A Study of Microcosm and Macrocosm in Contrast between English and Chinese

This paper briefly summarizes the current situation of microcosmic study both at home and abroad at first. It points out that the theoretical study mainly exists in the universality of the language structure, but a large of pragmatic study is urgently carried on at present. The emphasis of the pragmatic study is in the distinctive point of the two languages, including the distinction in the same and one word in chinese without its counterpart in English. Meanwhile it puts forward the problem of macroscopic study in contrast and its important methods-the contrastive study should be carried out together with the social function of the language and the linguistic psychology. It enlarges the domain of the contrastive study and moves forward the contrastive study between English and chinese.
