ABSTRACT

The world today is in the midst of major changes unprecedented in a century, with a turbulent political landscape and a sluggish economy. China, as an important pole in the world's political and economic landscape, will have a growing voice in the international arena, and its institutions and policies will be increasingly valued and drawn upon by other countries. This thesis compares the Chinese and English versions of the Report on the Work of the Government delivered at the First Session of the 14th National People's Congress on 5th March 2023, and analyses the use of cohesion devices, including grammatical and lexical cohesion devices used in 2023 GWR, and explores their textual effects, intending to provide reference for the translation of political texts and media outreach work in China.
