Examining the Native Speakers' Understanding of Communicative Purposes of a Written Genre in Modern Standard Chinese.
Yunxia, Zhu
Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v20 n1 p133-49 1997
Examines the different attitudes of native speakers in understanding a written genre of Modern Standard Chinese--sales letters. The study focuses on the use of formulaic components appearing in real Chinese sales letters and compares these components with the advice given in textbooks. Findings reveal a gap between business teaching and business writing practice. (21 references) (Author/CK)
