Annotation

This inquiry conducts a corpus-assisted discourse study of the representations of post-colonial Hong Kong in The Times over the past 20?years. The findings suggest that The Times’ representations of Hong Kong tend to be crisis- and conflict-oriented. The same trend can also be distinguished in The Times’ representations of the mass protests against the presented extradition bill in 2019.
