Course Objectives

        This introductory course discusses major differences between English, Chinese, and some other languages in phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis, textual structure, and pragmatics. Special problems posed by these differences are examined to demonstrate the insights provided by contrastive analysis for the practice and study in such related fields as general linguistics, applied linguistics, linguistic translation, second language acquisition and teaching, bilingual lexicography, cross-cultural communication, and other subjects of study which involve the use of a second language.
