A. Nida●就汉语和英语而言，也许在语言学上最重要的一个区别，就是形合和意合的对比。
Differences between syntax:●形合与意合（hypotaxis and parataxis): 英汉两种语言最本质的区别●Hypotaxis: The dependent or subordinate construction or relationship of clauses with connectives, e.g.I shall despair if you don‟t come.●形合指句中的词语或分句之间需要一种语言形式手段（如连词或关联词）连接起来，表达一定的语法意义和逻辑关系。
●Parataxis: The juxtaposition of clauses or phrases without the use of coordinating or subordinating conjunctions, e.g.The rain fell; the river flooded; the houses were washed away.●意合指词语或分句之间不用语言形式手段进行连接，句中的语法意义和逻辑关系通过词语或分句的含义来表达。
