Responding to Questions at Press Conferences
by Wu, Peng Published by John BenjaminsPublished 2023.
Responding to Questions at Press Conferences makes clear how the spokespersons at China's diplomatic press conferences manoeuvre strategically in defining the issues in the empirical counterpart of the confrontation stage when responding to the journalists' questions and how this confrontational manoeuvring is meant to be instrumental in convincing the intended audience. The detailed and systematic analysis of the various modes of confrontational manoeuvring adopted by the spokespersons elucidate how China's recently established 'progressive' diplomatic style is shaped by its spokespersons' argumentative discourse.
