| Abstract | This is a philosophical investigation of the linguistic strategy of Chinese Chan Buddhism. First，it examines the underlying structure of Chan communication，which determines the Chan pragmatics of 'never tell too plainly'. Second，this essay investigates the different types of the Chan strategies of indirect communication，such as the use of paradoxical，tautological and poetic language，which best demonstrate the principle of 'never tell too plainly'. The whole study indicates that Chan Buddhism provides the resources for our contemporary inquiry into the issue of indirect communication. |
