Both English and Chinese are SVO languages, whereby the basis of these two languages are comparable. In the two languages,we can find, the main difference is the different word order in English will appear multiple inversion, the most important word order difference is the location of the attributive and adverbial. Chinese modifiers located in the center of the word before the English in the modifier. The difference on this syntax, often on language learning problems. In the process of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, I found the most common errors that occur in European and American students learning Chinese is the difference between the word order, a student from the United States, it is easy to say "I am a student from the United States "this bias is mainly due to interlingual migration, language differences between English and Chinese language migration impact. Its deep-seated reasons from the East-West cultural differences, particularly differences in the way of thinking. Reasons of cognitive science, to discuss migration in the interlingual analysis of Western culture, language, Europe and the United States as a foreign language teaching can not be ignored guidance to help students to use cognitive linguistic knowledge of the language bias, recognizing that in the West cognitive and different ways of thinking is necessary. In addition to the students to explain the cognitive theory is also conducive to study abroad to better understand Chinese culture connotation, the international spread of Chinese culture.
