Abstract:Based on Chinese and English recruitment advertisements from banking websites, this paper makes a contrastive move analysis between Chinese and English recruitment advertisements with the help of corpus tools.The findings are as follows.First, both Chinese and English recruitment advertisements have obligatory and optional moves, but moves in Chinese recruitment advertisements are relatively completed.Second, English recruitment advertisements attach equal importance to quality requirement and employee training while Chinese recruitment advertisements focuse more on the requirement part.Third, both Chinese and English recruitment advertisementsuse personal pronouns, especially second personal pronouns, to bridge the gap between the employer and employees.
