Contrastive Linguistics: History, Philosophy and Methodology provides a comprehensive historical, philosophical, and methodological overview of contrastive linguistics, with particular attention to the comparison of Chinese and Western languages, especially English. The book challenges the predominantly Western perspective traditionally associated with contrastive studies and highlights the development and contributions of contrastive linguistics in China. It traces the history of contrastive studies in the West from Wilhelm von Humboldt to the present and examines the development of contrastive studies in China from 1898 onwards. The authors discuss the nature, scope, theoretical foundations, and methodological principles of contrastive linguistics and consider its relationship with general, comparative, anthropological, and applied linguistics. The book provides a valuable perspective on the development of contrastive linguistics and promotes dialogue between different linguistic traditions. It is particularly useful for researchers and students interested in contrastive linguistics, Chinese linguistics, language comparison, and applied linguistics.
