language
1.Chinese language，Russian language，English language等表达方式前面有the。但在着重“语文”的场合往往不用the，如an elementary course in Chinese language和graduates in Russian language。假使后面接and literature，也可以不用the，如（the）Chinese language and literature。注意the Chinese language and its literature里有the。
2.下面各句都不错，但不很自然，最好把the和language删去：
- He is learning to write the Russian language.
- She speaks the English language very well.
- This novel has not yet been translated into the Chinese language.
3.spoken language和written language前面有the。
4.相当于language的形容词是linguistic，但language往往用作形容词，如language study，language student，language analysis，language usage和language difficulties。
5.English-language newspaper是“英语报纸”，English newspaper有时指“英语报纸”，但通常指“英国报纸”。
