Sentence Structure of Singlish in Written Materials: The Influence of Chinese on the English Superstrate
In this paper we studied sentence structure in Singlish, which is the English based creole language spoken in Singapore. We concentrated on two of its most distinctive characteristics topic prominence and subject drop so that we could understand the interactive process between English and the native strata that conditioned its development. As a means to conduct our research, we wrote a case study in which we analyzed a number of sentences taken from two Singlish texts, since most studies so far had predominantly concentrated on the analysis of oral materials obliterating as a result the written production of such language. The ultimate objective of our paper was to confirm whether the results of our investigation corresponded to those which linguists who study Singlish on different grounds have defended over the last few years.

A Contrastive Analysis of the Chinese and English Version of Rush from the Perspective of Hypotaxis and Parataxis
English and Chinese belong to two different language families. The study of hypotaxis and parataxis indicates that there is a major discrepancy in organizing languages between English and Chinese. The paper is focused on the hypotaxis prominence in English and the parataxis prominence in Chinese. English puts stress on overt formal cohesion which is indicated by the strict Subject Predicate structure, the indispensable connectives and relative words, and other cohesive ties like morphological changes and the frequent use of personal reference. And there are rigorous express of tense through inflectional changes in English to clarify the semantic of sentences. Chinese, on the contrary, lays emphasis on covert semantic coherence, which is manifested in the much more flexible Topic Comment structure and some other cohesive ties like the word order. And logical relationship between Chinese clauses or sentences always hides in their semantic relevance. Sentence coherence is displayed by a logical order or temporal sequence. From the perspective of hypotaxis and parataxis, the paper is aimed at making a contrastive analysis between the original text and the target text of Rush and indicting the differences between English and Chinese in hypotaxis and parataxis based on two major aspects of sentence structure and logical cohesive ties.

Analysis on the Structure of Chinese Spoken Sentence " V ye bu V"
Taking the commonly seen expression in spoken language "V ye bu V " (V refers to verb, "ye" means "also" in English and "bu" has the negative meaning in English) as the research object, this paper analyzes the characteristics and meaning of each component of such structure and expounds its discourse functions and contextual features. It is believed from syntactic analysis that the first "V" in "V ye bu V" is actually the omitted form with the same form as the second "V" after the preposition of the verb quantifier complement, evolving from "bu V yi V (negative) yi V ye bu V (negative) V ye bu V (negative)" Moreover, we find by means of corpus statistical analysis that monosyllable V in "V ye bu V " has the overwhelming advantages, presenting unmarked assembly. In the evolution, the whole structure gradually becomes fixed construction. The meaning of this construction is bu V in total or fundamental sense, which is the subjective judgment on deviated anticipation and expresses intensive subjective emotion and attitude. Keywords V ye bu V, construction, verb quantifier complement, meaning of construction, contextual relevancy
