It included that the influence of word order and lexical factor on the cross-linguistic syntactic priming; the magnitude difference between within language and cross languages syntactic priming. After that, a main model of bilingual syntactic priming was introduced. Finally, some questions which need further study were also put forward, for example, the effects of word order and lexical factor on the cross-linguistic syntactic priming
