Annotation

This crosslinguistic, historic study demonstrates that the multiplicity of (15 general in English language translated, then back into Thai translated) meanings of the Thai cultural practice of krengjai can be promptly accounted for by English-language research, employing a critical discourse analytic perspective to sharply define the context of the examined cultural practice.
