Abstract

This paper investigates the coordinate relation in Mainland Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese and Macau Chinese, including explicit relations, implicit relations and their parallel items. In order to conduct the comparative study, a corpus including official documents of Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau has been built. The study shows that the frequency of the explicit coordinate relation appearing in Hong Kong (53.5%) and Macao texts (23.1%) is much higher than that in Mainland China texts (1.5%), and the explicit coordinate relation occurs most frequently in Hong Kong texts. The study also shows that the connective types in Hong Kong (59 types) and Macao texts (21 types) are much more than that in Mainland China texts (11 types). Such differences are probably derived from the English influence on Hong Kong and Macau Chinese, according to the comparative results of the coordinate relation in English and Chinese texts of Hong Kong and Macau.
