Coherence in Chinese Conversation

Guo Xie

Abstract


Conversational analysis, as a branch of spoken discourse analysis, is to investigate the way that conversation works in
practice. Relevant studies on the adjacency pairs in conversational analysis aim to explore the discourse coherence. To probe into
the coherence in Chinese conversation in a further way, this paper investigates how a chain of adjacency pairs functions in Chinese
conversation.

Keywords


Illocutionary acts; Conversational analysis; Adjacency pairs
