Abstract

AbstrcatDuring the 20th century, linguistic research was most active in the new vernacular. After twenty year's research, the literary language has developed to have more and more aesthetic and artistic qualities than daily speech. Chinese literary language has had much more literary traits after it changes from classical Chinese to the new-vernacular. The writers in the new period don't put much stress on objective description of life any more in accordance with linguistic characteristics. Instead they enable the readers to create life by arousing their memory and imagination. They have made great achievements in sentence patterns, variation and recessive exaggeration of words and expressions, language's abnormal use and language style's coarseness, variegation and ugliness.
