Drawing on a large corpus of letters published in the South China Morning Post (Hong Kong’s main English-language newspaper), this talk examines aspects of citizenship, national identity,
argumentation, and civic engagement in public discourse using corpus-assisted discourse analysis. More broadly, the research seeks to foreground, and archive, committed citizen voices, now increasingly constrained by tightening restrictions on Hong Kong’s civic spaces and freedom of expression.
