The pragmatics of advice-giving in the media discourse
This study investigated how the gender of the contestants in TV talent competitions affects male and female judges’ management of their advice, exemplified by evaluative talks in two Taiwan-based talent contests. In addition to the pragmatic configuration of the advising acts, the internal and external modifiers of the advising speech events were also analyzed in an attempt to gain insights into whether and how the advice messages are instrumenta…
Ancient Chinese Nursery Rhymes and Their Cultural Connotations
Nursery rhymes represent a distinctive cultural phenomenon with a longstanding history of circulation in China. Beyond their role in early childhood education, these rhymes have historically functioned as a vehicle for expressing public opinion on dynastic shifts and political events in ancient Chinese society, as well as a primary medium for imparting knowledge and moral values to children. This study explores the evolution of ancient Chinese nu…
The influence of the addressers’ and the addressees’ gender identities on the addressers’ linguistic politeness behavior
People’s power and status can be manifested through the language they use. It was generally perceived that men’s speeches are more assertive and direct than women’s because of men’s higher social status in the societies. Yet, studies have argued that there should be no difference in terms of men and women’s linguistic politeness behaviors if they are in the same power position; instead, the addressees’gender is the critical determinant to the add…
Managing criticisms in US-based and Taiwan-based reality talent contests
This research studied how English and Chinese speakers encode their criticisms in the media discourse, aiming to explore the correlation between the speakers’ applications of pragmalinguistic strategies and their sociocultural orientations. Criticisms analyzed in the present study were collected from evaluative communications elicited from the US-based talent competition Project Runway and the Taiwan-based talent competition Super Designer . The …
The interplay of cultural expectation, gender role, and communicative behavior
A number of pragmatic studies have reported on gender variations in compliment-responding linguistic behavior. However, how people of different gender roles react to compliments was rarely compared. The earlier literature reported that men and women’s values and priorities are incompatible, something which can have a significant impact on their reactions to compliments. The present study, therefore, investigates how people of different gender rol…
Applications of stalling mechanisms in Chinese-English bilinguals’ L1 and L2 spoken discourse
This article reports an empirical research into the correlation between adult speakers’ communication strategic competence and their language proficiency by comparing Chinese-English bilinguals’ application of stalling devices in their L1 and L2 spoken discourse. Dörnyei and Kormos’ ((1998). Problem-solving mechanisms in L2 communication. Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 20, 349–385) taxonomy of communicative strategies is employed as the …
Planning units in speech production
Previous studies based on observations of different languages have shown that phrase is the integral unit of speech formulation and articulation. Evidence from Mandarin Chinese, however, is scant. This research, therefore, sets out to explore whether the speech processing unit of Chinese spoken communication resembles that of other languages by examining its anticipatory retracing configurations in repair-related discourse. Results show that when…
