Language and Power in China
The existence of a specific form of political discourse and its associated actions
and rituals in the People’s Republic of China has been long noted. This chapter
reviews the literature on the existence of these key words and expressions and
the context in which they were produced, particularly as they relate to power. It
then looks at the ways in which elite political leaders in the Communist Party
from 2012 have created within the specific power discourse of contemporary
China a language which, while evidently profoundly affected and challenged
by that from diverse media which now exists, continues to assert its privileged
position within social language forms.
