Governments and official organizations usually publish their tourism
reports in print or online to provide information about the current status or future
tendencies in the tourism industry. These special-purpose texts are tied to the
cultural values of their respective states. Therefore, the contrastive analysis of
these texts from different countries allows us to determine the differences in
language conventions and to perceive the cultural-cognitive differences reflected
in them. This corpus-based study conducts an interlingual-contrastive investigation
of German and Chinese tourism reports. Both qualitative and quantitative
analyses are employed to answer the following questions: 1) What are the differences
between the language conventions of German and Chinese official tourism
reports; 2) How are these interlingual differences characterized by cultural and
socio-cognitive perspectives?
