Shi-xu (2014). Chinese Discourse Studies. Basingstoke,England: Palgrave Macmillan.

Chinese Discourse Studies presents a culturally innovative approach to discourse and communication. Incorporating Chinese cultural and intellectual wisdom, it constructs a systematic research paradigm complete with distinct philosophy, theory, methodology and agenda. In addition, the volume illustrates the use of this paradigm by empirical studies of Chinese discourses of human rights, trade friction and urban development, respectively. An exemplar of Cultural Discourse Studies, Chinese Discourse Studies will have culturally critical implications for understanding and researching human communication, rendering itself an invaluable resource for students and scholars of discourse, communication, media, culture, as well as contemporary China.
