The Reconstruction of Modality in Chinese-English Government Press Conference Interpreting

Focusing on Government Press Conference (GPC) Interpreting within the Chinese context, this book employs Systemic Functional Grammar to analyze modality shifts in 21 interpreting events. It combines qualitative and quantitative analyses to explore sociocultural influences and interpersonal effects linked to these shifts. By examining the unique characteristics of GPC interpreting in China, the work aims to enhance understanding of modality rendition between Chinese and English, while also offering insights into the broader nature of interpreting practices.
