Features: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many ethnic minority language science workers have been trained, and Comrade Shi Lin is one of them. He himself is an Dong ethnic person and has a deep understanding of the Chinese language. Naturally, the data used in his book "Comparative Study of the Grammar of Dong and Chinese Languages" would not be incorrect. This is one feature of this book. According to the 1990 population census, the Dong ethnic population numbered over 2.51 million, and Dong language is the symbol of communication among the members of this ethnic group. However, the Dong ethnic group and the Han ethnic group, as well as many other related ethnic groups, are descendants of the ancient "Proto-Sinitic-Caucasian" people. Today, they are jointly building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the great family of ethnic groups in the People's Republic of China; therefore, Dong people must learn Chinese, just as Han people participating in Dong-related affairs and studying Dong culture must learn Dong. In this regard, "Comparative Study of the Grammar of Dong and Chinese Languages" is not only an academic work but can also serve as a textbook for bilingual teaching. This is the second feature of this book. To make language teaching more convenient, this book analyzes and compares sentences in both Chinese and Dong languages by sentence patterns, and then analyzes phrases, words, and morphemes. This is the third feature of this book. The above three features of this book make it a book with distinctive characteristics.
