Xu Yulong’s Contrastive Linguistics offers a comprehensive exploration of the similarities and differences between languages, with a particular focus on Chinese and English. Grounded in contrastive linguistics theory, Hsu emphasizes that understanding phonology, vocabulary, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics is as crucial as recognizing cultural and contextual nuances. The book integrates theoretical analysis with practical applications, including translation strategies, bilingual education, and cross-cultural communication. By bridging linguistic theory and real-world practice, this volume equips students, translators, and researchers with tools to navigate language differences effectively, making it an essential resource for applied linguistics, translation studies, and comparative language research.
