e. Xu Yulong (1992)gives us a definition of contrastive linguistic. He claims that Contrastive Linguisticsis a branch of linguistics and its task is to describe and compare two or morelanguages of their similarities and differences, especially differences, and apply theseresults to related fields. Wang Huang’s (1986) three problems in the process ofcomparison and Liu Miqing’s (1991) three dimensions in the first language transferframework, both are the significant guidances in the comparison between Chineseand foreign languages. Pan Guowen in 1995, talked about the philosophic basis ofthe language comparison as well as the relation between language comparison andthinking, which raises language comparison to a higher level.
