Pragmatics Updates GXNU Graduate Program in Linguistics Applied Linguistics Edited by Shaozhong Liu Vol. 5 Issue No. 2005(1) Address: College of Foreign Studies, Guangxi Normal University, Guilin, 541004, China Website: /cofs; Email: szliu@ From the Editor It is universally acknowledged among academics that a good source to trace the edge-cutting in-depth studies of a discipline is to refer to the doctoral dissertations. This may be right in a large sense. But it is up to the individuals to judge. Many colleagues and graduate students asked me, if there exist any differences between an MA and a Ph.D., what some of the differences are. It’s not easy to express, but I do remember a comparison, which goes like this: An MA is one that knows something about everything, and Ph.D. is one that everything about something. Again, this is utterly up to individuals to judge if it makes sense. What I am trying to present in this circular are the abstracts of some of the doctoral dissertations within the concentration in pragmatics at Guangdong university of Foreign Studies. These abstracts were first collected by the website of China Pragmatics Association at . I hope they can help you, in a way, perceive the status-quo of pragmatic research in China.
