The peculiarity of English spoken language and Chinese spoken language
The peculiarity of English spoken language and Chinese spoken language
Chinese and English are two different languages used by different people and countries respectfully. Either Chinese or English has a long history. Admittedly, there are some similarities between the tow. However, huge differences make the two very much unlike each other.
To begin with, I would like to take spoken language as an example. The pronunciations of Chinese and English are quite dissimilar. Chinese spoken language usually has four tones, making a syllable sound various. On the contrast, there are usually not such tones changing in English pronunciation, but only stresses. In general, the intonation of Chinese is much more changeable than is English. Scientists have discovered that Chinese speakers use both of the semi-spheres of their brains, while at the same time English speaking people use only one side. This piece of evidence accounts for the reason that English speaking people are having hard times in learning oral Chinese and vice versa.
