The meaning of "一切"and"所有"is already the same.But the two words have bigdifferences in syntactic,semantic and pragmatic aspects. On the basis of previous research,using the theory of three planes and the methods of quantitative analysis and qualitativeanalysis and so on,this paper planes to analyze the grammatical features of "一切"and "所有"and discuss the differences between them.First,we discuss the grammatical features of"一切"."一切"is a pronoun.In thesyntactic aspects ,it can act as subject,object,attributive and many others. It can overlap andcan be used with many other words.In the semantic aspects,the objects it refer to can be in aspecific limit or have no limit.It emphasizes on the quantity of things.In the pragmaticaspects,it has the functions of being the topic,highlighting the summary and so on.Second,we discuss the grammatical features of"所有"."所有"is also a pronoun.In thesyntactic aspects,it can act as attributive only.But it is the same with "一切"in other aspectsuch as being overlap and being used with many other words .In the semantic aspects,itemphasizes on the variety of things.In the pragmatic aspects,it has the functions of beingthe topic,highlighting the summary and so on.Third,we discuss the comparison between the two.The differences between them areas follows.In the syntactic aspects,"一切"can act as subject,object alone,while "所有"can not."所有"can be used with the structure of "numeral+quantifier+noun"and "these",while "一切"can not.Besides,they have differences in their overlap.In the semantic aspects,they all refer to the whole things and the objects they refer toare all the same.But their focus and the scope of semantic are different.In the pragmatic aspects,"一切" is more subjective than "所有",and "所有"is moreobjective than "一切"."一切"and"所有"can exchange under certain conditions.When NP are the thingswhich can be categorized ,they can exchange as attributive.When they are modified by thepossessive nouns or premises term,they can exchange as the head of the object.When there are limits of semantic or the usual structures,they can not exchange.
