Legend: cf. Table 9 & 10.
The row percentages also show that the collective character is strong in the first column with each figure in rows two to five larger than that in row one. But in the third column, sentences that are found to be enhancing to athletes, people, nation etc other than that of China are of much more individual flavour. The number of sentences enhancing the individual athletes of teams are several times of those enhancing the delegation, the people, or the country. And, quite a large proportion (34.5%) in this column goes to third parties such as the Games, the continent, the world and so on.
Overall, the cross-tabulations between the level of the factors of face and the face situations presented display a strong sense of collectivity in the case of sentences enhancing China. This feature, however, does not appear in the other themes. Cross-tabulations between the factors and attributes of face with themes have also been calculated and they are of tangential value to the present study.
