Linguistics is a discipline that studies the patterns and evolutional laws of language structure  The search for pattern and law is the common goal of linguistics and other sciences  However, scientific goals are far from enough  The common methodological features of modern science, such as deduction and induction, qualitative and quantitative, description and interpretation, hypothesis and testing, are exactly what Chinese traditional linguistics lacks  At the same time, Chinese linguistics is also faced with the problem of internationalization  Our voice in the international academic community of linguistics is still very weak
The reason for this situation can not be completely attributed to the different objects of study, and the international academic language is the language barrier of English, and there are also problems of research ideas and research methods
The exploration of the pattern of language structure and the law of evolution is the ultimate pursuit of modern linguistics
