This paper conducts an empirical study on the measurement indices of grammatical complexity of English native speakers’ Chinese writing,and analyzes the features of English native speakers’ Chinese writing grammatical complexity from an English-Chinese comparative perspective. As revealed by quantitative statistics,three measurement indices are proven effective,i.e.the number of topic chains,the number of topic chain clauses and the number of empty categories,while T-unit and the length of topic chains are not effective indices.Besides,the grammatical complexity of English native speakers’ Chinese writing experiences three stages:subject-prominence stage,mixed subject and topic prominence stage,and topic-prominence stage.The results corroborate part of Jin(2007).
