Annotation

Illocutional concurrences (IC) appear from different levels of situated speech acts. Mandarin evaluations display a larger inclination to directly single out the Addressee. Mandarin evaluations are featured by a greater illocutional ravel. Face-work is a more leading dimension of Mandarin evaluations. Mandarin evaluations display more recurring clause-peripheral intersubjectivity marking.
