There are four causes approximately:the rising of new things,fresh,brief and convenient principles,similar and correlative association,vocabulary trans-use.

This article classifies it into threee types: (1)the epithet is transferred from a person to a thing or idea; (2)the color term is transferred from one thing to another;(3)transferred classifier measure words.

Based on the theory of language transfer,the paper shows the impact from the first language transfer on the diction of subject by quoting and analyzing the statistics gathered from 90 samples of Chinese and American college students.

On the basis of the existing findings,the author divides words meaning into two categories: static meaning and pragmatic meaning.

In practical communications,the meaning system of the word does not stay in a self-closed or non-motion state but,in specific contexts,the meanings of words may change,thus forming particular pragmatic meanings.

The pragmatic meaning of the word is often unbalanced in realizing the value of the communicative function and the dominant degree is of difference.

The paper argues that Chinese language has developed and formed its unique pragmatic affix system In modern Chinese,many varieties of status affixes are the differentiation of the overlapped af- fixes of ancient Chinese.

This actual concept of a word in utterance,whether resulting in a narrower or broader literal concept or some combination of the two,is just the pragmatic meaning of a word in utterance.
