Abstract
Chinese and English address terms vary in types and characteristics. Chinese address system is more complex with more terms and a wider scope of application. As a special part of language, address terms are closely related to culture. Through the comparison between the Chinese and English address terms, the social and cultural elements embodied in the difference of the two systems can be revealed. The cultural difference in value concept, sense of hierarchy and sense of equality, and the different attitude toward the role of family greatly influence the difference between Chinese and English address terms.
