Abstract
This study is the first to explore TCM communications in the Hong Kong context. Based on 20 hours of conversations (in Cantonese) between TCM doctors and their patients in the diagnostic interviews, the study explores how the doctor-patient relationship is negotiated in the course of the consultation, while both the doctor and the patient are constantly trying to manage and maintain common ground. Particular attention has been paid to the identification of specific linguistic and discourse strategies that TCM doctors have employed to establish doctor-patient rapport, so that a better understanding of patient-centered care in the TCM context is obtained.
