Annotation

This book analyzes the way in which cultures, cultural groups, and members of such groups are represented in actual language use, focusing on how mental representations are put to use in situated and socially purposeful discourse (namely, interviews with Chinese expatriate academics in The Netherlands and Dutch travel accounts of China).
