Abstract: The past few decades have seen corpus linguistics emerging as a new and dynamic social research method. Text corpora provide large databases of naturally-occurring discourse, enabling empirical analysis of the actual patterns of language use; and, when coupled with (semi-)automatic computational tools, the corpus-based approach enables analysis of a scope not otherwise feasible. Examples of real life language use are collected, in order to support or negate the researcher’s hypothesis. Corpus access software can not only demonstrate the nonobvious in a single text, but expose ‘hidden thoughts’ beyond the cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">viagra pris storbritannienhttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-till-salu/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">viagra till saluhttp://arcthreerivers.org/es/puedo-comprar-cloroquina/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">puedo comprar cloroquinahttp://arcthreerivers.org/es/compre-kamagra-en-linea-con-receta-medica/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">compre kamagra en linea con receta medicahttp://arcthreerivers.org/es/ordenar-cialis-por-factura/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">ordenar cialis por facturahttp://arcthreerivers.org/fr/acheter-cialis-en-hollande-sans-ordonnance/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">acheter cialis en hollande sans ordonnancehttp://arcthreerivers.org/fr/prix-kamagra-italie/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">prix kamagra italiehttp://arcthreerivers.org/es/como-comprar-cloroquina/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">como comprar cloroquinahttp://arcthreerivers.org/nl/koop-viagra-in-rotterdam/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">koop viagra in rotterdamhttp://arcthreerivers.org/es/comprar-propecia-en-murcia/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">comprar propecia en murciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/es/oferta-viagra/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">oferta viagrahttp://arcthreerivers.org/nl/levitra-recept-frankrijk/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">levitra recept frankrijkhttp://arcthreerivers.org/it/comprare-priligy/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">comprare priligyhttp://arcthreerivers.org/it/acquistare-cialis-super-attivo/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">acquistare cialis super attivohttp://arcthreerivers.org/ordina-viagra-in-svizzera/" title="cialis canadian farmaciahttp://arcthreerivers.org/se/viagra-pris-storbritannien/">ordina viagra in svizzera researcher’s expectation. Corpus investigation is useful for critical linguists, because the observed frequent repetitions help the researchers to identify and make explicit descriptions of texts. Corpora can play an extremely important role in critical social research, allowing researchers to identify objectively widespread patterns of naturally occurring language and rare but telling examples, both of which may be overlooked in a small-scale analysis.

China Media Centre Spring 2016 Seminar: Prof Michel Hockx (SOAS, University of London)
Speaker: Prof Michel Hockx (SOAS, University of London)
Date: Wednesday, 24 February 2016
Time: 14:00 – 16:00 (with refreshments to follow)
Venue: A6.03
Chair: Dr David Feng
OPEN TO ALL
This paper surveys the development of online creative writing in Mainland China in the past fifteen years. It demonstrates how online communities are bringing about unprecedented changes in the structure of the Chinese literary field, both through literary and aesthetic innovations and through challenges to the established system of publishing. Both high-end and low-end forms of literary production are taken into account. The Chinese phenomena are discussed against the background of recent debates in western scholarship about the concept of “world literature,†which so far have largely excluded online texts.
Bio:
Michel Hockx (b. 1964) is Professor of Chinese at SOAS, University of London, and founding director of the SOAS China Institute. He studied Chinese language and literature at Leiden University in The Netherlands, and at Liaoning and Beijing Universities in China.

He has also published on modern Chinese poetry. His most recent monograph, Internet Literature in China, came out with Columbia University Press in 2015.

Summary: 02 December 2015 China Media Centre Seminar with Vincent Ni, BBC
The China Media Centre’s first seminar for academic year 2015-2016 was held on 02 December 2015. Mr Vincent Ni from the BBC World Service came over to discuss his experience, knowledge, and views on the BBC, its reporting, and Vincent’s news coverage experience, plus much more.
Mr Ni worked in both Chinese and price online levitra pills usa international news media, including Caixin magazine, and now the BBC World Service. He has covered the recent elections in Burma, as well as events of Ukraine, the Arab Spring, and many other events.
His talk, which evolved into a multi-way seminar and discussion, also covered the essence of reporting news in an unbiased way. It is important that, in particular for news organisations such as the BBC, views from both sides are presented, and no side is “favoured” as “the news”.
Views were also exchanged on reporting societies in tradition (such as China), China’s international communications strategy, communicating viewpoints and values, responsibility for the audience (particularly commoners), and other issues. The well-attended seminar was held more as a roundtable, so to encourage interaction. The seminar was followed by discussions over refreshments.
Dr David Feng chaired the talk.
