It is a sentence which glorifies some successful gymnasts from Eastern Europe but without mentioning the country or even the continent they are from. People surrounded the gymnasium and felt a sense of honour after obtaining their signatures. Whereas for the remaining 34 sentences which have themes of enhancing China, the national identity of the athletes, Chinese athletes and the Chinese delegation are never missed out, not to say the direct attribution of honour, influence and/or deference to the Chinese nation or the country. At this point, it is high time to see whether the press has done some facework.\n\nFace-Enhancing Versus Face-Threatening Themes\n\nIn order to look at the degree of favourableness of the sentences in general, the number of sentences in each kind of face situation are counted and cross-tabulated by event (Table 9). Of the 3,782 value sentences, 2,134 are enhancing China, which account for 56.7% of the total (column 1). Against this is the collection of sentences with themes threatening the face of China or her athletes. This amounts to 585 and represents 15.5% of the total (column 2). As for sentences which concern other countries, athletes, people etc from other countries, the figures for enhancing vs threatening are 842 vs 212, which account for 22.3% and 5.6% of the total respectively (bottom of Columns 3 and 4).\n\nTABLE 9.

In face-enhancing situations to China or her people, the strategy is usually elaboration of the performance of the athletes, or highlighting the successful performance of them. For the latter, the most obvious is the use of the front page.\n\nEarlier in this paper, it has been found that themes that are enhancing to China are found to be in larger proportions than the other three, but the proportions of face-enhancing China sentences to those threatening her are similar to those concerning other countries in the four Games (see Table 9). In the tabulation of front page articles, the picture is quite different (Table 13). The proportion of face-enhancing sentences to China is much larger, and the ratio of enhancing versus threatening sentences is different between those concerning China and those concerning other countries. The ratio in the former shows a much more enhancing picture.\n\nTABLE 13.

When we compare this with Table 9, the figure is 2143, and only 56.7% of the total. A difference of more than 20% between these two means that the front page articles are significantly more enhancing than the rest. The figure for threatening China sentences is found to be of a much diminished size, only 8.9% compared to 15.5% for the general average.\n\nA cross comparison could be made when we check with the figures for sentences concerning other countries, that is Columns 3 and 4 in Table 13 and Table 9. In Table 13, the front page articles contain 56 sentences enhancing the face of other countries, a percentage of 9.8% of the total. The figure for threatening other countries is 20 and 3.5%. Thus the latter is about one-third of the former. In Table 9, overall, the articles contain 842 sentences enhancing to other countries against 212 threatening sentences. The ratio is approximately four to one, a more enhancing picture than that in Table 13. Thus, it could be firmly stated that the front page articles are more enhancing than the rest. This could be viewed as an editorial treatment and a face strategy of enhancing the face of China and her athletes.\n\nIt has been mentioned above that face-enhancing situations (sentences) are much larger in proportions than face-threatening situations for both China and others. In a second reading of the articles contained in the sample, the ways these situations are accounted for are observed and marked. Although face-enhancing situations for China are in a substantial proportion, the strategies used are just a handful in number.\n\nFirst, the strategy of enhancing could be either in editorial or semantic forms. One of the editorial face-enhancing strategies is putting favourable contents on front pages and this has been shown in the above section. Another editorial treatment of favourable contents could be seen in the design of medal standing tables. At times when China was well positioned in the medal standings, the table of medal winning countries would usually be in larger size, better locations such as the middle columns, more attractive designs such as bold characters. Examples could be found in the final medal standing table in the Asian Games '86 printed on page two of the October 6th issue and also the one in Universiade '85 printed on page three of the September 3rd issue.", "txt_file_path": "txt/dfo323lmgvd/RAS-1993.txt", "external_url": "https://digitalrepository.lib.hku.hk/catalog/66833t302", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 213010, "series_id": 26, "series_slug": "histsyn-rashkb-journal-engine", "series_title": "RASHKB Journal 皇家亞洲學會香港分會學刊", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "RAS-1993", "page_number": 78, "title": "RAS-1993", "content_text": "57\n\nUniversiade 1987. Also, he was compared to another former world record holder, Paklın who came ninth, a worse rank than Zhu, to alleviate the negative elements of Zhu's loss\n\nWhile the Chinese press reported some of the upsets, losses and defeats, very often these drawbacks could not be seen, or could hardly be witnessed in the papers. They could be dumped into the bottom corner of a page (China being 15th in medal table, 27 August, 1985; women volleyball loss, 29 August, 1985; only one gold won in a day, 29 September, 1986) by editorial treatment of diminished in terms of semantic treatment. When the press gave details of winners from other countries, it might not supply information on Chinese losers (Ong Kanggian in decathlon, 12 August, 1984; two losers in heptathlon, 6 August, 1984; swimmers' losses in previous days, 13 July, 1987, men's basketball, 31 August, 1985; shooting, 24 September, 1986). Even when the losses were reported, they were in negligible amounts of words (men's tennis, 2 October, 1986; 27 August, 1985; Zheng & Yang failures in women's high jump, 12 August, 1984),\n\nSometimes, the reports on upsets were of equal length with those about successes, but they were omitted in the headlines (soccer, 2 October, 1986; waterpolo, 3 September, 1985). The context of some victorious events were not given so that even a win in a 9-12 place match could be glorified (men's volleyball, 3 September, 1985). Details of Chinese athletes or teams championing in events were given, but only brief notes were made of Chinese losers, not to say explanations of these losses (swimming and gymnastics, 27 August, 1985, fencing, 28 August, 1985, women's volleyball, 5 August, 1984)\n\nAnother class of strategies seen to have been used in the sample is excuse. Jet lag (4 and 29 July, 1984), crowd noise (31 July, 1984; 23 September, 1986); mood, injury, tiredness, inexperience of athletes (5 and 11 August, 1984; 17 July, 1987; 29 September, 1986; 27 August, 1985) etc. were among the types of excuses often used. Poor adjudication was directly pointed out once in gymnastics (14 August, 1984) and the fault of one player affecting the morale of the entire football team was mentioned in another (3 September, 1985). Sometimes, the equipment was blamed, such as an archer not having adapted to a new bow (13 August, 1984).", "txt_file_path": "txt/dfo323lmgvd/RAS-1993.txt", "external_url": "https://digitalrepository.lib.hku.hk/catalog/66833t302", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 213012, "series_id": 26, "series_slug": "histsyn-rashkb-journal-engine", "series_title": "RASHKB Journal 皇家亞洲學會香港分會學刊", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "RAS-1993", "page_number": 80, "title": "RAS-1993", "content_text": "59\n\ndefeats and only terse explanations were given (women's diving, 8 August, 1984; men's high jump, 13 August, 1984, women's fencing, 9 July, 1987; men's gymnastics, 26 August, 1985). Lengthy discussions of losses were rare but not totally absent (table-tennis upset, 25 and 26 September, 1986) Losses that were attributed to misguidance by coaches were also of a rare species, and it was only once in the overall commentary on the 1985 Universiade (6 September).\n\nMore often, the reasons for the losses were the faults of the players, their disobedience to coaches' advice (16 July, 1987). Usually, only poor performance was admitted. An exceptional case was that women fencers demonstrated poor conduct towards judges' decisions. But this “case” was only contained in one single sentence and contradicted with previous reports which stressed the “appropriate” behaviour exhibited by fencers towards questionable calls from judges (15 July, 1987)\n\nDirect scolding of rivals could also be found. In a report on the shooting venue, almost one-third of the article was about the crowd noise (26 September, 1986). In athletics, the Japanese were said to have set a trap to the Chinese runner in 10,000m event (30 September, 1986) and another Japanese athlete was said to have exceeded her usual standard in her win (2 October, 1986), thereby casting doubts upon the fairness of Japanese victories. In the 1986 badminton competition, the linesmen and the service judge were named as \"secret weapons\" of the Korea team (30 September, 1986) defeating Chinese players.\n\nWhen the situation proved to be face-enhancing to athletes or people other than those of China, different strategies were seen to portray them, The more frequently used ones are evasion and negative portrayal. The former employed a more passive way while the latter was in a much more active mode.\n\nIn some types of sports, there could be draws. In these events, there were cases in which Chinese athletes drew with their rivals However, while the Chinese press seldom missed out the victorious Chinese, the co-victors were often neglected Illustrations of this type of strategy could be found in the case of gymnastics\n\nIn 1984, Ma Yanhong of China came first in women's uneven bars, tying with American Julianne McNamara. But the press did not even mention that this was a tie, let alone the co-victor's name, in a lengthy", "txt_file_path": "txt/dfo323lmgvd/RAS-1993.txt", "external_url": "https://digitalrepository.lib.hku.hk/catalog/66833t302", "rank": 0 } ]
