CHINESE-ENGLISH CONTRASTIVE GRAMMAR
Module Synopsis
單元概要
This course aims at raising students’ awareness of fundamental lexico-grammatical differences between Modern Standard Chinese and English. The contrasts will focus on grammatical subsystems of Chinese and English selectively. Common language-contact phenomena as manifested in English (EFL errors) and Chinese (features of Europeanization) will be used as a means to help students discover salient lexico- grammatical differences between Modern Standard Chinese and English. Phonological differences between Cantonese and English will also be discussed.
