Features: In the field of linguistics, this book addresses the challenges of re-evaluating the application of contrastive linguistic theory, the selection and determination of contrastive categories and items, and the collection and analysis of corpus. It expands the theoretical perspective of contrastive linguistics, deepens the understanding of contrastive categories, and makes new advancements based on previous research or in areas previously unexplored. The compilation of "A Comparative Research Report on Chinese and English Basic Numbers and Words" restricts the research scope to the ten basic numerals from "one" to "ten," providing a detailed description and comparison of Chinese and English basic numerals. The second part, "A Comparative Research Report on Chinese and English Antonyms," takes Chinese and English antonyms as the research subjects. From the perspective of research objectives, it primarily aims to verify the nature, characteristics, classification, and functions of antonyms through comparative studies, with a focus on theoretical comparison. Comparative research can generally be divided into two categories: one is factual comparison, and the other is theoretical comparison. The third part, "A Comparative Research Report on the Word-Forming Functions of 'Shang' and 'Xia' in Chinese and Japanese," takes the on'yomi (Sino-Japanese reading) morphemes written with the Chinese characters '' and '' in Japanese as the research subjects. Based on the comparison with the Chinese morphemes '' and ',' it examines their word-forming functions. The focus of the comparison is placed on the phonological forms, meanings, and functions of '' and '' in both languages. The book includes content such as the disciplinary positioning of natural language processing, the construction and related research of modern Chinese systematic corpora, lexical semantics and knowledge ontologies, and the study of the morpheme meaning and meaning relation of Chinese disyllabic compound words based on databases.
