Why don't you give exact delivery time?

MoreLong description:
This innovative work combines traditional analysis with modern corpus-based methods to explore macro- and micro-level linguistic patterns in English and Chinese, offering new insights into comparative studies of the two languages.
Through detailed analysis of part-of-speech sequences, prepositional functions, pragmatic markers, and several other aspects, this volume uncovers key similarities and differences between English and Chinese. By integrating quantitative and qualitative methods with large-scale linguistic data, the book pushes the boundaries of contrastive linguistics, bridges cultural and linguistic divides, and deepens our understanding of how the two languages function and interact.
This book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in contrastive linguistics and the intersection of language, technology, and culture. It will also be essential reading for educators and practitioners in language teaching and translation.
