Abstract

The hybridity of words in literary texts and the multiplicity of theoretical discourse fundamentally determine the cross-cultural attributes of literary studies. This feature holds significant value for understanding different cultural traditions and presenting one’s cultural traits in a mutually contextualized manner. By analyzing the cross-cultural essence of literary studies with a focus on word transformation and critical discourse and also emphasizing that literary studies should fully consider the linguistic elements of literary texts, the theoretical origins of critical terminology, and the cultural stance of the researcher, it becomes possible to understand the important role of literary studies in humanistic academic knowledge production.
