This study investigates advice exchanges in international briefings where a spokesperson and the press interact. International briefings where a spokesperson and the press interact were used as the data and yielded the corpus containing 50,730 words. Instances of advice were collected in the question and answer section of the briefings in which advice-seeking questions are likely to be met by advice-giving answers. The findings showed similarities and differences from interpersonal advice. Advice in institutional briefings was realized as three common categories based on direct, hedged, and indirect form exhibiting diverse lexical and grammatical devices. The findings showed that linguistic features of institutional advice differed from those of interpersonal advice. Advice in the form of questions was rarely used in formal advice; instead, grammatical devices like imperatives, modal verbs, and performative items were employed. Among the various question and answer exchanges, advice exchanges were common, exhibiting the functions of advice in response to challenging questions and closing exchanges in a positive manner. Implications of the empirical findings were also discussed in relation with speech act theory and methodology.
