1 Introduction
With the reform and opening-up of China, as well as economic globalization, Chinese people are communicating with other countries more and more frequently. As a major tool for international communication, English plays an extremely important role, Chinese people begin to attach more importance to learning English. However, under the influence of Chinese culture and thinking patterns, Chinglish emerges.
Chinglish is a misshapen, hybrid language that is neither English nor Chinese and it is described as “English with characteristics of Chinese” by Joan Pinkham. It has been considered one of the major communication barriers. This study will focus on analyzing the causes of Chinglish, its influence on English learning and countermeasures. Moreover, the study wants to help readers to better overcome Chinglish. In order to complete this work, it is necessary to search and study a considerable number of academic journals and works at home and abroad.
