This paper mainly discusses the origin of Chinese-English and tries to explore the essential features of it through the theories of language migration and analysis of many examples. This paper points out, based on Standard English, Chinese-English is an English variety mainly used by the Chinese people. It is unavoidable, useful, and necessary to spread Chinese culture. Chinese-English and Chinglish are inter-language variants because Chinese cultural influences are different. Chinese-English has its own complete system, regularity, and stability. This paper further clarifies the position of the Chinese-English and treats the Chinese-English phenomenon dialecticly and scientifically.展开更多

They are characterized by fewer words with more meanings, simplicity and profoundness, vividness and humoursness. In the process of writing, the writer, in order to deepen the meaning, will often use a variety of writing techniques and different forms of language features which is the treasure of the English Language, and the crystallization of the wisdom of English nations. So in this paper, the author will introduce in detail The Gulag Archipelago full of all kinds of language characteristics. These language features can be mainly divided into narrative language, dialogue-typed language, descriptive language and argumentative language. The in-depth discussion is based on these four points. This paper is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the author's life, and the formation process of the work to clarify the origin of the writer's thoughts. The second part focuses on language features from the angle of narrative language,dialogue-typed language, descriptive language, and argumentative language illustrated by numerous examples and several kinds of style so as to help us to understand more easily the profound meaning fully conveyed in the novel. The last part is to clarify the value of the works and its influence on later generations.展开更多

In ordinary discourse, speech or writing, the speaker or writer conveys his or her message through a process of encoding by means of language. Thus the comprehension of that message entails a reverse process, that of decoding. "In analysing the展开更多
