Examples are given to illustrate the research methods of American structuralist linguistics theory and its influence on the study of China.

For a long time, China only had philology, not linguistics. Real linguistics developed in the middle of the 20th century. Under the influence of western linguistic theory, grammar, phonetics, lexicology, phonology, exegetics and other disciplines have changed from traditional academic methods to modern academic methods. Among them, the American linguistic tradition has exerted a great influence on the study of China's language. American linguistics has a short history. It began in the 20th century 19. Because it has no long history and rich culture, it has no foundation of historical comparative linguistics. The earliest interest in linguistics was to study and record the indigenous languages and missionary needs of endangered Indians, which made American linguistics practical and scientific. From the 1940s, American linguistics began to exert a great influence on the world linguistic research. This paper introduces the influence of American descriptive linguistics, Chomsky's transformational generative grammar and cognitive grammar on China studies, mainly in grammar.
