A series of studies have explore its definition, motivation, principle, type, function, explanatory power and etc. As CC is still a quite young field and lots of relevant theoretical studies and experimental studies have been implemented, it is necessary to review previous development of CC which enables us to better understand its current situation and prospect. This paper aims to make a review on CC to give some implications for further studies and finds that studies abroad and at home have some similarities but show different focuses and denote different developmental trends.展开更多
