In the first column, it can be seen that 2,791 out of 3,389 sentences concern the status, performance and/or moral behaviour of individual athletes or teams. The second largest is the category of delegation (11.68% of the total). The third largest proportion, although quite insignificant, goes to the category of country (1.98%). Taking the three nation-wide levels (people, country and government) together, the proportion of collective level sentences amount to 3.12%, which is 3.76% of the sum of individual ones.
The second column in Table 6 represents the level of face concern for the factor of other's reactions. The contrast in proportions is not as great as in Column 1. 45.37% of the sentences depicting other's reactions are of individual level. The second largest portion still goes to delegation (38.11%) whereas the third largest to people (5.63%). The three collective levels together account for 8.17%, and is 18% of the individual level sentences.
In the third column, the ratio is even closer among the different categories. Out of the 234 sentences which include attributes of face, 84 of them are about individual athletes or teams (35.90%), and 34 are about the delegation as a whole (14.53%). For the collective categories, 51 of them are about the country (21.79%), 31 of them about the people (13.25%), and 11 of them about the government (4.70%). These three, if added together, revert the picture of Columns 1 and 2. They account for 39.74% of the total (93 out of 234), larger than the 35.90% the individual level sentences present.
The question of the existence of collective face is given positive support in all three columns although the figures are rather small. Considering the supposed themes of the sports events — athletes and sports teams/delegation, the fact that the proportion of sentences at collective levels other than these categories of sports personalities could amount to figures of 3.12%, to figures that even surpass those of individual level ones, gives strong support to the proposition that collective face is existent. Further proof could be given in the cross-tabulations between the levels of factors of face with the attributes of face.
There are also 35 sentences each of which embraces basic factors of face, other's reactions as well as attributes of face. Cross-tabulations of the level of their concerns are shown in Table 7. The first column represents the level of status, role performance and/or moral conduct these sentences.
