London, Equinox, 2013. ix + 326 pp. ISBN: 9781845536329 (hardback), price: £ 60.00 ($ 99.95) Reviewed by Chit Cheung Matthew Sung, Lingnan University While today Chinese is one of the world's major languages and one which has been thoroughly researched in the study of pragmatics, there has not yet been a systematic or comprehensive study on Chinese discourse.

The edited volume Chinese Discourse and Interaction: Theory and Practice fills this gap and represents a timely addition to the field of Chinese discourse and communication studies. By taking a linguistic approach, the volume introduces Chinese discourse in a wide range of domains and settings, and analyzes Chinese interaction through the lens of a variety of approaches within the discipline of linguistics, including speech act theory, interactional sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, pragmatics, and ethnography of communication.
