Abstract

Nouns play an essential role in the daily use of language, primarily identifying and naming people and things. Different language users have distinct rules and habitual methods to form words, as well as to pronounce and define grammars. These fixed and conventional language rules are influenced by speakers’ thinking process, meanwhile, form speakers’ particular world views and thinking modes. This article is concerned with the linguistic and thinking phenomenon that different language use and different thinking ways mutually influence each other, taking Chinese and English as typical compared instances. Based on the everyday use of nouns in two languages, this article analyses and summarizes how different word formations and use of nouns reflect different thinking ways.
