About the Author :
Daniel Z. Kadar is a Research Fellow at the Department of Oriental Studies of the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He has conducted extensive research on historical Chinese politeness, politeness research, historical pragmatics, Chinese letter writing and Critical Discourse Analysis. He currently studies the driving force behind the collapse of historical Chinese politeness during the 19th and early 20th centuries. His publications include Terms of (Im)politeness (ELTE University Press), Historical Chinese Letter Writing (Continuum, in press), and Politeness in Historical and Contemporary Chinese Communication - A Comparative Analysis (co-authored with Yuling Pan, Continuum, in preparation).

Review :
A delight to read and a welcome challenge for any scholar of discourse in Chinese contexts, as well as for researchers in cross-cultural politeness and pragmatics, and students of Chinese communication, more broadly. LinguistList With empirical studies employing diverse methods, analytic frameworks and data sources, this edited volume successfully fills a knowledge gap in Chinese discourse studies. This volume is recommended for students and scholars working on Chinese discourse analysis, intercultural pragmatics and intercultural studies. Language in Society An illuminating read with a cohesive focus. Surveys an impressive array of approaches and analytic methods in the latest scholarship on Chinese discourse and interaction. Language and Dialogue The volume makes a worthwhile theoretical and methodological contribution to Chinese discourse research and offers us insights into how to achieve communication successfully and efficiently in some Chinese contexts.
