Professor Pan Wenguo’s ideas on contrastive linguistics are profound and highly innovative. His academic pursuits span across the boundaries of time and space, encompassing both Chinese and foreign languages, ancient and modern, with a broad academic vision and diverse research areas, each of which has significant influence. Professor Pan’s academic innovations include: (1) introducing the concepts of prose-style and parallel-style, which have enlightening implications for the study of Chinese parallelism today; (2) discussing “constructions” as another manifestation of Chinese function words, which is equally enlightening for today’s research on constructions; (3) producing the theory of Compositional Translatology. These research ideas demonstrate foresight and insight, and his thoughts and methods embody the Chinese approach to comparative research.
