FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: “But, but me no buts: Contrastive Markers in Interpreted and Non-Interpreted Policy Speeches”
FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: “But, but me no buts: Contrastive Markers in Interpreted and Non-Interpreted Policy Speeches”
Abstract: The rendition of political speeches and political interpreting usually involves the employment of high-level pragmatic competence.

This study, therefore, aims to investigate and compare the employment of two frequently used CMs, however and but, in interpreted and non-interpreted policy speeches in English. Datasets in the Chinese/English Political Interpreting Corpus (CEPIC), consisting of speeches delivered by top government officials in or interpreted into English, were […]
