of youth identity through a gender lens in network buzzwords
As an emerging form of discourse in the Internet era, network buzzwords serve as an indicator of the mentality of the youth, reflecting their identity. However, research on the implementation of network buzzwords in the context of gender formations has been limited. This study fills this research gap by using critical discourse analysis to analyse the use of 11 gender-specific buzzwords listed in the annual list of top-ten network buzzwords publi…
Heterogeneous discursive representations of the Chinese Dream in international media
The study focuses on the heterogeneous discursive representations of the Chinese Dream in three international newspapers from different geopolitical regions between 2012 and 2022. To this end, a combined method that uses the discourse-historical approach and corpus-assisted analysis was adopted. In the analysis, it identifies three salient discursive strategies (namely, nomination, perspectivisation and argumentation) that are employed to reconst…
English-language news representations of the Fukushima nuclear-treated-water discharge at the initial phase in Japan and neighbouring countries
There is a gap in our knowledge that has not been filled much yet: the interplay between uncertainty and transparency, as well as the social amplification of risk and potential manipulation, interconnected with the media agenda-setting theory in risk communication. To fill this gap, this study investigates how China’s, South Korea’s, and Japan’s leading English-language newspapers present their respective stands on the issue of the Fukushima nucl…
Empathetic Solidarity
This article examines how Chinese state media tries to legitimize and promote civic solidarity in its portrayal of grassroots community participation to an international audience. It performed a corpus-assisted discourse analysis of 758 articles published in major Chinese English-language newspapers between 2001 and 2022. The results reveal a message of 'empathetic solidarity' in which Western ideas of liberty are blended, or hybridized, with the…
The use of metaphors to construct crisis discourses in describing Covid-19 vaccines in the Chinese and the American news media
There have been limited studies comparing Chinese and American news media in their descriptions of vaccines, especially their use of metaphors in the context of COVID-19. Hence, this paper employs a corpus-assisted critical approach to examine the metaphors used in constructing crisis discourses relating to vaccines in Chinese and American newspapers. The study reveals four conceptual metaphors: WEAPON, MACHINE, TRAVELLER, and CONTEST. The usage …
Media representations of China amid Covid-19
Although there has been an increasing number of studies investigating media representations of the COVID-19 outbreak around the world, less international attention has been given to Chinese media outlets' coverage of the COVID-19 outbreak than that of their western counterparts. This study employs corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis to investigate how China is linguistically represented in a state-run English-language news media. The anal…
Legalizing Support for Patients with Rare Diseases in the Social Policy System
There is a paucity of research pertaining to the discourse-based construction of legitimation within the realms of law and healthcare. To fill this gap, the present study examines the deliberations within the Legislative Council of Hong Kong pertaining to the enactment of legislation recognizing rare diseases (RDs) as eligible for governmental support. Employing van Leeuwen's sociosemantic approach, we analyzed the debates, revealing four distinc…
Building a global community of health for all
‘A global community of health for all’ has become a dominant concept in China’s global health governance system. Although this concept has been investigated by several studies in different domains, little attention has been given to its discursive legitimation in China’s media communication from a linguistic perspective. To fill this gap, the present study employs positive discourse analysis to investigate how the aforementioned concept is legiti…
The effects of digital game-based learning on children’s Chinese language learning, attention and self-efficacy
This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of digital game-based learning (DGBL) on elementary-school students’ Chinese language learning, self-efficacy and attention. In total, 126 fourth-graders participated in the study for 6 weeks. Two digital games with different mechanisms (completion-contingent and performance-contingent rewards) that integrated content from the fourth-grade Chinese language-arts curriculum were developed. Data on …
Representations of ‘leftover women’ in the Chinese English-medium newspapers
Previous media studies have largely examined the media construction of ‘leftover women’ in the Chinese-medium news media that are pervaded by patriarchal content. Yet, little attention has been given to the thematic content surrounding leftover women in the Chinese English-medium news media which seem to be more liberal in their stance. To fill this niche, this study employs a key keyword analysis to examine the dominant thematic concepts related…
Jesuit Louis Antoine de Poirot’s Translation of the Bible
A critical study of the history of the use of language reveals that ideology, religion, and language have usually been intimately linked; this also applies to the topic of “mutual encounters and linguistic exchanges” between China and the West. At the same time, we can affirm that each Chinese encounter with the West represented an encounter with Christians and Christianity. Within this context, this article examines how Jesuit Louis Antoine de P…
Formulating the discourse of pro-work conservatism
Although the ideology of pro-work conservatism prevails in East Asia, scholars have largely overlooked its discursive construction in media communication from a linguistic perspective. This paper examines the discursive construction of pro-work conservatism in 3,000 Weibo posts with the most “likes” in response to China’s implementation of the three-child policy. Using the sociosemantic approach as an analytic framework, the paper finds that thre…
A Critical Discourse Analysis of Resistance to Climate Change in China’s English-Language News Media
A debate between hegemonic masculinity and the rise of gender nonconformity
A Discourse Analytic Study of #FixTheCountry on Ghanaian Twitter
This article analyzes tweets produced during the 'fix the country' campaign on Ghanaian Twitter. It illustrates how the affordances of social media can empower campaigners and how linguistic choices, even on digital platforms, can be conditioned by sociocultural context, spatiotemporal factors, and local politics. The findings reveal three main discursive strategies utilized in the tweets to construct the protest as a discourse of contestation in…
Media representations of foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong
Previous studies have mostly revealed the negative media representations of foreign domestic helpers (FDHs), which are pervaded by racist content. Yet, no study has adopted a corpus-assisted discourse analytic approach to systematically investigate a large amount of language data about foreign domestic helpers collected from the news media. To fill this niche, this study employs the notion of discourse prosodies to examine the dominant discourses…
Representations of “leftover” women and men in the Chinese English-language news media
Although the phenomenon of “leftover” women and men in China has been hotly debated over the past decade, there are few comparative studies investigating similarities and differences underlying media representations of the two groups. To fill this gap, this study employs a corpus-assisted discourse analysis to investigate the discourses of similarities and differences underlying the representations of leftover women and men in the Chinese English…
The anxiety over soft masculinity
Although the emergence of soft masculinity has incited much controversy in China, little research attention has been given to the discussion about the effeminate Chinese masculinity in the news media featuring public opinions at the national level. To fill this gap, this study employed critical discourse analysis to investigate the dominant discourses surrounding the “Prevention of Feminisation of Male Teenagers” debate and its ideological implic…
Metaphorical representations of “leftover women”
Single Chinese women above the age of 27 have been commonly labelled as “leftover women” by the Chinese state-run media since 2007. To investigate how leftover women are represented metaphorically, this study adopts the discourse dynamics approach to identify metaphor vehicles (i.e. linguistic metaphors), classifies their vehicle groupings and evaluations, and explains the potential ideologies behind the metaphor use from 28 English-language news…
Perpetuating and/or resisting the “leftover” myth? The use of (de)legitimation strategies in the Chinese English-language news media
In China, single women over 27 are deemed to be “leftover.” While the majority of studies suggest that the Chinese-language media have perpetuated the patriarchal discourse surrounding the leftover myth, few studies have investigated the English-language news media in China which claims to be more liberal with a critical approach. To fill this niche, this study investigates the dominant gendered discourses surrounding the leftover myth and how th…
Media representations of ‘leftover women’ in China
The term ‘leftover women’, commonly referring to single women older than 27, has been in popular use in Chinese media since 2007. This study investigates how leftover women are linguistically represented in the English-language news media in China by employing a corpus-assisted approach to critical discourse analysis. A specialised corpus of 303 English news articles (i.e. 236,254 words), covering the years between 2007 and 2017, was built for th…
Resisting Foreign Hostility in China’s English-language News Media during the Covid-19 Crisis
Studies of crisis communication have increasingly used a critical approach to shift the focus of research from how crises are managed to the role of social power and ideology, but little is known about the discursive construction of resistance in response to global health crises. To fill this niche, this article uses critical discourse analysis to investigate how China's state-run media resisted what it deemed to be undue foreign hostility toward…

Leftover or Individualised? Representations of Chinese Single Womanhood in Western English-language News Media
Since 2007, Chinese state-run media has used the term ‘leftover women’ to describe single women who are 27 or above. While considerable research has examined patriarchal discourse surrounding China’s ‘leftover women’ in the Chinese state-run media, very little scholarship has explored the female individualisation discourse that emphasises independence and self-actualisation in Western English-language news outlets. To fill this gap, this study em…

A debate between hegemonic masculinity and the rise of gender nonconformity
Tradition, modernity, and the visual representation of “leftover women” in the English language news media in China
This study examines the visual representations of “leftover women” (unmarried women who are 27 or above) in the English language news media in China by employing multimodal discourse analysis. The findings show that both conservative and gendered discourses are constructed by different visual resources in relation to “leftover women’s” actions, reactions, outfits, symbolic processes, and settings. Our research provides new understandings of Chine…
Constructing the myth of protest masculinity in Chinese English language news media
Although the Chinese media’s construction of unmarried citizens as ‘leftover’ has incited much controversy, little research attention has been given to the ways ‘leftover men’ are represented in discourse.

A mixed-method analysis of image-schematic metaphors in describing anger, anxiety, and depression
The importance of metaphor in psychotherapy and counseling has been shown by a growing number of studies. Image-schematic metaphors, which derive from experience of sensory processes and space, are potential resources for conceptualizing major themes like anger, anxiety, and depression in therapeutic discourse. To test the potential correlation between image-schematic metaphors and the themes of anger, anxiety, and depression, this study employs …
