Features: Russian and Chinese are non-related languages, and strictly speaking, there is no consistent syntactic relationship in their sentence structures. The comparative analysis of Russian and Chinese sentences based on situational models is an attempt by the author in recent years to conduct bilingual contrastive research. Whether it is successful and recognized will be verified by history. We base the comparative analysis of the situational models of Russian and Chinese sentences on their syntactic and semantic structures, but focus the perspective on the pragmatic functions of the sentences. Therefore, it can be said that establishing situational models of sentences goes beyond their syntactic and semantic structures and is more suitable for contrastive research when there are rarely corresponding syntactic structures in two non-related languages. Based on the principles of bilingual contrastive research, this book focuses on studying the syntactic, semantic, and communicative structures of Russian and Chinese sentences. Through the comparative and analytical study of a large number of Russian examples, the author reveals the logical semantic relationships between words in different Chinese phrases, and conducts a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences in the various elements of single-situation sentences and situational relationship sentences in different linguistic expressions and methods, revealing the basic factors that constrain sentence transformation. Based on a large number of linguistic facts, the author also concludes that the theory of functional segmentation is not suitable for Chinese texts.
