The marvel of language: Starting from the story of Chinese head

The Department of English Language and Literature, Tzu Chi University held a special lecture in September and invited Associate Professor Huang, Rui-heng Ray from the D Department of Applied Foreign Languages at National Taipei University of Business to give a lecture. In this lecture, he introduced the six major concepts of linguistics: composition, syntax, phonology, phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics, combining the vocabulary often used in English and Chinese.

There are many subtleties in language that we may not notice or find interesting when we use it normally. By using examples of everyday language use, we can increase our understanding of the subtleties of language. This will enable the audience to understand linguistics in an easy-to-understand way.

The students said, “It’s amazing that you have to spend more resources to think about it than the English that appears in the presentation, even though it’s obviously a native language.

“We don’t usually notice the subtleties of Chinese. ”
“The lecturer studied a lot of details in the field of linguistics, and it was really hard to introduce it to us in a very easy-to-understand way! ”
