“…These concepts and theories have been linked to silence, taciturnity, vagueness, indirectness, imagery, combination of void and substance (xushi xiangsheng), and many other linguistic characteristics. Further, there has been a consistent flow of studies in Asian forms of linguistic activities, cross-cultural linguistic differences between Asia and America or other cultures, and discursive construction of Asian identities especially in intercultural contexts (Bhalla, 2006;Burusphat, 2002;Chung, 2000;Hogan, 1999;Kallivayalil, 2004;Nijhawan, 2008;Oga, 2004;Ohtaki, Ohtaki, & Fetters, 2003;Pal & Buzzanell, 2008;Pennsylvania, 2002;Saunders, 2007).…”

The study of discourse, or situated linguistic communication, has been mainly dominated by Westcentric perspectives, models, approaches and issues. In this article, I argue that it is not only necessary but also possible to construct Asian paradigms of discourse studies as a new speaker in critical dialogue with the Western mainstream. After pointing out the limitations of Western discourse analysis, I outline the foundations for the paradigmatic articulation in terms of the textual and contextual characteristics of Asian discourses on the one hand and the Asian cultural and intellectual resources on the other hand. In conclusion, I suggest future agendas for the construction of the envisaged Asian paradigms of discourse research.

“…Later, the son was given the title Tao Lo and appointed by his father to rule over the people of Mueang Lo. Later generations expanded to establish Tai Dam communities in other areas nearby with a network of principalities famously known as Sip Song Chou Tai (Chamberlain 1986(Chamberlain , 1992Đặng 1977;Cầm 1978;Hartmann 1981;Mukdawijitra 2014;Burusphat 2016;Saiphan 2013Saiphan , 2018. As a result, Mueang Lo signifies a place of origin for the Tai Dam people.…”

“…The ancestors of the Tai Dam were sent by Thaen from heaven and first established their homeland at Mueang Lo (Đặng 1977;Cầm 1978;Burusphat 2016). Vietnamese ethnologists have determined that the Tai Dam established their first settlement in northwestern Vietnam around the 11th century (Đặng 1977;Cầm 1978).…”

The objective of this study is to analyze Tai Dam funeral manuscripts called Kwam Bok Tang or Kwam Song Phi Khuen Mueang Fa. It is a comparative study conducted among Tai Dam or Lao Song in Thailand and Tai Dam in northwestern Vietnam. The texts reveal that Mueang Lo, Nghĩa Lộ in Vietnam, is the place of origin where the first community was established. It illustrates that the Khwan, the spirit or essence of life of the deceased, will be sent from the current settlement back along the route of migration to Mueang Lo before ascending to heaven to meet their ancestral spirits. Fittingly, this could be considered as Tai Dam diaspora consciousness of their ancestral homeland and the place of origin that records historical memory and historiography in forms of funeral manuscripts and rituals their funeral ceremony.
