On the question of Chinese grammar features

Bogdanova Nadezhda Andreevna, Solntceva Elena Georgievna

In this article, the authors study the features of the Chinese grammar, which differs from the grammars of other languages by a few features. For example, if we talk about parts of speech, we should note that nouns in Chinese do not differ in gender, do not decline in cases, and do not change in numbers. In such cases, the Chinese language has special service words called counting words. The order of words in the language is strictly defined, if there is not the subject or some other part of the sentence, then such changes in the structure are always specified in the rules. The difference between the grammatical structure of the Russian and the Chinese languages is shown in illustrative examples. The research is based on the works of Chinese, Soviet and Russian linguists.
