《中美版权争议的修辞学研究（英文版）/英语博士文库》共分六章，以修辞学的视角，运用比较、对比修辞、跨文化交流和意识形态批评的方法，分析了中西古典修辞学著作、中美现代法律和政令以及中美版权协议的三套共十二个文本资料，回答两个问题：中美两国的修辞和文化传统以及版权国际化怎样影响两国对版权保护的认识的法律实施？这种影响对中美专业交流有何意义？

《中美版权争议的修辞学研究（英文版）/英语博士文库》：
Collectivism／communitarianism "encourages members （of the group） to leave a legacy to society， neighborhood， and family， which lasts beyond the individual life" （Hampden—Tumer and Trompenaars， 2000， p.79）.This is to say that people on the collectivist side are integrated， from birth on， into extended in—groups that prioritize collective and inner group interests over indivdual ones （Hofstede， 2001）.China is the lowest individualist country among the countries investigated—showing the characteristics of "'we' consciousness， collective orientation， particularist， membership ideal， less consciousness of private life， activities imposed by context， traditional society" （Hofstede， 2001， p.227）.For instance， for a long time in China， a formal copyright law was entirely missing in the legal discourse.Authors were not benefited much from their creations because copyrights belonged to the nation.In return for their work， they received a very small manuscript fee.
Power distance， the last cultural dimension to be discussed in this chapter， refers to the extent to which a society accepts human inequality （Hofstede， 2001， p.79）.
