漢語和英語兩種語言之間最基本的區(qū)別在于句法方面。英語重形合 (hypotaxis)，句中各意群、成分都用適當(dāng)?shù)倪B接詞 (connective)、介詞 (preposition)、非限定性動詞短語 (phrase)或從句 (clause)等來表達(dá)其相互關(guān)系，因而結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)狈椥裕欢鴿h語句法則重意合(parataxis)，句中各意群、成分通過內(nèi)在的聯(lián)系貫穿在一起，不一定或很少用連接詞、介詞，也沒有非限定性動詞短語或從句，因此結(jié)構(gòu)松散，但富于彈性，從句子整體來看，意義清楚，不會產(chǎn)生誤解。
