It proceeds from the theory of Leech’s Seven Types of meaning , then comparatively illustrates with analysis of each type of meaning and cultural differences. And concludes with the cause of cultural differences and problems of it in cross-cultural communication with the hope that Chinese student could avoid Chinglish in learning and both Chinese and foreigners could avoid cultural shock when communicating with each other.展开更多

It makes a discrimination of the different aspects of meaning that the two branches of linguistics focus upon respectively. Both semantics and pragmatics are studies of the meanings of language. Semantics studies the meaning within the system of language while pragmatics studies the meaning with the speaker involved, that is to say from the social angle. Pragmatics is based on the knowledge of semantics. Given the fact that neither semantics nor pragmatics alone can solve the myth of the meaning of language, it may not be wise to make a clear cut between semantics and pragmatics.\;展开更多

In fact, the demonstrative pronoun “zhi(止)” and the mood auxiliary “zhi(止)” both evolved from the verb “zhi(止)”. As a demonstrative pronoun, “zhi(止)” and “zhi(之)” are different words with the same meaning; as a mood auxiliary word, “zhi(止)” corresponds to “yi(矣).” Besides, the form of “zhi(止)” is quite different from that of “zhi(之)”, so “zhi(止)” is unlikely to have evolved from “zhi(之)”.展开更多
